Well, you could always put on a tin foil hat and go completely off grid.

We’ve built our archive solution on Google Cloud Blob Storage, with a custom frontend and an SQL-based indexing system that registers jobs during upload. Our solution has been in production for around eight years and has proven to be very reliable, secure, and straightforward to maintain. Our...

The IT8 or similar charts should be printed only with the TVI compensation (no further manipulation). And if you have already linearized your plates/CTP it's NOT an issue.

But whatever you do, do not try to linearize it.

Yes, maybe someone from the Canva team could even join the Ghent Workgroup.

I have been doing some testing with Affinitys color management settings, and PDF export capabilities (PDF/X-4) and everything seems to be exported and embedded as expected. Embedded ICC-profiles are respected. There are some soft proof capabilties that are not as strong as in Adobe Indesign but...

~40 Creative Cloud Pro and ~ 20 Adobe Acrobat Pro. We are running 3 printing sites and a designer agency.

We’re spending around €50,000 a year on Adobe, so this is definitely something I plan to look into further.

Ok, this thread is about "Shape Nesting".

"True shape" nesting as well?

If you really need to connect with AFP to a Windows server you can use Acronis Files Connect (former ExtremeZ-IP) on the win server. Not sure if this will help your case though.

I’m guessing you’re comparing the file before and after rendering. During rendering, “CTP Calibration Curves” and “TVI Compensation Curves” are usually applied to ensure the printed result matches the chosen standard. This process adjusts the CMYK tone values, but it doesn’t indicate that...

I use AI for many tasks in my daily work. Especially when building workflows and integrations between frontends (web shops) and ERP/MIS. It's a really powerful tool! Building scripts for converting between various job ticket formats, JSON, XML, JDF, Excel etc. Building scripts for Indesign and...

"I want something cheap, reliable and with as high output quality as professional systems." Good luck!

You should maybe have a look at Techkons SpectroDrive solution.

Why the “One Curve Is Enough” Argument Misses the Mark I appreciate the effort behind the OP’s detailed explanation, but I believe the conclusion is flawed and based on an oversimplification of the realities in professional print production. While minimizing complexity is generally a good...

There’s nothing wrong with having multiple curves if they serve different purposes. Creating or updating TVI curves on-press is a far more time-consuming and costly task than re-linearizing a plate curve, it only takes about 20 minutes for one person to do the latter. Applying this approach to...

I forgot about a couple of more arguments for linearizing the CTP: A site has multiple CTPs, often different generations and sometimes even different fabrications. Then you want to align the CTPs to avoid variotions in print or multiple TVI curves, You upgrade or exchange your CTP system. If...

I have not experienced any issues with this in Apogee for instance. There is a special section for CTP linearization curves.

Alright. Since English isn’t my first language, I might be misunderstanding what you’re trying to convey. I’ve also trained a few colleagues on how to check plate consistency using the Techkon Spectro Plate. However, neither I nor those I’ve trained have the technical expertise to resolve...
