Is RePrint on vacation or did I missplace it this week or? J

I hope you can help me with this. A book with photographs and watercolour illustrations to be printed on 280 x 210 mm format has been sent to the printer in PDF. The page trim area on all PDF's has been set to 200mm and the bleeds have been set to 2mm not 5mm. How can this be fixed? J

Attached is a close-up photo of a press sheet (with a US 1 cent coin for scale). The press sheet has small speckles of the 4 process colors printing in the non-image area. I've seen this from time to time in other press sheets and was wondering what the cause might be. It is not one of my jobs...

Did I miss this week's RE:Print? Has it moved? J

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this - but I don't use Illustrator CS3 very often so I can't find it. I want to have a 100% Cyan square partially over print a 100% magenta square. How do I make it do that? "Overprint" seems only to apply to black and not other colors. Also, can I preview...

In a recent Kodak blog it appears confirmed that Kodak won't be having any equipment on their booth at Print 09. That will save them a great deal of money - but will it hinder their ability to promote their wares compared to competing vendors? Isn't one of the reasons you might attend a show...

What are your feelings about where prepress is now and prospects for the future. (e.g. Film strippers transitioned to prepress operators, now what?) regards, J

Dear Sirs, 

It is with sorrow that I have to announce that the above decision has been made by the Ciba Coating Effects Segment Leadership Team.

 The main reason is the business does not fit with Ciba Coating Effects core business, not...

Not sure where to ask about this. I stumbled on the Taskero Universe web site. The product looks very interesting but the descriptions of how it actually works in the shop are quite vague. Anyone have experience with this product that they can share? Does it do what they say? I'm especially...

I guess no one is doing 10 micron with Screen CtP. So, is anyone doing 20 micron FM on a daily basis using Screen CTP (esp 8600 and 4300)? Success? Issues?

This is probably a very dumb question but I'm very new to this and trying to understand. It seems that GRACoL 7 does away with solid ink density targets and replaces them with L*a*b* aim points. Why then are the NPDC aim points specified in density values and not L* values? thank you, John

Hi, If a G7 expert comes to our shop to set us up so that we can apply for master printer certification, what is the basic process or steps that they would follow and about how long does it take? John

Hi, I'm new to this forum and am trying to understand some things about color management. I'm a pressman and was given the BRIDG'S printer's survival guide for printing to specifications and standards to digest. In it there is a poster of printing guidelines. The info on the poster is a bit...
