Hi Leonard, Thanks a lot for the answer. It's much clearer now. And sorry if I missed the information about that in the Creative Suite Printing Guide. I downloaded it when it was released but I didn't notice that… For the acknowledged bug about the Output Preview panel, I was just referring...

Hi everybody, I have a little question about the strange behavior of Acrobat XI. I know that Adobe has already acknowledged some bugs in the output preview panel but I found another one (or maybe it's just a new feature). In Acrobat X, when you open a PDF/X1 (or X3, X4, as far as I know), even...

Hi Greg, I think that stephen is right. If you want to convert from CMYK to CMYK, your original image need to be tagged with an ICC profile or you have to use a target profile that is not the same as the one selected in the preferences of Acrobat. If your default CMYK profile is...

Sorry if it is not really helpful. I don't use Apogee on a daily basis but rather when the regular operators are not available so I don't have a lot of experience. If I have the opportunity, I will try to reproduce the situation on our system tomorrow or friday at work.

I may be wrong but I think that you can achieve what you want by using the color management options of Apogee. I attach to this message a PDF I made to show (almost all) the possibilities offered by Apogee for the processing of the images (sorry, it's in french but I hope it's not to difficult...

It's also possible to use Laser printers. You may have a look there: Water-slide (Waterslip) Decal Transfer Paper I used this kind of product on prototypes and it's OK, at least if you don't need to print in white… Hope it will help you. Thierry

Thanks for your answers. Todd, it's exactly what I do but it's always nice to see somebody else confirming it. Regards.

You are right but it's an old method from the pre-ICC days and if you want to use it, you have to rely on obsolete ink description like Eurostandard (at least if your work is going to be printed in Europe). ICC profile is the way to go if you want an up-to-date gray balance and a better...

Hi everybody, A little question about rendering intent in image processing apps and workflows: do you have a good reason to choose Perceptual and not relative colorimetric? I know that when you want to convert towards a smaller color space, this rendering intent is supposed to give you a better...

I don't know if this will help you (as far as I know, it only works with Photoshop): You may use whatever profile you want just by choosing Load Grey level in the Grey level of the Edition>Colors of Photoshop and then choosing a suitable profile. This way, Photoshop will use the black curve of...

There is some information about gravure on the eci.org website. I don't know if it's what you are looking for but you can download ICC profiles and documentation here: Downloads [ECI.ORG] Regards

PerfX Image X is very nice but if you want to try with Acrobat 9, it seems to be possible. I made a preflight profile using what is called a "vérification personnalisée" in my french version of Acrobat (maybe "custom checks" in english). I choosed to add three times the same action but with...

I completely agree with leonard but Acrobat's output preview can be really misleading for people who don't understand how it works. I see a lot of professionals (especially printers) sending back files to their customers and telling them that those files contain 4-color blacks. At least, with...

Oups! Sorry for this. I didn't check the file after the upload. I just made a new updated version and I compressed it in zip format. I hope it will work this time…

Hi Wendy, Sorry, I don't remember the password but here is the same file without any protection. By the way, you can print the previous one directly from Acrobat without problem but I guess that you are going to make some "manual" imposition in InDesign…

I don't think that it's possible when the document is open but you can do it at opening. If the profile embeded in the document is not the same than Illustrator's working color space, Adobe's application will ask you if you want to convert the colors or leave them unchanged provided that the...

IMHO, the best way to apply trapping is to do it when ripping, when it is possible. This way, the trapping is only applied when needed and with correct values. But if you want to do it in Illustrator, it's quite possible. The method explained in the link posted by arkay_desai works well and...

As far as I know, there are three different ways to convert spot colors to cmyk but only one will modify the data in your file. If you choose to use the ink manager within the Convert colors option, it will work correctly but if you go directly to the ink manager (or via the output preview), the...

Maybe I am wrong but I think that the default setting in InDesign is to keep the embedded profiles for RGB import but to ignore them for CMYK. If you don't change this parameter, you are not going to have a profile attached to an individual CMYK image in a PDF but only one profile for the whole...

You may try this one. It's a ruler I made for my trainees a long time ago. Now, we have a CTP and this file is becoming useless. If you have a CTF, you just have to print the PDF. It's not perfect but I hope that it will be of some help.
