Best Quality Digital for you calendars Best Quality Digital for you calendars Find someone who has a HP 7000 indigo, the quality is fantastic and very consistent. We currently use several companies that have the 7000 and we have no quality issues, (and we produce sheet-fed litho via...

Injetpex?! Injetpex?! Yes the Fuji 720 was up and running at chicago and was impressive, this along with Screens new Inkjet press will be the stars of the show for me. Other inkjet tech will no doubt be everywhere, the beginning of the end for Litho I believe!

Looking to talk to an experienced Indigo HP7000/5500 operator - needs to be in the London area, to help with setting up of a brand new digital system.

Hope this helps Hope this helps Surely you mean the igen4, and why have you discounted the HP7000? We have done extensive testing on the latest SE3600 Nexpress, indigo HP7000 and the igen4. All gave great results, the key points are quality against cost of print. HP7000 was the best for...

NO Problems here. NO Problems here. I was expecting to have problems when we changed over but we changed over quite a while ago with No! issues at all. Indesign files CS3/CS4 when exported directly to PDF with transparency go through with no problems, very happy. PS if you have old jobs using...

Both are good... I have set up and used Apogee / Prinergy / Screen and Heidelberg systems and would limit it to either Prinergy or Heidelberg. Heidelberg probably has the edge if you have Heidelberg presses and finishing equipment and want to join the whole lot together by means of an MIS...

What file type should I be using to send to an EFI colourproof rip from Prinergy, PDF would be best, but if anyone is doing this already what do you use and do you get any problems?:confused:

Thanks for the heads up John, at least I know what to look for now if I do any trials with the plates, much appreciated thank you. Anybody else got any problems?

Is anyone currently using PRESSTEK plates, in particular the AURORA PRO process-less plates, are they any good, and what has the suppliers customer service been like?:confused:

I totally agree, given a chance I would probably use the epple inks, the difference in price would be nothing compared to the savings made due to quicker make-ready times, unfortunately there is only one supplier in the UK which seems to be scaring some people here off. Most of our customers do...

Thanks Mr Meddington we have found the same here, image control helps out alot, what I need to do though is find an INK which is similar to the epple ink; ie manufactured to a tight ISO standard, every batch is the same and every batch is designed to hit the LAB values (Overprints etc.) when...

The densities we are printing are all spot on, hence the fact we are looking at different inks, the inks we currently use are not really capable of hitting ISO, some tests we did with epple inks where fantastic but where a bit costly, they came in with deltaE of less than 1.7 across the board...

Example (Flint Inks which gave us the best results).... K deltaE 1.69 C detlaE 4.8 M deltaE 1.4 Y deltaE 2.0 Measured using Image control Stehlin was much further out on the Magenta as well Dot gain and speads all very close deltaE of 1.2 Really just interested in feedback about other...

We are currently reviewing our ink supplier 'Stehlin' and looking to improve the quality of our print to achieve the 'best' ISO standard possible, any suggestions on Inks, we are testing Heidleberg(FLINT), Flint and Stehlins, all get close but on some the L.A.B values only just fall in.... ...

I wish they wouldn't put that darned' 7 so close to the 8 on the keyboard... my mistake!:)

Hope this helps Hope this helps The main thing about plate curves is that you will need a separate curve for each colour. (I' don't know too much about di but the principal is exactly the same. Most softwares use automatic smoothing and therefore it is important to have only a few nodes on...

This one is easy... go to each page(Spread) select all - group all items - do this for each page - now just add a page to the right hand side of each page so you now have a spread (it is obviously the wrong size page) - next all you do is change the document size to the single page size... job...

Good thread.. Alas for pre-press, just as software becomes stable and we start to settle into a workflow that actually works, a new software release comes along! In pre-press the problems are doubled due to (as Lukas has mentioned ) the problems when one part of the workflow is updated and this...

There where some issues with PDFs created from CS1/2 when using PDF checking softwares, giving the dreaded xxx instead of characters, so every level of software and release has its own new problems, just as well otherwise we would be replaced by 16 year olds fresh from school for a 3rd of the...

Prinergy is by far the best, slickest and most progressive, it is more visual than others and if given enough CPU's is blisteringly quick, I have also used Apogee and Heidelberg's offering which is also very good (now). Stay away from Screen though, very poor and you will have very little say in...
