Hi Mack, It's probably not Prinect per se; it's probably the resolution of the platesetter he's using. I'd check to make sure everything matches resolution-wise (i.e. you're sending PDF with the same resolution that their device uses). James

I think what Guagee is looking for is findable in the Prinergy online help (available from Workshop's Help menu). the "simple hot folder that would create a new job in prinergy and do a basic refine" is called a "Smart Hot Folder" (as opposed to a job-specific hot folder). There are lots of...

thanks for the heads up, guys. I've forwarded this info along. The wheels are in motion; hopefully be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience! :)

I would also guess this is the problem. If the font (of a subset of the used glyphs inside the font) aren't embedded, then the result (in Acrobat, in RIPs) will be indeterminate. Prinergy should be erroring if this is the case, but perhaps there's something odd going on with the files you're...

If you want to convert CMYK+Spots or CMYK to K-only, you can do this in Prinergy quite easily. Set up a Refine Process Template that - converts spots to process - has Overprint Handling turned on - defines the destination profile as a gray profile (there are a number supplied on the Prinergy...

The supplier is Toshiba. [ Link ]. (I wasn't much of a fan of Toshiba's products before this gaffe, but now…) The Value of Print book is really good; Nicely designed and thoughtfully presented!

Not sure what workflow or tools you have available to you... - If you have Prinergy, it's enabling of a simple setting when you bring the pages in, and the pages get split into the appropriate new number of pages with the appropriate geometry for left and right. Super easy, very effective. - If...

Prinergy has a Copydot JTP which can do moire-free resample of incoming 1-bit data to the effective resolution of your output. PDF with 2540 dpi 1-bit screened data in, PDF with 2400 dpi 1-bit screened data out, for example. Very stable/proven technology.

Assuming you're not using designer-supplied fonts for new work, I think you should be fine. I found the following excerpt from a PDF (fonts embedded!), courtesy of BSA: http://www.bsa.org/country/~/media/Files/Tools_And_Resources/Guides/FontGuide/FontGuide_enGB.ashx "Most font publishers allow...

For now, I'll ignore the typography lover in me who wants to scream "Quark fake bold text? Noooooooooooo!" :) Shawn, you folks are running Prinergy, right? If you have Prinergy Preflight, you can correct this (Text and Line Art \ Maximum miter limit is above [4 pt] \ Fix: decrease maximum miter...

Hi Kanishk, Note that your screenshot is too low resolution to read, so it's impossible to speculate what issues you're encountering. Maybe upload a larger image, or type the error you see? If you're looking for a quick resolution to this, you may want to open a call with the Response Center...

I believe that's a bug. If you only need thumbnails for exceptional troubleshooting cases, you could do Bypass Refine on the original file (Book.PDF), then do a second Bypass Refine on the resulting split pages (Book.p1.PDF, Book.p2.PDF, etc.) to get your thumbnails.

Hi T, You can find this in the online help of each product. If you really need it in PDF form, you can select the top-level topic, and select "Print selected topic and all suptopics" and point to a PDF printer. James

I fully support the concept of only printing documents you receive when you really need to, but the breathless sanctimonious tone of the video bugs me… and imposing a file on people where they CANNOT print (even if they need to) seems pretty harsh and inflexible and arrogant on the part of...

Hi Nimcap, The problem is that most printers print black and white, and have to simulate gray tones in a variety of ways that trick the eye into thinking it sees smooth gray values. It's not clear what kind of device you're using (laserprinter of some sort?) and whether you have to use it in...

Yes, exactly. what you'll need to do is figure out how the files get from Prinergy to the Brisque hot folder (look at the file path in the Prinergy Process Template). when the system is behaving properly, temporarily change the output destination to a "cold folder" on Prinergy or the Brisque...

okay. their response sounds logical. The nice thing about a TIFF based connection like you have, is that you can see the pixels in the file, which is this case are fine. Try step #3 above.

Okay, I see what you mean with "half tone". Interesting usage of the term. :) I assume you're using the Brisque as a TIFF shooter to the Lotem? If you want to isolate the problem yourself, 1) I'd recommend capturing some of the TIFF files. Image a Yellow plate correctly, and keep the...

Hi Toby, Can you elaborate on what you mean by "the half tones and lower disappear"? Do you mean you get incorrect halftone dots (if so, what shape/frequency are they?), or that 0-50% tints are blown out, or....? James

sounds like what you have will work. re: " Is there some reference material out there? " If you check the Preps online help under topic "Creating a new Media Resource", it walks you through how to get the new plate size from your Lotem into Preps using the PPD file.
