We are using Monoco Profiler with the XRite DTP70 spectro.

As a printer, I can't resist chiming in here. Yes, using Photoshop for a two color job that is line art and text is definitely not the way to go. For printing, use Photoshop for images. In the spot color world, that would be duotones, tritones etc. Compose your page in InDesign (best) or...

We were using some curves on our plates and proofs that our major pre press vendor had set up years before that no one here understood. I still don't know what logic or system they were based on, or if they even were based on any real, measured data. That is part of the key of making G7 work...

We have been using the G7 process for 2 years now and even though our shop does not run in ideal conditions, it has made a HUGE difference. We have not had our press sheet certified, only our proofs. But despite that, our printing is much better (less problems with too red in our case) and we...

A picture might help! A picture might help! Hello again. Just thought a picture would help. This is a scan of our output. Even if there is no answer, I'd really like to know what is going on with the RIPs for digital presses. (scan is 300 dpi of printed output, but you'll see what I mean) Tina

Hi, thanks for that info. We are pretty much opposite, mostly all PDF and InDesign. We see fewer and fewer customers using Quark. I just got the printer driver working correctly with help from Xerox tech support. Tried printing from Acrobat and printing from InDesign, and after seeing your...

I haven't been able to get the printer driver to work. I've tried on both a Leopard and a Tiger Mac. They both just sit there saying the Printer is Busy and will try in 10 seconds. It's not busy and nothing ever happens. I am having trouble finding documentation on the Xerox site. Also, I never...

I just installed the DocuColor 240/250 driver from the Xerox support site and it said it was not compatible with my machine (which I connected to via IP address). Driver version 7.1.1-447. I guess I need to go back to an older version. I would like to try this before installing CWS 5. I'll just...

Can you clarify how I would print to this RIP with a print driver? No such workflow was set up with our install and it does not show up when I browse for printers. Would I make it an IP printer? Can you suggest a PSL3 driver? I would really like to try this, but I need some direction. Is there...

Both good suggestions. I agree, it could definitely be the RIP. I've looked at the RIPped data in it's Imageview (EFI Command Workstation 4.4.0.48), and there is a marked difference between the vector and raster there. I have PDFs of that too, using different printer screen modes (also made no...

Hi, thanks for taking this on. You are talking about the stair stepping problem in gradients? I mentioned that as secondary evidence that these devices are not really the high resolution that the vendors say they are. The stair stepping happens even with gradients created in InDesign that are...

We are having a big frustration with digital presses and the way that some vector graphics print. As "old-timers" in this business, we are used to the way that vector graphics are rasterized at the resolution of the device (usually 2400 in the case of the filmsetters and platesetters we're used...
