I'm looking for any info someone can give me on some sort of desk/booth like in this picture I found on google. Basically looking for some sort of color viewing booth/desk that will take 3 monitors (2 for our iGen and 1 workstation computer monitor), have some desk space to view jobs etc...

I'm looking for a X axis motor with encoder for a Data Technology (now Gerber Innovations) DT6646 CAD table. The part is on back order through Gerber until December, and this machine is in production. I've contacted MagMotor Corporation about the motor, but they told me Gerber installs and...

I thought I'd post here since this forum gets a little more traffic. I'm in the process of getting a Finalproof we recently acquired to output a GRAcOL proof. I'm about 80% there. My process was to output a proof, read in the P2P with Measure Tool, put that in Curve 2, then adjust the...

I'm running Artpro 10.1.1 with Power Stepper in OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 4 core 1st gen. Our workflow is as follows: 1 up - screen in Nexus and create a low res link (with separated preview at 72 dpi) imposition -import and analyze CAD -place links into Repetition layer -continue with...

I'm looking to replace or upgrade our GMG software. We are currently running V4.1, which is pretty out of date. Our proofing needs have evolved since we first started using the GMG Dot Proof with an Epson 9800. We now have a Fuji Finalproof in the department, so simulating a dot proof with...

I was wondering if anyone had any good options for dealing with PSTI files. We are sending a lot of old jobs to be outsourced. They are all either PSTI, TIFFIT or prescreened DCS2 files. Right now, a vendor is having particular problems with a PSTI. They have a facility that can process TIFFIT...

I've done some searching around, but can't find any good info. I'm looking for a monitor in the ~$500 range. I don't do day to day production, and can't really warrant a $1200 plus LaCie or Quatro or even a Mac Cinema Display. While I would get really great use out of a top of the line monitor...

This is a huge problem I've seen in both of my recent jobs. More at my previous job where most of the files we processed were PDFs. Although one job was a narrow web label printer, and my current one is at a sheetfed offset packaging printer, they both have a common thread. Artpro. I really...

Need some advice on a backup strategy. Its for a server running our plant database system. Server is a Mac Pro running the newest version of OSX Server (10.6). Database software is File Maker Pro 11. Our current setup is decent, but not exactly preferable. Ive gotten permission to access the...

We use 2 older HP Designjet 5500s for proofing layouts (on regular paper) and die positions (on vinyl) in or prepress department. Nothing coming off of the printers are especially high res or color critical. We don't fly through ink, but at nearly $250 for the OEM cartridges (HP 81 dye) it...

We just got at used Fuji Final Proofer from another plant. Its been working fine until now. The proofs its outputting are coming out extremely washed out with a strange moire pattern. Its like the controller is trying to screen the files again. I output separated screened Tiffs from a Nexus...

I am trying to open a .svg file I received from a customer. Illustrator comes back with this error: "This SVG is invalid. Validate it before opening" How do I do this? Also, what program uses SVG files? Running Illustrator CS4 14.0.0 on and iMac running OSX 10.5.8 (not on Snow Leopard yet)

We recently installed a new Esko CDI and Dupont FAST and decided to keep the Symphony RIP since we use the die database so heavily. In case its not obvious, we are narrrow web flexo. To anyone using this RIP to drive a CDI with thermal plates, how are you setting up the bump curves in the RIP...

Our company is just getting started implementing this module into use with PSI. I was wondering if anyone had any info, tips or tricks to make the process go smooth. Right now we are having slight problems with it talking to PSI correctly. It won't correctly populate the fields for an order...

A few months ago (could have been Feb or March), I remember seeing a thread with a link to an online version of the Farnsworth-Munsell hue test. I believe it was in The Lounge. I can't seem to find it anymore. I hate to make a thread about this, but can anyone help me track that link down? Thanks.

I just started as the Color Management Specialist at The Kennedy Group, a label printer in northern Ohio in January. Prior to hiring me, they installed the GMG proofing system with a HP Designjet Z2100 Photo proofer. I've had no exposure to the GMG system. I'm used to using Profile maker and...

Hi all, first post. As background, I just got hired at a label printer in northern Ohio as the color management specialist. Accordingly, I've taken on some general responsibilities in managing prepress. One reason I was hired was to move the company forward with digital workflow and CTP...
