    Actually, this is true. Heidelberg co programed Prinergy with Creo. The trapping engine was one of the many programs that were Heidelberg’s. Creo ended up buying Scitex, which was a direct competitor of Heidelberg Prepress. The joint venture was dissolved and Heidelberg started to work on a new...

    Remembering 9/11

    Gordo, I had a private demo with a client at the Heidelberg booth prior to the show opening. I showered, had coffee, did not have the tv on and hopped a cab to McCormick Place. Once there, I was going up the escalator and noticed there was about 30 people surrounding the kiosk with CNN on. I...

    Register compensation in Prepress

    Hi Gordon, the sizing is based on the target registration based on several tests. This actually brings the final results into registration.

    Who do you think makes a good plate?

    Hi Apphoard, I believe the laser in the FL52 is 1064 nm (nanometer) thermal. You should verify if it is. If this is the case, you need a plate that is made for 1064 nm. Agfa made one a long time ago when they sold the 1064 nm Galileo CtP. But they stopped making both. I think just about every...
