As I had to remove the code from my blog to stop Google taking the site down, here are the two scripts: var CSV = function(data) { var _data = data.split('\r'); for(var i in _data) { if(_data[i].length > 0) { console.println(i + ' ' + _data[i]); _data[i] =...

A bit late to the party, however, the following may be useful: Splitting PDF Files to Variable File Names Splitting PDF File Names from a .CSV Source

I know that CGS ORIS Color Tuner can do progressive proofs. Do you certify your proofs? Always check that the RIP supports the printer model that you are considering, this isn't always a given and different RIPs may support more or less features for a given printer. Consider the inkset, if you...

If you have a print management system, it should be pretty easy to run a report for this for a given time frame (at least that is my expectation from the Accura Print MIS).

Do you know your costs? Do you know what the market rates are? Where do you sit in the market, being a "county in-plant" and how does this potentially change things?

In many cases they don't want to be held responsible for gamut mapping, forcing this back to the supplier of the file so that they are aware of and are responsible for any saturation and or hue shifts. Edit: Forgot to mention, it is rare in my experience that a digital press is set up as a...

Other options that seems popular: monday.com pricing and plans Trello Pricing However, I'm skeptical if any sofware will allow "my day go as planned rather than being interrupted".

I guess it depends on how dry the turd is! EDIT: Mythbusters Polishing a Turd - YouTube It appears that I was thinking about it the wrong way! Stephen Marsh

It was pointed out on the B4Print forum that it is not really possible to polish a turd, however it is possible to roll it in glitter! Seriously though, at one point in time there was a push to change the title to Premedia. Stephen Marsh

I remember back on the classic Mac OS we'd use Fetch to FTP files to avoid platform related transfer issues with other protocols. Ah, the good old spinning dogcow used to make me smile! Stephen Marsh

There are other models out there, such as live bi-directional integration between the MIS and Web to Print developed by a single vendor – with an optional fully integrated API to Aleyant eDocBuilder, which is the “back end” used in Pressero to create PDF artwork. (disclosure, I work in...

I can’t reproduce with Illustator CC2018 and Illustrator CS6... A stroked path is retained. So perhaps something with CC2019? Stephen Marsh

AFAIK PitStop has no options for “fine” typographic control… Short of splitting the text line/word into individual characters and nudging them into place. Stephen Marsh

You will really need to get the gain/TVI correct if doing this in Photoshop, lightening the shadows more so than the highlights. I’d go with a proper first or second order RIP algorithm over Photoshop if given the choice. Stephen Marsh

Although not free ($499), the following may be worth a look (previously developed by Tucanna): https://www.aleyant.com/page/aleyant-qualitycontrol X-Rite i1Profiler software is “free” to create and measure charts, even a minimal single or two patch spot chart (it replaces the old ColorPort for...

Kodak TAP - TIFF Assembler Plus can do this from TIFF/LEN files via a hotfolder and or attempt to descreen to create a contone composite image and do many other things… It comes as standard with Flexcel NX, however I believe that it also be purchased separately however it would be pricey and an...

I’ll start the vendor frenzy! http://accuramis.com Stephen Marsh

Start by looking at the measurement data. What condition is it: M0, M1 or M2? What is the L*a*b* value of the media? Look into your colour management settings, perhaps there is an incorrect setup. Have you successfully created profiles with the same setup for other media? Stephen Marsh

Webs (rolls, reels) come in a “master” or “parent” or “mill” width that may be larger than a narrow web label press can handle. You are purchasing the entire web/reel/roll, however the paper supplier will cut this down into whatever sizes you need. In this case the master size is 60" wide, with...
