    Need more info on your issue. What is the resolution of output? What LPI? What is your output device? Are you seeing the banding all they way thru 0%-100%? Are the Bands about the same thickness? By the way Rugby dot is not a great dot shape because of the lack on angles. You want to find the...

    Imagine that...

    It's very simple.. If you don't think they are doing the job you want them to do.. Stop paying support and go somewhere else.. But I agree with you.. The Adobe delay is totally BS. They could have had a prerelease of 2015 6-7 months ago. With Adobe going to CC style upgrades they have been...

    Imagine that...

    I understand that it can be frustrating. But you must realize that you work in a production environment and your goal should not go out and install everything that is new. 2nd, like most developers their not only updating their products for an OS release, they are adding features, fixing bugs...

    I guess this is personal thing.. But as Matt said this is very easy to fix with Pitstop when you preflight your PDF. You are preflighting your PDF right?

    Looking for a new prepress workflow...any suggestions (good and bad)?

    Lester, Esko can do all that with out even thinking twice.. Esko aka AE is an automating machining. AE does not have a great built in Impo stoftware.. I still think it's best to create your JDF imposition templates using 3rd party Software. But once you create your JDF templates you can...

    Looking for a new prepress workflow...any suggestions (good and bad)?

    Lester.. All those items that you want you can be done with Esko Automation engine.. Stephen Marsh.. You are exactly right that this is becoming more about automating. This is one feature that both Esko and Kodak blow out the others.

    Looking for a new prepress workflow...any suggestions (good and bad)?

    I will chime in with my 2 cents.. I think all of the RIP's have strong points and week points. You first need to prioritize your needs and wants. If price the biggest factor then it's XMF all the way. Your not going to find a product that's great at all of them. Granted great for one shop could...

    So is ArtPro+ the new…

    Your are correct Artpro+ is based on the unified PDF editor.. I got to play with it at Esko World.. They are moving in the right direction. From what I'm told Neo will be replaced in 14-18 months give or take 6 months :) Expect limited updates :( They still have lots of work getting Artpro stuff...

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    There are many things that can effect the difference in proofs because of rip manufactures and settings. It can be quite complex is trouble shooting and at times requires access to the customers RIP. In this case I knew we were both using the same rip. Since the PDF that was supplied was a PDF...

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    The Test wedge does not tell you the whole story. In my case above their wedge passed.. Yes the wedge is needed when troubling shooting. But it's not the be all end all.

    Our proof is Gracol, their proof is Gracol, and neither match

    Another thing that can effect the difference in proofs is to see if both proofing rips are set to honor profiles? This can have a huge effect in color. We recently had the same issue. Customer supplied proof differed greatly from ours. After looking into the issue, the result was they were...

    Deskpack and Illustrator CC2014 - Waiting on Esko, AGAIN!

    I could not agree more. If people don't see a visual change in an update they assume not much has been changed. I fight that with our internal staff..

    Deskpack and Illustrator CC2014 - Waiting on Esko, AGAIN!

    When I said 'bad about Dates" I'm Referring to you guys publicly stating a date on when the new version in coming out. You complained that apple gives this "Fall" I don't know of many companies that announce a new version 6-9 months out and give a more exact frame. Now enfocus is much better...

    Deskpack and Illustrator CC2014 - Waiting on Esko, AGAIN!

    How is this like any other product. Both esko and Enfocus are bad about their dates.. We here Q3 or December that turns our to be February. Yes, I would rather have a product that gets released with as now bugs so I understand not stating a date. What I want to see is more of a public statement...
