funny I have had the exact opposite with Illustrator. if a PC font comes my way or a problem font dump it into the folder and restart app. POW fixed ;) Also if I remember right adobe products look in app font folder first then system.

as much as you can afford :)

yes that is what I am finding. Managers well are all family and they trust the pressman I think a little too much. Production manager comes from a color house has never run or managed a press before. In the last few weeks I finally got through to them that its not the imaging of the plates...

solid density. I have not seen doubling in a while- though it has been an issue in the past. Part of the issue where I have touched on is that they have not worked to consistently develop the ecomaxx plates. One of many consistency issues

how do you do that when its never the same gain? Thats what I dont understand. how can I read the dot make a curve and the next similar job will need a new curve. Its not consistent on the same press let alone between the presses. WHat I have been told is that the presses have to have some sort...

heck I make a folder in indesign directory called FONTS and put any problem fonts in there

All we can do right now is manually curve. We do not have any software that we can read press sheets or curve. So everyhting here is done by just eye and density. I just recently put trapping and 50% screens into the color bars. For years I have had to deal with Production managers/pressman...

All I have is linear. I am pushing for color management/control software. But it makes no sense to do all that and curve when they cannot put out a consistent dot. On similar coated sheets we have swings at the 50% dot to 80% dot to 49% dot. How can you curve when the presses are swinging that...

update I redid my cal and now all patches are within 1% most are dead on. Presses still are swinging wildly in dot gain.

Not totally sure about Preps but window7 32 vs 64 bit can be an issue for older apps.

As per your suggestion we plan to do another verificaiton (test) run with the ink sales Rep here with all his gadgets to check his ink. thanks!

update Just talked to the pressman- said M ink was too tacky and has been for a while. That explains the trapping issue with the C

yes standard ink rotation. KCMY and remember the 100%M when held up to our G7 Cert proof the Magenta Looks darker. And I did plug in the L A B value into photoshop and it looks to have the same kind of difference to the photoshop 100M. ( yes I know its a monitor but when you see the same kind of...

thanks, here is what the report showed as per the color management person we use for out G7 cert: Magenta ink too reddish, not bluish enough 100% CM overprint too reddish The magenta density isn't too high--it's actually slightly lighter than spec--but wrong color. You should check the ink for...

yes we did a test run Friday. And there was an obvious issue with the Magenta. It looked like the density was way up and slightly Rubine. Pressman said he rand 140 on the Magenta which is about where he normally runs. I took the lab values and input them in photoshop compared to 100%M and it...

Has anyone notice that the process magenta from GWE is a little dark?

we preflight almost every job pdf or native. We put the time down on what needs to be fixed if anything and time it needs to be taken. Saves a lot of headaches and confusion. And we charge the customer if they cannot provide print ready files either native or pdf. Of corse that does change...

10.6 right now also. Issue is we might be upgrading workstations to the new PowerMacs.. who knows what will happen then

I ruptured a disc ( left sciatic nerve) in may. I was riding the local trails on my dirt bike when some tool riding to fast hit me and the accident ended up doing the damage. This sucks all I have now is work ( yes I work instead of sitting around at home) and computer and sleep. All I have...

We have tried. Never get a call back. This is the last ditch effort.
