Thanx Ian, we're gonna try to contact one of these!!!

Is there anyone out there that is still making plates from film? Preferably in the Chicagoland area?

I.c.e. I.c.e. To anyone looking for ink savings, there is indeed many options out there, however, I have been involved with Alwan a few years ago, and at that time Alwan had only been in business for a few years. We had success with that product, but there seemed to be occasional inherent...

Ice Ice Hey Courier, we tried this product on several jobs recently, and found it to be a great help in saving ink, helping overall color, and gray balance. Working with the folks there was a pleasure. They're very knowledgble and helpful. We sent them files, color bars from the press we were...

We have older "System 38" Komori webs, (probably 20+ yrs old), and would like to try to set them up presetting the ink keys for, obviously, faster makereadys. We already have other, newer web presses already using a CLC system, (CIP3), and have been extremely successful with that system. What we...

I.c.e. I.c.e. On the follow up, we did test the program with a rather radical profile on, get this, a new customer. It ran so well and our pressmen liked it VERY MUCH. It seemed that once the pressman had their "ducks in a row" they loved it! If I have this whole "increased gamut" thing...

Ink Savings Ink Savings Gordo: Thanx for the comeback, by the way, with you're background with Kodak, what's your take on Kodak's ColorFlow? I believe it's called? I think that's the product name for Kodak's ink optimization program. Any thoughts??

Has anyone heard of or used a new product from "Chromaticity" that is a new ink optimamizer program? If I'm correct it's called "ice"? From what i've been told, it's something like "Alwan". Apparently it is in the stage of being newly rolloed out in the next few months. The boast is that not...

I posted this query back a few; how can I save ink without going "Alwan" etc. and one of the replies was, try creating a heavier GCR profile, which I did using Kodak's Profile Wizard and setting the process template in Prinergy to use this profile ONLY on "Images" and not "Graphics". Overall...

OK, here's the dilemma, we want to employ Alwan for the purpose of attaining ink savings. However the "budget" at the moment won't allow our prepress dept. to purchase this program. Is there a possible or cheaper way of employing something we already have to use a GCR method to achieve something...

We've recently dealt with a customer sending us a PDF file with embedded Pantone colors. Now, I am familiar with the letter used to assign a particular substrate, ie., "C" , "U", etc for coated, uncoated, but we received two Pantone colors, one with a "CV" and the other with a "CVC", for...

Re: Dot shape for web presses The pattern I'm speaking about is probably a moire pattern. We've gone back into the history of the job to make sure the right angles were used. Now on one job the pattern was corrected on press as there seems to have been a problem with roll pressure and the...

Re: resistance to new technologies/workflows Whoa! Of all I read here on this subject sir, yours was the one that made the most sense!! It's called diplomacy and general RESPECT. If you don't know HOW to use your people, I guess it's always just easy to "clean house". Kudos to you sir, as that...

We're looking into trying something different in dot shape. Currently we're using a round dot shape, but would possibly like to try euclidean, or maybe a hybrid dot shape. This trial is prompted by a rash of problematic patterning issues as of late. Also, is anyone running their yellow at a...
