Lately I have heard more about profile white point adjustment in regards to "G7". I am interested to know how and when anyone is using this procedure. Anyone care to share?

After upgrading to the 6800 we have a color shift on jobs that were previously ran before the upgrade. We realize that the 6600 used a densitometer set to status G and the 6800 uses a spectro set to status T during calibration. However we feel that color after upgrade ought not be different then...

Continuation of my previous Preflight Thread - Once again thanks to Stephen for discovering that stroked type will only trigger if PDF was made via Distiller, not via Adobe products. Fine, however a PS or EPS distilled loses transparency, another item I would like to be caught in Preflight...

I am attempting to identify text that is either stroked, filled and stroked or just filled with more than one color using Acrobat Preflight. I have attached screens shots of two custom checks I have created. The one labeled Will Identify finds type that is either just filled or filled and...

Greetings, We use the Esko front end to drive our HP 6600. This front end uses the Pantone Plus digital file to convert PMS colors to various percentages of CMYKOVG. When checking the Lab values for colors in our file against the Pantone Plus digital file that our ink company uses there are...

Greetings, Quick search did not find anything on this. I have a customer that wants to create proofs on an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 that will match our presses, such I presently do using my CGS rip and Epson 4800. I have heard of people creating color managed proofs via Photoshop but have no...

We are running a poly substrate on a flexo press. Raw measurement data analyzed in ColorAnt indicates gain at 2% (1.96% in report) to be 22 - 24%. Press target was IT8.7-4. After I make a profile, using iProfiler, I check the gain at 2% in ColorThink and it indicates it is around 7%. When I...

With the front end to our digital press I have the Pantone Book and Pantone+ Book in digital form. I noticed that the same color in each book has a different Lab value. Here is an example of 3 such colors with their Lab values. The first set of Lab values is from the Pantone+ Book and the...

Greetings, I am interested in making a CMY profile. In either iProfiler or MeasureTool I see not way to limit my target / chart to only CMY. I have the measurement data that I used to make a CMYK profile. I noticed in iProfiler if I use that same measurement data and set the Maximum black...

We have the opportunity to purchase a 2005 Nex 2100 press and know very little about it. Anyone care to comment on this press. Is it still supported by Kodak? Are consumables priced fairly? Is a press this old still of value? And any other feedback. Thanks.

I know that Tuner 5.5 is a no longer supported product, but has anyone been able to use iProfiler profiles with color match in Tuner. I have tried different profile settings, with no success. Tuner crashes during write back portion after first dat table iteration (before printing first iteration...

Anyone done any testing to see if the difference between (8bit) small, medium and large profiles makes a difference in profiles for printing (litho, flexo, digital etc). I see the volumes are about the same, but the grid points are different and the file sizes are significantly different, small...

Anyone have a solution to proof shrink film including white ink? Epson 7900WT maybe, or?

I have attached a PDF that further describes my dilemma. I could find no way, other to rip this to film (yes we still use film) to see how the gradient was affected when overlayed by the transparent image. We are a Prinergy shop and use TIFF Assembler Plus to check ripped files before sending...

I run P2P qualifications on flexo presses and our new HP digital 6600 press. I can get the solid CMYK to meet the specs of ISO 12647-2, but quite often my overprints are out of spec. Not all of them sometimes just 1, sometime 2. CMY is the one that is the most trouble. What tool does one use to...

Has anyone seen a letter indicating patent infringement regarding patents 6,611,349 and 6,738,155 dealing with CTP? These seem to cover prepress functions done day and and day out by thousands (or more?) prepress departments / printers. Did not know that the workflow defined in these two...

Note: I will be cross posting this to the Digital Forum and the Esko forum. I have had some challenges with our HP 6600 using the Esko front end in regards to matching GRACol and exploiting 7 color conversions from RGB files. I submit this PDF file of my attempts for comments / suggestions...

Greetings, Need suggestions on what plug ins can be added to Photoshop that will allow me to convert from an RGB image to my 7 color HP profile (CMYKOVG). I need to do this conversion before I submit an file to our HP 6600 via an Esko created Color Strategy. -Bill-
