Quato monitors are very good and reliable, suppose to be the best hardware available in the industry. We have been using them for over 4 yrs now without any problems. Regards

Yes, I was able to solve the issue using profile maker software. Since it was a one time task, I will have to look into my notes and get back to you on this. Please note the modified profile was only used for soft proofing purpose only and never for colour space conversions. Regards

Check all interlocks are secure. We faced such problem when are interlocks in the small/medium film cassette area was not secure. Hope this helps. Regards

Thanks a lot for your inputs. It's amazing how the website states that the duty cycle for "Pro color pro 930 digital color printer" is 150,000 pages per month, based on your inputs this printer will need almost six drum replacements a month to maintain consistent results!!! Incidentally I was...

Thank you for sharing your experiences, but are these experiences limited to entry level printers from oki or with pro level printers?

I was wondering if anyone is using Oki Pro Series printers in a digital printing environment which has equipment like Konika Minolta / Xerox / Canon digital presses for comparison. My main interest is quality, cost of running and down time, speed is not very important. I am told that Oki...

Thank you for such a simple explanation of the procedure which not many people know about. I am still confused as to the loop adjustment to be applied to front side or the back side, as the option for loop adjustment is available for both the sides? Regards

Hello Mr Arshad, Where are you located? Regds

There is an area in the control tool "visual reference steps" this is used to verify if the plate is imaged linear. I have also seen other tools that have bitmapped screen values on top at 10% steps with vector values on bottom which when imaged should be equal to the bitmapped values such...

It's interesting to know that we can operate without linearising our CtP devices but how can we justify using plate control tools like plate wedges eg plate wedge from ugra as visual control tools, I believe all control tools are based on presumption that you are imaging linear plates else they...

Thank you for your input. I also thought the same but at any given point of time only one curve seems to be registered with the controller either Coat or Uncoat. This confusion is basically because nothing is visible to the user... Regards

Hello, I am new to digital printing environment and have just got my Konica Minolta C6000 with IC 601 controller. My confusion is basically how device calibration works using Color Centro. While calibrating the device we print a step wedge generated by Color Centro and measure it using i1 pro...

Hi, Do you still have the dongle for sale? If yes pls provide your email so that I can get in touch. Regards

Exact reproduction of colour is impossible, there are always tolerances for any process between device to device. If we compare digital proofing to press sheet they also don't match exactly there is always some difference, having said that there are monitors like Quato which after calibration...

If the client is difficult then make sure you get the paper white in tolerance as higher -b values could effect colours in highlight areas even though solids might be in tolerance, considering the fact that your customer reads media wedge (or some other custom control strip) to establish pass/...

Hi, There are organisations like ugra (besides Fogra) who certify print/prepress houses for PSO compliance. The procedure is to hire ugra certified consultants, they help organisations setup the workflow, data handling, standard lighting, monitor calibration and validation, digital proofing...

I am sure that the problem is not with the custom icc profile. Actually what's happening is that the black point of the icc profile when displayed on the monitor is very dull (or not dark enough) like in newspapers. I want to cheat a little bit by making my black point slightly darker than the...

Hi, I have to change the Black Point for soft proofing ie make the soft proof darker than the specs provided in the press profile. I understand that we can change this by using Profile Maker defining the workflow ie Source---> Simulation--> Destination in Profile Editor. The reason I need to...

You can visit Quatographic Technology GmbH. I guess they are the only ones doing display panels for press consoles. Regards

Thank you very much, got the point, will get in touch with bottcher to understand how to go about it. Being a prepress service bureau asking my customers to install filteration systems is not a practical option neither they would convert themselves to go alcohol free. The reason I wanted to...
