That´s the thing, you don´t end up with a negative image, as that is controlled by the RIP settings, if the RIP is set to positive you get a positive image on plate regardless on how you set the plate type setting in XPO, as far as I can figure out setting positive in XPO don´t have that large...

Yesterday I was at a customer and faced a coundrum that had me scratching my head like a monkey trying to figure out a typewriter. We were testing in the Sonora X The problem is that in the specs the energy required to image this plate is in Mj/cm2 or milijoule per square centemeter, that...

Carefull, PGY can generate 1 bit tiffs but depending on whether connect or evo you may require a license.

IF, and it´s a big if, you can hold a letter or an e-mail in your hand and go to the lawyers there maybe a very slim chance to sue. Depends on where in the world you are. Personally I doubt it is constructive to sue a potential employer and (at least in my case) they will always make sure that...

Ufff! In that case perhaps a profile issue, maybe try a different one and see if it changes.

I joined Esko also in my 40ties (early 40ties) and enjoyed eight years of 2nd level support, right up until the platedrivers became obsolete. I tried to stay in the company, especially as I was offered a contract as Artwork tech out of Daytona and stationed in south America. But after going back...

Very interesting, it´s a bit hard to tell as it looks raised or embossed, is it Flexo?

Europe still has a lot of mom & pop shops working out of a garage but they are dying at an extinction event level because they can no longer compete, the middle sized companies are still hanging on by the skin of their fore while complianing about rising costs. Investments are way down and that...

Wierd stuff, European print buyers look to the eastern parts of Europe because they complain that print in the western part of the EU is too expensive. It has brought out a great print scene in Poland and the Czechoslovak repubic and Ukraine. But now buyers are complaining that print from there...

Am I remembering correctly that the blackest black in printing was to print solid black on solid cyan?

None, it´s a standalone preps, I know that prinergy can do it the way the customer wants. But it´s the old problem... "It worked before you updated from Preps 5 to preps 8.

Hi, has anybody knowledge on dynamic colorbars in Preps? Specifically how to map job spot colors so that they show in the colorbar? I would drink a beer in Munich´s Hofbräuhaus in your honor if you can tell me how.

If memory serves, as it frequently doesn´t these days. DD was or is used to give pictures with a low bit depth the illusion of a higher bit depth via interpolation. Compaired to FM screen DD comes over as a bit clunky, maybe the Printplanets brothels and cisterns can confirm.

Fourth vote for Prinergy, maybe think twice about Connect and if EVO would not suffice.

Found it, the migrations tool needs access to the preps exe of both versions and it has to be on one computer. Tricky in this case but it works.

You are thinking waaaaay too modern, the (old) program it´s self is called "Preps ganging" seems to be a predecessor of the Preps we all know and love, or hate depending on your mood.

I found that with the pdf just an hour ago and have been kicking myself since, DUH! I actually should have known that but I am not a regular preps user so I forgot about it. I tried the migration utility but could not get it to work with preps ganging.

Seriously? In my experience Esko is one of the most ageist companies on the block, right up to former colleagues telling me that they were sent out to the glue factory because they hit the magical 45 mark.

Getting a little frustrated with preps and wanted to ask if anybody can help... A customer has just upgraded from Preps Ganging 5.XXX to Preps 8 and is using a home grown color bar. Now I can load the bar as it is a .eps but it shows only as a black stripe, all other bars are ok, what little...

Growing meat in a vat is rather simple, its scalable and with the right political backing it could well be a vaiable way of feeding billions of people and the technology to do so has been around since the fifties. Thing is you would be eating what is in effect a cancer and that is a hard sell...
