If you're seriously looking give these guys a call. Les Zmyslowski at Viprofix is the man. Used Prepress Equipment | Used CTP, Platesetters, Imagesetters Prepress Equipment & Parts | Platesetters | Imagesetters | Bob Weber

To be honest, if your plate volume is low enough to consider this you're probably better off to outsource plate production to a third party. I have quite a bit of experience with polyester plates both toner and laser imaged. Toner imaged polyester plates are terrible and I recommend you stay a...

From Espon: I couldn't find anything this specific about the HDR series (that refers to the previous K3 series). Below is what I could find about HDR. Epson Advanced Photographic Printer | Epson Stylus Pro 4900 Click on Detailed Specs. I have some prints from an Epson9900 and 9800 in my...

Not sure if joking or think broadcast delay enables time travel

I believe that is to prevent us from the horror of hearing a swear word or seeing an areola (Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

There is no magic bullet to average everything else and get one set of curves to rule them all. Even if your press is completely laboratory grade vacuum sealed stable ink distribution across the press sheet is going to be the limiting factor. You can have many sets of curves and use the curve...

I'm guessing the font is not embedded or is reflowing. Open the Ai file and convert all text to outlines: Select > All. Type > Create Outlines. Then try again in InDesign. I'm willing to look at your original file(s) if you can provide them.

Also if the Mac cannot connect it could be incompatible SMB protocols. Try connecting to the server via CIFS (old SMB protocol).

Windows file shares are SMB shares. Anything shared on Windows via Windows (i.e. not a third party software a la Dropbox, GoogleDrive, etc.) is being shared via SMB. Are you having connectivity issues connecting from a Mac? Or just file write issues? It sounds like a permissions problem to me at...

Wow. A lot of moving pieces. I will say up-front what you want to do is possible but very ambitious. The saying "walk before you run" should be considered earnestly. Your scope might be too broad and you may be considering redundant software solutions. I see from your profile that you are IT...

Hassan, I'm not sure that I understand what the problem is. Can you attempt to better explain it? Maybe draw a circle on the "blue box" in picture 4?

Gordo, I completely agree with you and I've built profiles for all three scenarios over the years. What I think your list is missing is a company target. I've been advocating this for some time now. I work in folding cartons and most of our paperboards exceed SWOP white point by a large measure...

Half of the amount you stated is the going rate for a calibration service (2 days) by that large Japanese company. I'm guessing that the rest is software and hardware and related contracts. I do not really advocate/support their ColorPath product and if I were you I'd go with Oris Certified Web...

I'm guessing VersaCAMM VSi? When I was pitched on this product it was explained to me that I had to print on transfer material and then laminate it to the substrate just like my FinalProof.

There are no legitimate machines out there that can do the same thing or even honestly call themselves competitive. I find this distressing because there are constant rumors that both the Kodak Approval and Fujifilm FinalProof are going to be given EOL designation any day now. I am in the same...

While I agree with both of you on a technical and conceptual level ... take a walk in someone's shoes working in the trenches preparing files some day...

Dov, I see that tobiv has already clarified (quoted below). I don't know anyone in a serious prepress department with PDF workflow who is not a heavy Pitstop Pro user. It was a gift from heaven when I first acquired it. In my humble opinion the feature set of Pitstop Pro should really just be...

Embedded fonts with subsetting can be a real pain if someone wants to make a "quick edit". For the uninformed subsetting means the font that is embedded only contains the characters used. For example if you have a the word "they'e" and you didn't use an "r" in that font anywhere else it is...

Not sure how many of you are aware of this but there are some incredibly good things available: https://creative.adobe.com/addons You'll need to check for version compatibilities and make sure that you have the Adobe Extension Manager installed.
