We are a poster printer and have recently changed paper. We previously ran a dull ctd cover (C2S). We now run a dull ctd C1S. We have noticed that after the run the image looks "hazy or foggy" just not as sharp. Flat. The top sheet on the pile looks a lot nicer than sheets in the pile. The top...

Re: Why does Apogee convert my black only text to 4 colour? This also happened to us. We had a tech come in to help us with Impo2. He set up hot folder for us to help our workflow. Come to find out when we drop it in a hot folder all the black type goes to 4/c grey. We went back to using print...

Re: Apogee X Light This will likely be SOP since this client, which supplies us with files and a signed off Epson, is 95% of our work load. Can't use hot tickets due to the black type converting to a 4/c grey. We have no spectrophotometer. We have no Agfa support contract. To get close...

I know you are supposed to produce a prepress proof is to make it match the press sheet. I am well aware of this. Is it possible to do it the reverse way? We have an Apogee X light running our avantra imagesetter. How can we get into our RIP to make our films produce to the Epson proofs?

Re: Hostmann-Steiberg Inks We have just switched to Non Fade Hostman Inks for Poster production for our S/F presses. 40" and 77". We run much less water than Pertech Inks thus we have been getting better dry back results (less dryback). Better tack, trap numbers. We sometimes (with Pertech)...

Re: Multiple rounds of color correction color matching problems O.K. I am kind of following along here, some of this stuff is deep. A couple folks used the words "repurposed" and "re-separated". How is this done? I looked through PS help and found nothing on this. BTW... the client sends...

Re: Dry Ice Blasting... We had our large format 77" press dry iced when it was moved to another facility. It came out great!

Re: Gloss or Gas Ghosting We had a similar problem a few years ago. We ran the sheets back through and overall Aqueous coated. A nice thin coat.

Re: Film has too Low Density We have an Avantra 44S. We frequently clean the mirror in the drum area with an alcohol wipe. This brings the D-Max right up! We usually have to bring down the laser setting about 100 points after cleaning. Our machine is going on 10 years old now. Original laser...

Re: Multiple rounds of color correction color matching problems I want to thank all of you folks for your input with this! It has been interesting learning some new things here and has been helpful. May I ask one more question here? Some information written in this thread says CMYK is not a...

Re: Multiple rounds of color correction color matching problems I am so glad to read someone else has this same issue. Any other folks experience this? We just can not get a handle on it and is driving us nuts here! It could be almost any color and any size file. BTW what is GMG? Edited...

Multiple rounds of color correction color matching problems Hi Folks! We are an art printer. We have been experiencing something strange. It seems when we get an Epson proof from one of our clients and their has been multiple rounds of color correction in photoshop, we are way off on color...

Re: InDesign CS2 black type not showing in color pallet Shawn, BINGO !!! That worked! Now the understanding needs to be achieved... How could someone have thrown out this swatch when the type is still in the document? What makes it different to name it as c-0 y-0 m-0 k-100 vs...

Re: InDesign CS2 black type not showing in color pallet We are using Intel on one machine with CS3 and a G5 with CS2 on the other machine. It is a CS2 document. When in Separation Preview it shows as black (looks solid). CMY is dropping out. We want to overprint onto CMY. This is where we...
