    Any Landa press news?

    Sorry Gordo, you're right they haven't put much in the events or press release side. They tend to do a lot of things in social media platforms but the front page of their site has a youtube video for the Edelmann installation. The other thing I would say is that most of their events are private...

    Any Landa press news?

    They actually have 2 in the field, and a perfector being installed in the US and another S10 in Europe. They have been sending out releases on this stuff and if you go on their site you can see the one installed in Europe at Edelmann. I can't get into details but I have seen it running sellable...

    LabelExpo Brussels

    LabelExpo US is pretty good to, our organization no longer bothers with Print or GraphExpo as we see it as a complete waste of time. LabelExpo and Drupa on the other hand are absolutely worth it. We find far more value in going to vendor demo centers in North America as the equipment we actually...

    Plate Remakes

    I think you're referrring to flexo plates based upon other posts you've made. I think everyone here is referring to litho plates. However, 38% is way too high, especially with the cost of flexo plates in comparison to offset litho. My shop produces around 500-600 flexo plates per month and I...

    How Do I Persuade The Management That We Need Colour Management?

    I thoroughly agree Chevalier, a majority of our customers want some type of certification. But none of them really know what any of this stuff means. Considering that you and I are both in packaging, I love the dirty little secret that none of these certifications really address spot colours...

    How Do I Persuade The Management That We Need Colour Management?

    In my experience, senior management doesn't really understand the benefits of any prepress software until you can quantify the benefits. With what you're talking about the quickest perceived benefit would be waste reduction. You should try and understand the cost of makeready both material and...

    Home Printers for printing onto small boxes?

    I guess technically you could do it with any cheap home printer but keep a few things in mind. 1) what is the sheet size of the printer (8.5 x 11) probably can't make the box that you have in your image. the unfolded blank would simply be too large. 2) are you planning on shipping in this box...

    Are eye marks only for web fed printers?

    Eye marks are also used for post press equipment after sheetfed offset. As an example, an eyemark may be used to trigger a labeller or used on diecutters with specific register features. It is true that the majority are likely used for web scenarios, but if you really want to know why then...

    I'm at a loss to explain this

    I think you have a scandanavian language set for your keyboard.

    UPC verification

    To answer Yooper's original question, yes my team uses an Axicon 6015 and it's great, but it has limitations. It all depends on which symbolygies you need to verify. Axicon is just fine for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13 and the standard stuff you see at the retail level. But as mentioned by chevalier...

    Folding carton software

    My organization uses both software packages mentioned. As far as I'm concerned they have strengths and weaknesses all based upon what you're trying to do. Also the arden package is quite good too, but it also has some weaknesses. To really answer the question fairly you need to describe what...

    DeskPack: Suite12 Rollout Date?

    My team has been running the plugins since they were released on Christmas Day. Found it to be pretty seamless with what we had before, we've been having issues with ARD files coming in, but this seems to be related to the CMS database and colours inside our CAD files. We had an interesting...

    UV printing on company form question...

    Kevin, I do this on a pretty regular basis, but I don't print forms. I do this for security features on packaging, it's not hard to do and you may want to look at anyone who does "security printing" so anyone who prints things like cheques can do this pretty easily. Best of luck, JL

    DeskPack: Suite12 Rollout Date?

    I'm getting mine next week. I think that it's officially launched but where you fall into the installation queue is the problem.

    Anyone try to use Canon W6400 ink in a Dupont Largo

    The Dupont Largo is a rebadged Canon wide format device. Dupont claims that it's special ink in unique cartridges. I'm not planning on using this printer for colour accuracy and wondering if anyone has ever tried to put a canon cartridge into this machine. I know that the cartridges have special...

    Printing Gurus Please help to identify the machine / technology. Thank you.

    I presume you are referring to a "Shrinksleeve" which is printed on a web press (likely flexo or gravure). My company produces these products and we do print this on a comco flexo press where we have done this both uv and waterbased. After the rolls are printed they are moved to a seaming...

    Linear plate scale mark

    Skinflint, My team does exactly what you're describing everyday with a flexrip. Just create this mark as as you would like to see it and rip a 1 BIT TIFF of the file with the particular dot shape and linescreen you would like, but make sure you send it with no curve. Then in Plato simply...

    Has anyone used ESKO server/tools from remote workstation.

    I do recall that we had to ensure that our VPN tunnel had specific ports opened due to the fact that the licensing information is on an obscure port number for TCP/UDP. As for what polyprint girl had to say, I'm pretty sure that sending a LEN file is no problem it's just the actual RIP and...
