ASSUMING you have a colour calibrated working environment including your monitors and ambient lighting/viewing conditions, a "pre press person" should know how to use and understand the Adobe Color Settings and ensure they are synchronised across all applications. While they may not be...

You could always offer to print their job on an EPSON printer to get the same colours they are getting. Just explain to them that they'll have to wait until after Xmas if they want a run of 10,000 or more :rolleyes:. You could add a revised quote as well.

Stephen, yes, it is me, Mark. We have to stop meeting like this. Knowing you to be a very meticulous person I assume you were measuring a NEW swatch book. Being a 1st Edition this must have been some time ago as I am sure you are aware that measuring an old swatch book is fraught with danger...

I have been following this very informative thread for some time. I haven't had the time to read all of the posts or to confirm what I am about to offer so forgive me if it has been said already. I have the 3rd Edition of the Pantone Color Bridge swatch books in front of me in which the...

Yes, but it also depends on the Rendering Intent and the gamut of the printer/paper/ink combination. If you're doing 'pretty pictures' Perceptual is appropriate. This is the recommended option for printing photographs for end use as the gamuts are mapped to each other 'proportionately' and...

Stephen, I take your point but there is another way of looking at this. I don't work for Adobe but if I did I would be looking at ways to sustain my business model into the future and this is what the subscription model is trying to do - ensure a steady income on which to continue to develop...

Dan, If you want to look further into this subject you can trawl through the mountain of information on one or all of these sites. They are probably three of the most reputable sources of information on image permanence. Epson references Wilhelm-research on their website. The Aardenburg-imaging...

I have several installed. Too easy.

OOPS! That should have been top-right quadrant slightly removed. It's also worth noting that, once you download the settings file from the link Chavlier has sent you, you have to load them into a folder where the applications can 'see' them. The IDEAlliance instructions provide one way of doing...

If you choose your Color Settings in Bridge that will ensure ALL your the settings are synchronised in ALL Adobe applications. You will know if this is in effect if the 'pie' chart in the top-left corner of the Color Settings dialogue is complete (synchronised) or has top-left quadrant slightly...

Dan, I see you use Prinergy. Prinergy is a product developed by Creo. Where are they now? Does Prinergy still work? Do you still have a service agreement with any of your suppliers? Do you look to Kodak for to support Prinergy? Does it ever have an upgrade? Which manufacturer of printing...

To me this article is just another hollow 'rant' like so many others. The comments to this article only go to support my contribution here and reinforce the point about functionality. CC 'pings' Adobe once a month for monthly subscribers and every 99 days for annual subscribers. This means that...

I'm not sure what the problem was exactly. I don't know why you would lose a day of production. Why did you need to log in to CC? My understanding is that you don't even have to be connected to use any of the applications. You will lose all of the syncing services and activation is suspended but...

It is my experience that the Apple monitors are less than ideal in this respect. The banding effect was most obvious when the 'Flurry' screen saver was available. Strangely, it has been eliminated from the latest version of the OS ;-). I am using a 1Tb fusion drive Mac Mini with 16gb RAM (Max)...

I assume you are preserving the original file and saving a copy of the 'updated' version. If you are editing and returning files then you should be charging for this service. If you are just printing the files why aren't you getting your clients to supply CMYK PDF files?
