Re: Fingerprinting a 6 color Diddi: Step by Step instructions? Thanks for the input guys. I'll talk with the owner this week and see what his thoughts are on hiring a consultant. I had a feeling that would be the best way to go. I'll also look into those books. Even at my own expense they would...

I am looking to find out how to fingerprint our 6 color diddi press. I have worked around these types of presses before but never was responsible for this level. Here at the label company I am at we are trying to get our 6 color up and running for the first time. I tried to do some research...

Re: Densitometer for CMYK printing Thanks for the input. I have heard good things about Xrite and will point my boss in that direction. He'll have to make the decision money-wise. Some of them can be a bit pricey but seem like a necessity for good four color process printing.

I am looking for recommendations on a densitometer for a pressman who runs 4 color process jobs. I believe he needs something to verify his color in his color bar are 100%. Anyone have a direction they can point me in as to what to recommend to my boss for him?

My company does full color laser label printing and is looking for a digital printer/press for short runs of 50-1000. We need a printer that can run at high tempatures to ensure the labels ink doesn't melt when the label is run back through a laser by a client. We do a considerable amount of...

Does anyone know how I can get the background in a Word document to show up when I print it to a PDF? I have used the Background Printing option but that still does not make it show up. The customer insists I use the background pattern he used but I have no way to pull it out of word so I can...

Re: InDesign Problems Can you share the solution so if anyone else runs into the problem they will have an idea of how to fix it. Thanks!

Re: CS CS2 CS3 In my past experiences I have had to save backwards because another system in the company did not have CS3 yet. They were the production wing of our facility and they were the last to be updated since they were just using the programs for minor manipulation in order to print to a...

Re: CS CS2 CS3 I had to do that at the last shop I worked at for CS2 down to CS. Oh the joys that caused me. Kind of wish they could make it easier on us but there are other more important things to put false hopes into. Ha!

Re: Ready to get OUT of the business ... This is totally understandable that you are frustrated. Too many "clients" coming out of art school have no knowledge of print and think it is below them to ever work in a print shop. Honestly I have been in prepress for over 7 years and this experience...

Re: Poll--just curious? Re: Poll--just curious? I agree you should be making more. Unfortunately I ran into the same issue and finally got out of it about two months ago. I spent 7 years at one place and made horrible money. Finally found a smaller print shop with the right mind set to be out...

I am getting spotty coverage from my black ink and find myself in a situation where both the drum and the toner are low. My question is which do you think would be causing this issue or is it both? I am trying to be careful not to waste any toner or drum life because of costs.

Re: AGFA Imagesetter What version of Quark are you using? Possible there was an update to it recently that may have caused the issue? What about an auto update to your RIP software? Just some thoughts.

Re: Imagesetters Another company you may want to look at is Xante. We just had a plate burner and processor installed here. I was very impressed with the entire process and training was very thorough. It has definitely fit well into our workflow with Diddie, Ryobi and Hamada presses. Just...
