Be really careful with the MCS. Unless it's a newer one, they use firewire to to connect the print controller to the PC. That can be a real issue if you try to upgrade past windows XP. Not to mention software compatibility. I always try to preserve the original system on PCs like that. The...

Gasoline has just about the slimmest margins of any product sold in the US. A significant part of the reason is because purveyors post their prices on giant billboards.

. . . you're interviewing a 23 year old for a job in prepress and they ask you if you ever heard of a program called Quark.

The first two years of the Komori LS press were utter rubbish. You'd have been a lot better off with the last years of the L series. Integrating a completely new ink application methodology with existing systems sounds like a much more daunting task than the relatively incremental changes made...

It's really interesting to hear you say that. My experience as an owner is the exact opposite. I am desperate for quality employees in a number of positions (prepress in particular). We pay well, have excellent benefits, a very stable company, lots of 10, 15 and 20 year employees here - so it...

Am I understanding this correctly? Komori is beta testing a brand new press design at 'a' printer (as in singular) and then will be ready to release the press. Sounds like everybody receiving an NS40 in Spring of 2018 will be beta testers too.

If you come to me with all your problems because you cannot solve them yourself, don't be surprised at review time when I'm unimpressed with your speech about how valuable you are.

The original question is actually interesting tho. What is the production cost right now and what do they think it will be? Gordo, you might give some companies too much credit for their ability to calculate ROI accurately. I have a lot of empirical data to back that up! Sometimes people get...

I've got it. The question is too bizarre to be a metaphor. Literally which weighs more? Well, both are ideas and not massive objects and would seem to have no weight. However, ideas are represented and stored as anagrams in the brain. Each of these anagrams is pre-establied network of some...

Yet another in a long list of reasons to go with Techkon instead of x-rite - imo.

I hope they offered to pay all the time and costs you incurred on the project since it was originally given to you. I find that we always have to remind the penny pinchers about that.

Apparently . . . . things are getting really tight at Xerox and they're looking to make a buck wherever they can.;)

I'd plan on a long search - and maybe some additional research before you fork out any money.

It's UV cure. We're printing KCMY and curing after K and Y and at delivery.

I would love to hear from anybody else with experience. We've just started studying this. D Man, I think you'll find this varies with inkset used and probably with the stock. PVC can vary greatly. I've only been able to get a full chart on once. Freaking stock is $2 per sheet . . ...

I'm very anti-EFI in general, but EFI XF is actually a good product. Only took 15 years . . .

Thanks Cornish, I'll look into those. I've never used xrite software much, so good to hear it worked for you.

We're looking for software that will allow us to sample spot color matching (really any spectral reference if possible). We need to evaluate individual samples both on press and after, and ideally track over time. We also want to create shareable reports in both instances. Does anybody have...
