    Profiles for Web Press

    Thanks for the help on this! Not only am I clueless to this as the shop I work in is sheetfed only, the other shop is pretty clueless about this as well. The lady that used to typeset for them got the boot. From the samples I've gotten from them she really didn't know what she was doing as far...

    Profiles for Web Press

    I have been charged with taking over a newsletter for our other shop. They print this on a web press. The lady there has told me that the pictures need to compensate for a 30% dot gain. Can I just apply the Dot Gain 30% profile in Photoshop and that takes care of it? When I do this it darkens...

    Mitsubishi Help

    OK, here we go: All of this was suggested by the Mitsubishi tech I talked to on the phone and it really does seem to be helping. Also I clean the hell out of it every two weeks. Its a real PITA, but as I said before it seems to help. Maybe to the point of taking care of it all together. Our...

    Mitsubishi Help

    He grudgingly changes chemistry to the stuff that is supposed to be for the polyester plates we run, but that hasn't done any good. When our xpedx rep came to look at it he said it needed cleaned and gave it a thorough cleaning and I have kept it at least as clean since then. That was only a...

    Mitsubishi Help

    We run a Mitsubishi ECO 1630 III R. Every so often on one of our presses (the 4 color Heidelberg) we get strange little spots on the plates and they transfer to the paper. Sometimes they are on all 4 plates other times only on one, two, or three. This doen't seem to be an issue with the other...

    Baumfolder Liberty Series Continuous Feeder Problem

    I've got a Baumfolder Liberty Series (circa 1983). My continuous feeder just quit going forward. I can still back it off, but no forward motion at all. I've checked the circuits on the switch and all seem to be in working order. Just will NOT move forward. Any suggestions would be greatly...

    Flumoxed

    I've had this problem before but thought I had it licked using profiles, apparently not. OK. I have a four color business card we're running 3 on 3 up. When I sent it to film the black on two of the three people was very muddy. I went back and checked the setting of the different pictures...

    Changing rich black

    Re: Changing rich black Sorry to not reply sooner, had to help in bindery yesterday. Thanks Matt. I was kind of hoping you'd be by. from what I've read here and at GDF you're some kind of pitstop savant (?). I just barely installed pitstop about a week ago and haven't been able to really get...

    Changing rich black

    OK, I give up. I just got Pitstop 7. I have a full color file that has a bunch of built black advertisements (both graphics and type). I cannot figure out how to convert the rich black to black only. Anyone? The all black to real black seems like it would be the one, but it doesn't seem to do...
