    Nutritional Label FDA 2016 format question

    We are a packaging converter with clients who need to update their nutritional panels to follow the 2016 FDA format. Searching the FDA site I can only find the panel artwork in a "portrait" format. We have many packages where the previous label was done as a "landscape" format to better fit on...

    Printing LEN files to a Kodak Approval

    As we are avid users of Samba dots we like to use LEN files to proof our work on the Approval, rather than just printing over the PackEdge file via a Ticket. The LEN file approach skips any DGC on the way to the Kodak and therefore the Samba dots are displayed very accurately on the Kodak. This...

    Creating 'bleed' in Photoshop

    I need to add bleed out beyond my clipping path, so that when i 'trap' in ESKO there will actually be image for the trap to occur. Previously I have used a fine Photoshop plugin called AutoBleed, that seamlessly cloned image beyond your path. Alas, AutoBleed runs only under Classic mode. Can...

    Flexo: Removing 1% dots in Photoshop

    We frequently have need to deal with 1% dots in Photoshop images, when preparing the images for flexo printing. In our workflow 2% dots print just fine, but 1% dots can 'dirty-up' on the printing and end up looking far darker and nastier than a 2% dot. (This is most often a problem with the...
