Hello Kiran, I took a look at your website and it is apparent that there in Dubai, you are a high-quality offset printer. You have a KBA 105 and presses don't come much better than that! It seems your digital offering should at least be able to match the expectations of your high-quality offset...

Do yourself a huge favour. Install an external Fiery or Creo colour server. The Graphic Arts capabilities of the internal controller card are pathetic. Think of the server as the 'brain' controlling the 'body' of your machine. The difference between the onboard 'brain' and a good external box...

Atelje, you don't need the HC version for proofing to match Offset standards. It may not even be calibratable for proofing. It's aimed at RGB workflows, to replicate photographic color gamuts. Just the regular 6501 or the Oce version - known as the CS665pro - will do so long as it has the...

Let's help the lady and not get bogged down in the decade-old infighting over RIPs eh? Ma'am you have GMG ColorProof 4.5. Upgrade to 5 and consider the ColorServer version if you are adding printers. You know how to use it, you have a relationship with the reseller and tech support and GMG is...

Hi there, It's not about the printer, but about the colour management software that drives it, and the profiling. For 2-up A3 size proofs, the Epson 4890 with either GMG, CGS (Oris) or EFI ColorProof XF software is a very popular choice. For larger proofs, say 4-up or 8-up, Epson, HP and Canon...

jcampbell commented: "with no one buying anything, and no one getting the credit they need to make large investments, it won't be tomorrow..." High speed, web-feed, inkjet is one are where companies are indeed buying, on credit or otherwise. It's not a tomorrow thing; it's today. Reason? The...

There are front-end and finishing differences too. Oce's PRISMAweb, PRISMAproduction and other modules are very advanced as they come from the high-end of data-based publishing and trans-promo. Just map out the two side-by-side based on what you want to achieve. If colour is critical; and you...

Ifelton - yes Oce 665Pro is OEM of the KM6501. It also achieved Fogra ISO12647-7 certification in Jan 09. Report from a UK magazine here: Océ's CS665 Pro garners first FograCert certification | printweek.com | Latest Print Industry News, Jobs, Features, Product Reviews, Used Printing and...

Toner digital proofs Toner digital proofs You should check out the Oce CS665Pro with FOGRA ISO 12647-7 certification. To my knowledge, this is the only toner machine/front-end combination that has been through the rigourous FOGRA Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck e.V. certification process...

Hi there, Digital Offset is the term used exclusively for the HP Indigo system because it uses 'liquid toner' - like ink. Xerox, Oce, Canon, Xeikon, Konica Minolta etc use powder toner but results can still be very high quality. High volume inkjet is emerging but is not yet up to liquid and...

Mr Simpson; from the sound of it you should be looking at the Oce Varioprint 6250, not the new 4110 range (only released at Drupa). Duty cycle will be no problem. BERTL rated this machine as 'beyond five stars' - here is Australia some users have reached 3 million impressions before a service...

New digital sheetfed presses New digital sheetfed presses Samtros - the companies that announced 4-up (B2) digital inkjet presses at drupa were Fujifilm and Dainippon Screen. Curious as these two companies are very close. Screen makes FF's CTP machines.

Monitor Calibration Monitor Calibration Hi Tim, These replies are all on the right track. Monitor calibration and profiling (if you want to match monitor RGB color to print CMYK), is quite easy these days, especially if you have a good monitor like the Apple (which I think are Sony). You do...

"There is no such thing as "generic" CMYK." An image produced on a CMYK scanner is surely Generic CMYK. Nanana - all scanners scan in RGB. The CMYK conversion is in the software. A scanner is, after all, a camera with CCDs or CMOS. Good ones have seperate R,G and B sensors, most have beam...

Damo's rants Damo's rants G'Day Damo, You're a great ranter mate; should be more of it. Here's the answer: ISO 12467 It's the standard that's becoming more and more accepted. 3DAP has shifted to it. Your print management company's problem is that they genuinely do not know what press your job...

Epson proofers drifting in general Epson proofers drifting in general Sorry for late entry into this one but wanted to convey some general tips - I helped introduce Epson printers as proofers into the Australian market with around 2-300 installs. Our Rip/CM driver was Oris. 1) Epson tend to...

Re: Anyone know of an affordable Ganging software I totally support Michael Jahn's opinion. Lithotechnics Metrix is probably the least money you could spend to make the most. ....and it was developed in Australia folks! Like Michael, I'm not on a commission or involved in any way. Just admired...

Re: Canon 7000 Extract from Craig's post: "She emphatically told me that the support for this machine was going to be the best Canon had yet to offer, that this was a true production press that was to go head to head with Xerox and Kodak, and they would have the things in place to make sure it...

Re: What can I expect from copydot scans? Is there a better method? Nathaniel, Best copydot I ever saw was from a scanner called the TECSA, made in England. Not sure if they still make them. The Eskoscan was also very good and I saw some excellent work off the Screen Cezanne scanner with...
