Thank you. Here is a link to a Fourier Transform Photoshop Plug-in (free-pay-as-you-want) to go with this. FFT is very useful for removing moire when unavoidable. But be careful - the math can damage your view of reality. YMMV

Those kinds of jobs were the most fun we had. :ROFLMAO:

But the question was 'how to create an individual press profile that will be utilized across multiple presses at different facilities?' and your response says fingerprint. You assume ALL the presses are calibrated. The poster says "Would you just run up a characterization on one press and roll...

And 'we' all believed them.

How many of us had a 'digital vendor salesman' take note our larger customers and then try to sell them machines?

Wow Gordo. Something I never had occasion to do - or attempt. Will add to the arsenal . . . :cool:

Do NOT average - that leaves no stability in the results as any one machine will effect all the others. If it is IMPOSSIBLE to fingerprint individual machines and/or implement different profiles at proof/output stage THEN you could, conceivably, use the same profile for all. I firmly believe...

Me thinks not an answer to the question.

LoL - Best to pepper the blogs, trade press etc. with relevant negative comments to keep people from buying ADDITIONAL NEW BOAT ANCHORS. Sigh. R2R would take maybe a decade or more to litigate IF it existed. The lawyers are the only ones who make money. Not cynical. Just practical. Caveat...

Thanks Gordo! An early 'type' of drum scanner WITHOUT any of the nice network, storage mediums, or computer assembly. EVERYTHING was manual. And the MATH to manage the machine adjustments/settings would have been manual as well. And I thought scanner operators of the 1990's had a hard job. Just WOW.

No idea.

The technical notes must be interesting. Manual screening was/is an art. What kind of scanner was used? And then a filter set-up for the colors? Was the original a print or negative?

Wow! Thanks!

If you have Acrobat PRO there are SOME built in page description scripts. May not be useful in this case. Ah yes, Canva files for print shops - would we prefer Microsoft Publisher? LOL

No to the Xanté Illumina IQueue software. Same hardware EXCEPT for the logic board. Yes to the Command Workstation. YMMV.

Laser. How long since last service? Probably dirty lense. YMMV.

This. Oh to be a fly on the wall with the ability to call down lightning bolts on superiors. Sigh. And I have BEEN the superior who fought to get the relevant employee recognized - and then looked down on by MY superiors. Heavy sigh.

Nothing says success like excellent customer service. (SNARK) TBF mailing software and hardware has had a heck of a ride this last decade.

My guess is a PAPER settings / catalog change. :)

Reminds me of the dot com bubble period. Many vendors trying to find the route to successful sales and quality software. Be thorough in your research and TRY to get a product which allows some good way access to your data AFTER you leave the product or the company ends the life of the product...
