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...

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, 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...

Hi, Whenever fresh font is prepared the amount of alcohol can be verified with things like "alcoholometers" hydrometers without any additives like font solutions etc and the readings are very accurate, we can accurately estimate the amount of alcohol in water and then add font solution to...

Hi, We use TVI for compensation and setting up print conditions to meet specific requirements. Taking into account all the variables printing has how consistently can the implemented TVI's be maintained considering that we use exactly the same raw materials for subsequent runs which were used...

Hi, Just wanted comments on changes in ink-transfer capabilities of blanket with aging, categorising three phases of blanket life - New Blanket, Mid-life Blanket, End-life Blanket. Thanks

Hi, I need to know ink zone width for Roland 700, 5 color press. Can't get this info from press managers :-( Thanks

Hi, I want to know what should be the temp of ink rollers so that proper ink transfer can happen, as I understand high temp of ink rollers can adversely effect ink transfer properties. Thanks

Just for understanding how do companies come to conclusions like 20 microns FM screening equal (say) 400 lpi in AM screening. What parameters decide what FM size dot can be printed on what substrate, I was reading somewhere in the forum that 10 microns can be printed on uncoated substrate also...

Hi, I plan to do a press fingerprint should I read absolute density or relative density for the sake of consistency in densitometric readings? Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks

Hi, I just wanted to know if it is possible to create device-link profiles between a 4 color and a 6 color icc profile or the number of colors between destination and target colorspace has to be same? Thanks

Hi, I am curious to know if there are any test targets or tests otherwise to check for good ink/water balance on sheetfed offset press? Thanks

Hi, This is kind of a strange observation while using Harmony, details are given below: a) Make a target curve (single curve) put 50% = 70% ie a 20% dot gain b) Make a current curve (single curve) put 50% = 60% ie a 10% dot gain When I create a derived calibration curve the curve dips the...
