Hi, I would like to hear feedback about proofing on the Epson Sure Color P9000. Where thinking about replacing our Epson 9800 and wondering if we should stick to a refurbished Epson 9900 (we have 3 already) or go with the new Epson P9000. Our proofing rip is compatible with the latest...

Hi, I'm trying to build a simple workflow / ticket where a multipage PDF would get in and get out as an imposed flat PDF. My goal is to understand how to build that basic workflow (and expand it from that by adding Viewer, proofer, and 1 bit screening tasks) for educational purpose. We currently...

Hi, we've updated to InDesign CC 2017 and since then, we've had numerous lagging issues when using the application. Platform is Mac OS Sierra, computers are 1 year-old iMacs with 8 Gb of RAM. Lagging (with Apple's beachball turning) occur intermittently, clicking menus, saving or just staring at...

Had a discussion today with someone about film use in this computer-to-plate age. Are there still offset printers (or other printing process) using films to burn plates? Are there still applications or printing process requiring film use?

Hi, we are currently using ColorBurst Overdrive rip to print RGB images to 3 Epson 4880 printers using Epson Standard proofing paper 240 (Gracol) that were each properly profiled with i1Profiler. While the result is great when printing RGB files, when printing CMYK files, images or PDFs, I'm not...

Hi, I just noticed that even though both of these profiles from IDEAlliance are labeled as "CRPC3 v2", these 2 profiles are slightly different. Anyone else noticed? Am I missing something?

Hi, I was wondering why does the left maintenance tank on the Epson 9900 doesn't fill in as fast as the right one. Is it based on the printing mode (unidirectional or bidirectional) or some other factors? The Epson manual just explains "On the Epson Stylus Pro 9900, the right tank is used more...

Hi everyone, is anyone using DeskPack tools for Illustrator? I can't get it to flag placed or embedded RGB images in Illustrator when using the Validator even if I made sure this was checked in the image tab of the preflight parameters. I tried various image file formats, saved, quit...

Hi everyone, I'm new at Esko workflow and I'm basically trying to build a ticket where: 1- user will be able to select screening parameters (line screen and dot shape) when dropping a PDF to the shuttle 2- a positive .len file (retaining user selected screen parameters) will be created for...

Hi, we use Page Optimize for combo jobs and most of the time, we can only allow for 1/16" bleed for all the combo pieces on the imposition. The actual Page Optimize gutter marks are only built for 1/8" bleed, is there a way to get gutter marks for 1/16" bleed? Right now we use the supplied...

Hi, the small (but busy) print shop I work at uses all the following steps to produce CIP3 files for it's 40" Komori press. I wonder if it can be simplified. Here are the steps: Step 1: Produce 50 dpi TIFF from our TrueFlow system Step 2: On Mac OS, use ProofIt to convert step 1 Tiff files to...

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me locate the Trueflow mac client. It was installed already but I need to install it on another mac. I checked on the Trueflow installation discs but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Hi guys, I just started working for a small but busy print shop. I will mostly be involved with the prepress department. They have a Screen Trueflow workflow and use Flat Worker and Page Optimize for imposition. Can you please recommend any generic white papers or ressources on imposition...

I everyone, just wondering if anyone has had issues/unexpected results when opening an InDesign CS6 .idml file (Mac OS) in InDesign CS 5.5, I need to convince management this is a pretty scary way of working so horror stories are welcome.

Hi, I just produced a simple 37 inches wide X 55 inches high file for some OOH advertising. File consists of one flat CMYK tiff image using the whole layout area, with 2 InDesign text boxes (each of them has 2-3 words) on top of it. Printer requires Print optimized PDF (I usually supply PDFX/1a...

Hi, I was having a discussion where I suggested our Studio people to implement the use of detailed Photoshop history logs saved as metadata inside the file. I find it to be a great tool to track changes made to an image since, in our regular workflow, different people can make changes to a...

We have a Latran Prediction 2230 complete system (imager, rip+computer, monitor, lamination unit but no lamination material, vaccum unit, cables, books, CDs) we need to get rid of since it's been collecting dust for a while now. Not demanding any $$$ for this, all you would have to do is...

Hi, I have a very simple InDesign document. Bottom layer has a K only radial gradient fill, middle layer has a lozenge shaped cyan+black gradient fill and top layer is a rectangle shape (die) with fill of none and stroke of spot overprinting. Now if I export to default PDFX/1a preset...

I've been testing a Pitstop Action (using Pitstop Pro 9) to detect if any elements in a PDF is above 240% total ink. It does work but also flags "hidden" items in the PDF. Let say I have a small box built with 100c 100m 60k (260 total ink) and I place a bigger 100c box on top of it...
