Thanks gordo, yes I guess it is me sticking my two cents in, just thought I could help by asking questions. At least you made me laugh have a good one thankyou, gman

Gordo, thanks for your reply, I understand your answer and gave this answer to the pressman having the problem. The problem is he (pressman) did not grow up in printing. He has been involved for 20 yrs., more or less and whatever he learned was on his own. He does however figure things out for...

When appling AQ why does it take out the magenta (lessens the color) Gman

Plategirl, everyone has an ego...but I used to tell the people leave your bad ego's at the door and put the good ego's in your job! Doesn't work all the time but the work did get better. Also have everyone throw there ideas on the table find which one works the best. Regards

Gregg, this is why we used to get the person on the presscheck bombed before the check...of course this was in the 80's

Prepresscolor, thanks for the input, meetings are out, shop way too small plus not enough time. I'm just going to log everything in on the mistakes we make and how I think we could remedy them. Maybe if the owner sees how many mistakes maybe then he'll listen. Please keep in mind the owner knows...

Got 40 years in the trade and the owner refuses to consult me about printing jobs. I let him fail against my better judgement and yet he still don't learn. Its really hard to do everything the hard way, it still gets done but it could be done faster and get more jobs out.

anybody know about the Epson Stylus Pro 7600.

Lucas, lately we've been pretty lucky. mac operater has been working with me trying to change the curves ourselves. whatever he is doing my density numbers on press have been going up as of today. work looks better, not flat, ink has been more consistent. Regards gman p.s. we do have an xrite...

Lucas, I appreciate your advice, however we as a small shop struggling to survive don't have all the tools we need. Our desitometer does not measure dot gain. Everything is visual. We are in need of tools but cannot afford. The steps we take have to be slow and sure and cost affective for the...

jackie, yes we did change plates to thermal kodak. i don't believe the machine was set up correct. printed a scale on the side of a job and i'm reproducing the dot i'm given no gain,however my 35% looks like a 50% and the 50 looks 60-70%.

turbotom, we have an older ebson proofer that doesn't print with a dot. proofs seem to be o.k. or within reason. we included a scale on the plate but outside the image so not to be in the way of the work. i'm reproducing the same size dot the plate is giving me, however the 35% screen looks like...

Jackie, Nothing was calibrated, bought used ctp system. It was ink solids I'm talking about. Right now the computer operater and I are trying different curves so I'll be able to run more ink on the press sheet. Running low ink everything looks flat. We're accomplishing alittle with the curves...

running a 4/c gto 52 can't seem to run my numbers where they should be. this has happened ever since we went ctp. numbers are k-90, c-50, m-50, y-70. at these numbers my colors go up and down throughout the run. happens to both coated and offset papers. making me look foolish. keep telling the...

Check back cylinder make sure its not picture framed from old ink

can't tell ya when I last saw 40 hrs. really bad here but anything could happen good or bad.

Due to printing being as little as is here in northeast, (conn.) our hours went from 40 to 35 and I'm certain they're going down to 32...anyone else have this...gman

the guy who runs our QM has been running it for 10 years. He has no problems running anything, from NCR to envelopes. keep up with the maintenance and you could run it all.
