Graphic Packaging Closes Golden, Colorado Facility | Graphic Packaging, Golden, Colorado | Area Development Online Food and beverage industry companies have typically been protected against a lot of this economic downturn... Another "not a good sign". - Mac

My Matchprint Proofer $hit the bed last night, had to ghost the drive this AM. I'm trying to install the Kodak proofer controller software. Original DVD has ".install" file on it. Readme says refer to your "technet" article on how to install. Winblows doesn't know what to do when you...

Only Kodak could come up w/ a product that does this: OPI can't find an image, can't replace, job fails... Yet, it tells me it managed to find the spot color recipe embedded in the file, that it can't find to do replacement on! What a piece of ****??!?!?!!!!!!! How do you find the recipe in...

Had a discussion w/ the owner over the weekend about getting a slitter for BC's. It's been an issue here in back w/ the monkey's, as we do a lot of cards, and cutting them on the cutter takes a lot of time. Turns out the owner's under the impression that the guillotine cutter makes a cleaner...

So, obviously w/ digital jobs, we're not all shuffling palettes of paper around the floor w/ tow motors like in a traditional pressroom....(God bless you if you are!) What are folks using to move jobs around their shop (from printer to cutter to...) Most of the time we're able to stuff the...

I've been having trouble w/ Prinergy massaging my colors for me. Don't want it to. However, you can't do beans w/ the RIP w/o color-matching (which is where it's screwing w/ my colors!). Is there a way to have a refine profile that won't touch my colors? Just pass through what's there, don't...

Anyone using this? Forget who makes it (that company in Boston, right?) Sheesh.. Slow-brain day! Thanks. - Mac

Love these kinds of accounts... We win a job, customer sends us files, we send out proofs, customer returns proof, wants us to make it look more like the previous. Job has process builds of Reflex, 032-red, 109-yel, and a few other "impossible to hit w/ process" colors. Previous printer ran...

We're going to be looking at replacing the flooring in the basement of our home. Half of it is finished off into an office/hobby area for me ( I _had_ a large Saltwater Reef Aquarium).... :rolleyes: I'm currently not very impressed w/ the holding power of silicone, long-term.... Whelp... Long...

Anyone actually using it yet? What's all these "Digital Printing" tools they're crowing on about? Frankly, I didn't envision the Prinergy RIP entering into my digital-print workflow.... What value could possibly be added? Trap? LOL! What litho-based enhancements exist in the new version (I...

I suspect the RIP to my Matchrprint proofer is about to bite the farm (locking up frequently, something about a corrupt /system32/system file? :D ) ... Checked my original box (haven't since it was hooked up), got me Ghost CD's, so in a bind, I can get it back. BUT... what calibration files...

Wondering if anyone's ever created their own Security Tint graphic for printing inside of (converted) envelopes? We've got a large customer we're going to convert a bunch for, and was looking around for our own security tint graphic (just looks like a 20 lpi 1st order FM Screen if you ask me...

... Occasionally I get these "hairlines" of color in the spine, when imposing jobs in Prep's. Sometimes it's only in the PDF, sometimes it proofs, sometimes it doesn't. It looks like it's literally a pixel or two wide. Long story short, it appears to be a bleed/cropping thing, as the "image"...

Any try the Kodak-Specific plug-ins w/ CS4 yet? Just got my copy of Adobe's latest regurgitation last week. Thanks. - Mac

OK, obviously a loaded question, and there's a million if's... But we've been toying w/ the digital print thing for a spell, put a cheap Xerox Workcenter thing on the floor 6 months ago.... and it's been as expected. Customer #1 just banged us w/ a whole bunch of stuff, all looks like a good...

What's your favorite, and more importantly, WHY? I've worked w/ everything from Custom written Oracle Apps, to POS Winblows programs that cost a couple grand, and barely work. Mid-sized printing company, under $10 million in sales, but looking for a program that can scale/grow with us. Thanks...

Quick question for those w/ Prinergy Experience - I've got a new EVO install, and the way the software re-names my input PDF's is infuriating! Anything more than a dozen characters (my job# is 6 digits!!!), and my filename half the time gets munged into something completely worthless...

What's everyone using to Backup their X-serves? DLT, AIT, LTO? I've experience w/ FC Changers, but not sure what the popular stand-alone solutions are, and what's the best software to run (Retrospect seems so..... 90's, LOL!). FireWire LTO drive and Retrospect? Thanks. - Mac

OK, new to Preps, and I haven't figured out this little ditty yet... I use Smart Mark --> Text Mark to put my job slug info into the gripper. Choose Roman text, whatever point size fits... Sometimes I'll run it up the side of the sheet vertically if there is a lot of room... Whenever I place...

We're due to get a new Kodak Matchprint proofing System any day now, based on the Epson 9800 Print Engine. I'm trying to figure out the 'per proof' cost based on the new consumables, and have always been perplexed by the best way to figure out the cost of the ink. Paper's easy...
