    Media for stickers

    Hi Tommi Stickers are normally Self adhesive vinyl. Check with 3M & Avery Dennison, they both have several options. HP's Media locator is also a very good source for information https://www.printos.com/ml/#/medialocator But, I do not think you will find a media that fits all of your criteria...

    Stand Alone Trapping Software

    There is not many pdf editors that I know of that will do trapping. Esko is about or just launched a new Pdf editor ArtPro +. And then you have PackZ. Its probably good too, but I have never tried it. Esko has a few older editors that handles pdf's that might be interesting. Packedge and NEO.

    Pantone and process colour interaction

    Prepress Proof Approval Via Email - Consumer End (Noob)

    Using Power layout and stepping multiple versions

    It might be possible with scripting. But i'm not good enough to be able to give any advice on that. Power Layout for illustrator is not an automated step & repeat solution. You should have a look at Automation Engine, that's the tool that will step & repeat automatically. It can be based on...

    Why is the target not linear?

    Thanks Gordo! I understand why there is dot gain and why that was unavoidable back in the film days. What I don't understand are why we still configure the printing process with that factor in mind. Stephen, there probably won't be any gains if we printed linear. But there seams to be a lot...

    Why is the target not linear?

    Can someone explain in simple words why 50% should print as 68% I understand that back in the days dot gain was unavoidable due to the manual process. I'm just guessing now, but the only way it was possible to compensate for dot gain was with the ink and printing press it self. What I don't...

    For over ten years I edited every PDF with Illustrator.

    Are you sure about that? First, there isn't much difference between a N-Pdf and an Adobe Pdf Second, When you open a pdf you get the option to choose: Esko Pdf or Adobe pdf Have a look at the user manual: http://help.esko.com/docs/en-us/pdfimport/14/userguide/home.html
