ICC Profiles used when converting RGB to CMYK, then one set of curves applied for G7 tonal curves, which are in some respect dot gain compensation curves, no separate linearizing step needed, CTP is stable, one set of curves for gloss, one for uncoated. Measured at press with i1 and PressSIGN...

It isn't closed loop, 28" Heidelberg, older Tobias scanning densitometer, and an i1 with pressSIGN for color and curves adjustment purposes. I suppose it probably would be more at startup and then stretch out over a longer run as things stabilize? Just trying to get an idea of what a ballpark...

How often should a sheet be pulled and scanned on a 4-color press running about 5000 an hour? What's a "normal" average? Just for density\color and TVI monitoring throughout the day? Does run length matter? Shorter runs get pulled more often? Longer runs less often? Thanks

I only tried twice and it stopped on the 50th one both times so I just went with 40 count groups from there. Was trying to do all 465 with those first 2 attempts. Did double check them all and found no issues with the pairing up.

Kyle, also wanted to ask, it's safe to assume that the content of the 2 files is safe right and any potential mixups that might happen would just be the wrong files getting merged? I can check the first and last pages pretty quick to verify but not everything in between. Thanks again.

Kyle, can't say thanks enough, man, you saved the day, or the week I should say! It worked just great, only issue was it wouldn't process more than 50 at a time, after first 2 tries and it stopping on 50, I just did them in groups of 40 and got the job done.

Thanks Stephen for the help, I used the "now a reality" one. Ok, so now I have all the single page ID PDFs named with the same datecode as the original book PDFs I want to append them to the end of. Book PDFs named "DUT65-1212 Investments BCM.pdf" and the ID PDFs as "DUT65-1212.pdf" Guess all...

Yes, appended, no way to tell by filename, but they are in list order, first book in list goes with 1, 2nd with 2, etc. I created the Id pdfs by exporting them from an InDesign data merge file. If I could have named those with the date name also I suppose that would have helped but don't know...

The book files are named with date codes like 65-1024.pdf and the ID pages are "ITL Id Title blocks_1.pdf", numbered 1-469.

Yes, very diverse, have 469 books, varying page counts, need to add a 1 page ID at end of each one, so we have 469 single page ID files. Yes OS X.

I'm not adding the same ID page to each file, I have 469 different ID pages. Each ID page goes to a specific file. I'll look at that option closer tomorrow, thanks.

I have 469 PDF text files that I need to add 1 ID page to the end of each file. I have 469 individual ID pages. Is there a way with Acrobat Pro DC to batch this? Or some other means to do it? Any input appreciated, Thanks

Doing that already for sure!

He says we get scratches if he does. Says it's not lack of spray powder but just too dry and too much static.

We're having tremendous problem trying to get sheets to feed into our folder. Humidity had got really low due to 2 weeks of single digit temps here, but it's coming up some now inside, with our humidifiers and some make shift measures running full time. Its a Stahl folder with the feed table...

I would say this isn't necessarily true. We have used processless plates that we can't accurately measure for the last 7 years. I only have a vague idea of where I'm starting from but I am reading the end result, the press sheet, and creating and adjusting tone curves from that info. It is...

Not sure if this would help you but looking at it quick, if you make a placeholder with 100 or 200 pages in it, however many you need, and drop the pages onto your sheet, arrange them as they need to be, it numbers them 1 front, 2 back, and so on, then save that as a template and your layout is...

Yes, it is rated to be capable of that, our rep says he knows of no one else in our area even using FM so I was really just curious if anyone out there has actually done this and made it work. I was more concerned with the plates cleaning up well on press with the smaller dots. Not whether it...

Does anyone here have any experience running FM or stochastic screening with the Ecomaxx plates? We run them on our web for text only, tried them on our Heideberg a few years back and had several issues, not all were plate related though, and are trying them again but since last time we have...

Ok, thanks. I did find a work around of sorts, if I export to Word from Acrobat, I can search for italic format and locate where it is that way. Even though fonts aren't right in our case it still locates italics for me without me having to scan every line visually for it.
