    Compliant PDF/X4 and XMP

    I'm using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 9 to make PDF/X4:2007 PDF's, and they keep giving me XMP errors. Any idea how I can get around this? I'm at a loss. Also, would anyone know why PDF/X4:2008 isn't available? And I was under the impression that PDF/X4 required PDF v1.6, but I lose the ability to...

    IPA’s Color Management Professional (CMP) Certification Program

    It's 17 modules that span about 6-7 hours of training. At the end you take a test of about 70 randomized questions, and you get 3 chances to take the test. At the end you get a certificate that's good for one year. Well regarded, I don't know. I'd never heard of it before my employer signed me...

    HP Z6100 faint lines (banding)

    I've seen this when I'm not printing in bidirectional mode. When it only makes one pass, it tends to leave white "pinstripes". Really faint, but noticeable. Choosing bidirectional gets rid of it for me. You might need to use a different media setting on the printer, as your choice of media can...

    Looking for a Color Management Book

    Ditto on this. Excellent book, easy to follow, and well written. This was my introduction to the world of color management.

    Looking for a Color Management Book

    I've taken and passed this course. I found it to be very worthwhile, and you can watch all the training modules for...well, a long time after you've completed the training and test. I'm not sure exactly how long. It's been about 3 months for me.

    PDF/X4 and output intents

    So, I tried this yesterday, and I couldn't select AdobeRGB1998 as the output intent. It was in the same folder as all my other choices, but distiller wouldn't make it available. Aside from linking to it (which I'd like to avoid), what can I do to make it available?

    PDF/X4 and output intents

    No, it is not PDF/X aware, but just yesterday I began testing a 30 day demo of EFI Fiery, and so far, so good. Now if I can just secure the funds. :¬P Right, but (disregarding the next comment, which would change my response to this comment, so just play along ;¬) ) we have people who want...

    PDF/X4 and output intents

    The inkjets and media we use offer a gamut much larger than most standard CMYK working spaces, and the design work is usually done in adobeRGB. Our RIP has had issues with transparency, so we try to flatten it before sending it to the RIP (and our lambda RIP is outdated and can't digest newer...

    PDF/X4 and output intents

    Does the PDF/X standard make sense in a workflow where you have variable media gamuts, and you want to get the best color from each device? (I half know these answers, but I'm not 100% confident, and I need to explain it to "decision makers") We need a solid PDF preset for our workflow, and...

    PDF/X4 and output intents

    2 questions. 1) Is it possible to create a compliant PDF/X4 from the CS3 suite (namely acrobat 8 and InDesign CS3) and 2) Does PDF/X4 require an output intent, or can I let the RIP convert the embedded color information straight to the media gamut it's being printed to?
