Hi all, I apologize if this topic has been discussed previously, but due to a deficiency in this bulletin board software, it won't find 2 letter words like 'UV'. So, can anyone go over the pros and cons of hybrid UV vs. conventional printing vs. regular UV. many thanks, Roger

Hi Everyone, Are there any real disadvantages to running a linear, prescreened 175L color bar (vs. one screened and curved with the live work) other than the fact that it's not EXACTLY representative of the live work that's printing at 20 micron stochastic. Also, does anyone have experience...

Hi, Does anyone have a poster file or some sort of reference document detailing each JDF folding code including a nice diagram showing what they really are? From the JDF specification document, I can get the up/up/down codes for them, but no diagram of what the finished piece looks like. And...
