My understanding is that the C5200S has a feature that can use a printed target and the scanner to automatically adjust the front to back registration for duplex printing. See 0:37 in this video I can't find anything about this in the documentation though. Does anyone know how this works and...

Color Tuner Web v1.2

Correct, however in this case the RIP (ORIS) can't split out the separations.

I was a little vague on my original post. Here are some more details... I have various PDFs that have been distilled from EPS files which contain one or more spot colors. I want to quickly/easily remove all of the CMYK data leaving just the spot colors. The major hangup is that some of the...

I have a situation where I'd like to take a 4 color + 2 spot color doc and remove the CMYK values completely using an ICC profile, leaving the spot colors in tact. Over the years I've seen special profiles for doing odd conversions and I'm wondering if someone is aware of a profile that might do...

I'm curious about peoples opinions on the relevance of digital halftone proofers in 2010 and beyond (i.e Fuji FinalProof, Kodak Approval, Creo Trensetter). What would be the compelling reasons for anyone that didn't have one to get one? For those that do have one, why stick with it vs. a...

Thanks for taking the time to test this out. That revealed a error I had in some calculations. See attachment for a new comparison. I'm basically "scraping" the FanGraph jpg file for the curve data points. So it will only be as accurate as the values that can be derived from a 225ppi graph...

While it's true you could spend a huge amount on a disk backup system, you could also do it relatively inexpensively. Three years ago our expenditure included 12 750GB drives ($360) 1 Promise enclosure ($2200) 1 copy of Retrospect Multi Server ($650) You can get 2TB drives now for $200 or less...

Yes, currently this spreadsheet assumes gray balance has already been achieved. Here are some new attachments: G7 P2P Analysis_beta0.2.zip - updated Excel doc that allows selection of the CMY144 curve to allow it to work with the data in the other attachments CMY Vis Den.txt - CMY density...

Our setup is a little less than half your size. We're backing everything up to disk now. It's much more seamless and fewer tape related headaches to deal with. We run Retrospect 7.6 on a 7 year old Dell PowerEdge 1650. Backing up OSX machines is a non-issue with Retrospect Client software...

I've attached an Excel doc that I've been working on that will calculate G7 curves. Before proceeding I'd like to verify that it produces accurate results. Currently the only way to generate G7 curves is to use the expensive ($1200) IDEALink Curve software or the cumbersome (but cheap) fan graph...

If the patches you are trying to read are part of a target configured in ColorPort, you can use that app to read density. From the Measure Tab click the italic I (info) button in the Measurement Status section to bring up the Info window. There you can display Lab, colorimetric, spectral and...

Inking systems Inking systems Erik, I've been reading up on inking systems in an effort to better understand why one concept may be better than another. I have a pretty good idea of how your ITB works and also how the Goss DigiRail works. What I have gathered so far is that the traditional...

If you are simply want to measure two colors and calculate the difference for your own personal use then can pick any formula really. Just be sure to use the same formula each time if you will be comparing more measurements in the future. If you are taking measurements to compare to a published...

Here's some more info that refers to the fact that lateral adjustment can effect circumferential density but unfortunately no explanation as to why. GATF training video from the 80's maybe YouTube - OffSet Training Video 2/3

According the Presstek 52DI manual the blanket should measure 0.1mm over the bearer. The manual shows the plate being 0.178mm thick but it doesn't spec the plate cylinder undercut. According to the diagram the plate clearly extends above the plate cylinder bearer. I'm trying to determine how...

Just the other day I was searching the web looking for information on how the lateral movement of the oscillating rollers can affect where the ink density maxes out from the gripper to tail. I've found a lot of information about how the inks density does vary from gripper to tail and that...

Reduced sale price is only $12500 ;) Service contract is already canceled. A quick internet search shows a full set of new Syn-Tac rollers would be around $7500, does that sound about right? Note that the rollers we have now are not made by Ryobi. We sent the old rollers to a company to have...

We have a BID unit that is 6 months past expiration. I've heard that these can be used as much as 4 years after expiration. Does anyone know for sure what the story is with expired BID units?

It's just another computer like any other. It would probably be worth while to go ahead and replace the drive now. You could dupe it and replace it at the same time. Then you aren't faced with restoring from a potentially outdated backup.
