We run our GS6000 with the Onyx rip and have also found some media difficult to profile. Espon support says that we should make profiles for each media, while the sales rep told us to find the closest profile in the Oynx library and run it. After weeks of making profiles and testing, we found...

We switched from Iway to OPS several years ago. OPS has been a great product. We get a majority of our stationery (letterhead, envelope, business card...) orders via OPS. It saves us tons of time, letting the client order and proof online. There are a few things that we wish it did a little...

We have just purchased our first Wide Format Printer, the Epson GS5000 (jumping in with both feet and no life jacket). Our rep, who we bought the printer from, has given us an extensive list of papers he has available, close to 30. Any advice on what we should stock? What is the most popular...

(I wasn't sure which forum to post to, so I am posting to both). We are looking at switching to the Fuji Ecomaxx (Fuji is about 20% cheaper than Agfa). I have followed some threads online and saw that a few people are having issues with the Ecomaxx. It seems to be mainly issues with paper and...

We are looking at switching to the Fuji Ecomaxx (Fuji is about 20% cheaper than Agfa). I have followed some threads online and saw that a few people are having issues with the Ecomaxx. It seems to be issues with paper and calcium. Anything tips to make these work would be great. Does anyone...

We have an X-rite ccDot, that we have gotten a lot of use out of, but now it is acting up (battery won't hold a charge and if I take four (4) reading of a swatch on the plate I will get four different results). I read a 25% swatch on a "Linear" plate and got readings of 25%, 30%, 25.5% and 33%...

Sorry, the box just says 30, but it is (0.3 mm / 0.0012 in). Our other plates are 505 mm x 340 mm (0.15 mm / 0.0006 in).

This only happens with our large size plates, 730 mm x 600 mm (30 mil).

G7 is a printing standard that helps you keep your blacks neutral. We have been using G7 for three years now and our customers love it. We are very consistent and our proofs match the presses 99% of the time. It really does make printing photos look better, however, we do have a little issue...

We hired someone to come and go through the G7 certification with us for the initial certification. We have been doing it ourselves for the last two year to re-certify. We use an Eye-One at the press to read custom color bars (from SpotOn!) that we have added to each press sheet to verify that...

We are in Oregon and are using AGFA's Azura TS plate, it is a light blue (almost Cyan). We were using PressTek plates and never had this problem, but because of a press issue, we had to switch to AGFA. We have had the tech in here twice on this issue, but it keeps coming back, and now our...

We are getting a reoccurring error on our PlateRite 4300 - E5139 - Mechanical Error. Once we clear this, we get "E5139 - After the plate is transferred to the gripper clamp, the plate detection sensor (PH29H/A) does not switch on." We get this on some random boxes of AGFA Azura TS plates...

We switched to the Azura TS at the beginning of this year and we are very happy. We were running the LAP-V for over 6 years and had great results with them. We were wanting a "Greener" option. The only issue that we have found is that the Azura TS is a little more sensitive to scratches from...

How do you decide when you have so many choices that do similar things at similar prices? We had picked ApogeeX in the first place because it was the "Bleeding" edge (Apogeex 1.0) and at the time (6 years ago) there was nothing like it that we found. These days, it seems that every software...

I had expected the 25% Black to be added to the 100% spot color, but after going back and looking at the file I guess that was the wrong assumption. It was not set to "Multiply" so it wouldn't necessarily add to the color below it. I did some further testing and found that when I print the...

We are using the PDF Render TP. We have run into issue several times when we have a job (usually a client PDF, but also from our version of InDesign CS4) the has a spot color with a transparency or gradient with a transparent effect. We had one today that was an InDesign file with a screened...

We are currently looking to upgrade to a more recent prepress workflow system. We currently have Apogee Prepress 5 and have had some issues with transparencies and spot colors. Now that Adobe CS5 is shipping we are ready to upgrade. We have looked at Heidelberg's Prinect, Fuji's XMF...

So far we have done jobs up to 50,000 on uncoated paper and we have not seen anything yet. We were getting up to 10,000 on uncoated with the PressTek plates.

PressTek told us that it was our Dampening System on our Komori Press. After nearly a year of struggling with it. We finally made the switch to the Agfa Azura TS plate. Everything runs great, but we are back on a chemistry/Gum rinse on the plates.

Was your solution to change back to the Anthem or did you go to another manufacturer? Where are you located? I would like to have our PressTek Rep talk to yours and compare notes. We feel like a Guinea Pig sometimes. Thanks
