We're about to do the same. Speaking to a finishing friend of mine he suggested building up an inventory by buying second-hand on Ebay. This allows you to build it up at much lower cost, and once you find what areas you're working in you can go out and buy new. Incidentally, why did you go...

Thanks to all for the input so far. I suppose I'm referring more to drying than scuff/rub. The ink on the sheet feels tacky and is very susceptible to marking and setting off under the guillotine clamp. At the same time though even when dry to touch it's prone to scuffing on post processes...

Hi all, Increasingly it seems we're being required to produce everything with lower than ever turnaround times - I'm sure everyone knows the feeling - and, more and more, that includes uncoated stocks. The question is how to reduce drying times with our regular setup? We've been using...

27" iMac Intel i5 + 10.6.6 I mount a SMB server volume and it mounts very quickly and is perfectly fine. But every subsequent volume I mount from the same server takes up to a minute to mount. It happens as guest and as authenticated user, and whether or not the password has been saved in the...

Re: Preps 5.3 on Snow Leopard Re: Preps 5.3 on Snow Leopard That's very interesting information. I think I'll install 5.3.1 and if it give no problems will leave it there!

I'm about to upgrade our old Macs to iMacs running 10.6 Snow Leopard. Does anyone know of any issues with Preps 5.3 and Mac OS 10.6?

Thanks for all the responses so far. I'm not too worried about expansion. We've always maxed out our Power Macs in the past so they're as futureproof as poss from the start and that's always served us well. The display & calibration question seems to be more of a tricky one though. Some...

Hi all, I need to replace our pair of very old Macs as they’re really struggling now. It would help my case for funds greatly if I didn’t need to go for Mac Pros. I’m seeing Imacs more and more in prepress installations and I’m thinking of going for them instead. We’re doing very little in...

Thanks for clearing the coinfusion up. It makes more sense now. is Azura-V silver or polymer based, and what's the post imaging process? And what's the intended release date? As my lack of knowledge suggests it's been very quiet over here on that front, is it intended to roll the plate out...

Lap-v Lap-v Good to read you Steve...it's been a while! It's good to see LAP-V is alive and well, after seeing it at a very tightly controlled demo at IPEX a few years back it appeared to die a death. I'd heard Agfa were struggling with it in terms of stability and that they could only...

If the Prosetter images the LP-NV then it will image the Pro-V. Best speak to Fuji

Might as well assume they will be higher than chemical violet, chemical thermal and chemical free thermal*. Reasons: Recover R&D costs - agree Recover new manufacturing technique implementation costs - agree Cover lost profits from chemical sales - agree *Faster exposure - don't agree...

Fujifilm Pro-V Fujifilm Pro-V Fuji are about to go live in the UK (probably elsewhere too) with the Pro-V, their chemistry-free equivalent to the very successful LP-NV polymer plate. It has the same sensitivity as LP-NV so will work with existing CTP units, and the image quality, run length...

This sounds vaguely familiar, I'm sure we had something like this a while back. the engineer came in and did what he needed to do and fixed the problem but the GMG calibration procedure just wouldn't work. In the end it came to the fact that although the work and printer recalibration had been...

Re: Rampage -DRUPA no show! Mark, I'm not sure if the plan is to sell XMF in the US but IMO I reckon they may well do so. Despite what Tim Combs says in that article about XMF being developed to replace Celebra (the same has been said over here), unlike Celebra which was only entry-level, XMF...

Re: Rampage -DRUPA no show! Fuji is close with Screen for its hardware, not workflow. Fuji has developed XMF as its primary workflow, this tells you they're moving away from selling a third-party product so I can't see them taking on Trueflow.

Re: Rampage -DRUPA no show! I don't know what happens elsewhere in the world but at European shows I believe the task of promoting Rampage is down to Fuji. I didn't get to Drupa this year but I'll be very interested to know how much exposure - if any - Fuji gave to Rampage. Since its...

Re: Good scanner? The V750 Pro was reviewed by Print Week two years ago here in the UK and touted as a possible competitor to the heavyweights: [http://www.printweek.com/news/652126/Epson-Perfection-V750-Pro/] They put it down as a "good all-rounder with a film capability that's acceptable for...

Re: Rampage Remote AImee, What exactly is Print Direct? Colin

Re: Alternatives to PDF-JPEG, NORM workflow and life in general... Hear hear, John! So come on everyone, how about some brain storming...how can we give the client the proofs they want without compromising ourselves???? Colin
