Hi I'm setting up my Mac and Pitstop after a system cleaning, and I wonder what LAB profile I should use in Pitstop's Color Management. I see the default is Enfocus Generic LAB. I've learned that LAB is LAB, and it crossed my mind that I think I never changed that on my previous systems. FFEI...

Well, Lukas, I have ask myself the very same question. And I have to admit I don't know why. You're so right. We don't have to do it just because we can. Well actually, you've answered my question, and next time I get a similar print job I would know what to tell the designer (client) to do...

Here are the files In "Multiply 5" the left bar is RGB multiply, and the right bar is CMYK 0-100-100-0 overprint Background picture is sRGB. In "Multiply 6" everything is converted to ISO Coated 300%

Hmmmm. I've also tried "Convert to Destination" with the same results.

Hello I've received print jobs from a client recently with multiply-effects; objects overprinting on images with darker areas. We get problems with ink coverage up to 370-380%, but we prefer 300% The attached file is just a sample I made to generate the same issue. The picture is aRGB placed...

Yes, it's forcing to Adobe CMYK. Screen-representative says, and I quote: "The Adobe CMYK profile is a profile that comes with most applications and does not have a defined dot gain like f.ex. Fogra 39". To me it sounds like the opposite of what I want. If I could change that somehow, it...

That's what I thought. But I've searched the web and I have asked Screen, and did not succeed in getting hold of ISOUncoated DL-profile. We're running the Device Link when we're plating, but I'd like to see the outcome on screen first. We don't use a color proofer other than the monitor. I've...

Forgot to thank you, Lukas and TerryWise. I just had my Trueflow set up with Device Links. Works good so far A couple of more questions for you Terry (or anyone else using Trueflow) 1) Do you know a way to see the conversion results in Proof PDF? Under "Color Management" in Proof PDF, Device...

Thanks a lot. But Acrobat adds heavy compression to the pictures when converting. There might be a setting for this somewhere I can't find. I just got PitStop 10 Pro, it might be better to do it here, or what do you think? I just can't find my way around it to get it right. In my RIP I only...

I have a file with 350% tac i dark areas. Want to reduce this to 300% without changing colors. The images in the PDF are not tagged. If I tag images using f.ex ISO Coated v2 300%, the colors will come out at 280% in the RIP-ed Proof PDF in Trueflow. But in Acrobat's Output Preview simulating...

Thanks, Format. Worked perfectly for me as well. The Proof PDF will also show the actual spot color from the Input-PDF, amazing:)

For some reason it works now. I connected via afp:// and Administrator I've experienced this problem earlier on another Mac, but I never figured it out - not even the technician from Screen did, so we had to use the client directlyon the Trueflow server until now. Anyway thanks. I'll try your...

Hello there I'm having difficulties viewing Proof PDFs in Trueflow 7 on my Mac. The first time I click on a Proof PDF it will show me the RIPed PDF, but next time it will show a dialog box saying "File Not Found". I can the re-open the client on the mac, and watch this repeat itself over and...

Yes, thanks both of you. I want to get closer to the ISO Coated/Fogra 39 and uncoated Fogra29. So I guess my press should be increasing the mid-tones, and not the other way. Now we don't have a standard on the two different presses we use. They print quite different results. Question: I use...

Hi I run a Komori L28 4color press. I have a question about Dot Gain / ISO since I've heard different opinions from prepress tech-guys and teachers in printing. Let's say dot gain on Cyan 50% is 10%, so that it actually looks 60 % when sheet is printed. My guess is that we should make a...

To me it's not. Why do you think I ask?

We have used this dialog often to check colors i PDFs. But I soon noticed that this isn't always reliable. Because it's just a CMYK simulation, so if the files were RGB, it would appear as CMYK. Anyway, I am now one step further in this mess (!), so my question is: I have a file that has...

Don't know Rampage. But I'm using Trueflow 6. Awesome workflow, and it's installed on a Windows server. So you can have unlimited no. of clients on the same network. You can make your own Job Ticket templates - makes it really fast to impose regular jobs - just drag and drop the PDFs. But in...

I know it's a plug-in. Anyways, it worked with the latest version. Thanks!

Hi there. I run Mac OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) on an Intel iMac. When I try to install Pitstop 7, it shows the Pitstop icon in the dock, but a white window appears and nothing happens. Have tried to explore the package "Start.app" but can't find anything to start the install manually. Any ideas...
