The early Freeflow RIPs can't be upgraded. If your RIP has a curved front door, then it's an old one. If it's got a flat front, then there's no reason why it can't be upgraded.

You can make the earlier fiery (NT based) systems see more ram. Easiest if you have the FACI kit installed but still possible if not. The fiery hard drive is partitioned into 3 partitions (C D and E) If I recall correctly the C is a primary boot that then boots off the D - might be wrong...

looks like a calibration issue - when you calibrate, click on expert mode and view the measurements vs target - the measurements should be a sweeping curve that is above the target in all but the lowest numbers (~<10) - if the measurment curve(s) are wobbly or not high enough then the printer...

Is there bleed in the original file - if so set the bleed value to what is is the file

Calibrating with the Fiery tools is only going to calibrate jobs that you print through the fiery. Calibrating the copier, using the copiers tools mode should calibrate the printer for jobs that are copied 'off the glass' If the copiers calibration doesn't work, then there are things that the...

For best performance I'd avoid transparency effects, especially on variable elements. You could use Transparency on static elements but for best performance I would pre-flatten these - i.e. create all your static elements in Indesign(or whatever) then export the entire static elements on the...

Creo have only recently started making more complete drivers for Macs - in the past they only ever had the PPD. I can't see any reason why you just can't use the ppd when you create a driver. The PPD may have some internal references to PDE's (print dialog extensions) so you may have to edit the...

Have you tried formatting the image disk? 99 out of 100 image problems with Creo RIPs are usually fixed by doing this.

several problems in XMPie when attaching to database (csv) files - if it "sees" the number as a number it will drop the leading zero. I usually create a 'dummy' first record with text everywhere where I want text to be recognised, XMPie will then treat all fields in that position as text...

One way to fix the problem, which will work with all printer drivers, is to copy some of the files from a 10.6.7 mac to 10.6.8 the files in question live in /usr/libexec/cups/backend this is a hidden directory but you can get there using the finders go to folder command (command-shift-g) If...

what RIP do you have If Fiery - try expert colour setting and changing cmyk setting to either Quick or Use source GCR If Creo - make sure that you're not using any UCR/GCR settings

from memory the fierys usually partition ram for the system and for the rip. Usually it;s the rip that gets the extra ram. I am going back a bit so this might not apply to the newer rips, but on the C: partition (I think) there used to be a boot.ini file which had a setting in it called maxram...

Would have to agree that the Creo rips handle VDP jobs better than any other rip on the market - for any printer supplier! However I am surprised that the Fiery is taking so long on these jobs. Perhaps it has something to do with the way the VDP jobs are being created? I'm more familiar with...

You can change the preferences in Acrobat to show overprint for all PDF's not just PDF/x

Although Lion doesn't ship with a Java runtime, in that it is not installed by default, as soon as you try to install/run a Java app then a Java runtime will be downloaded. I have run several Java apps in Lion with no problems (once the runtime has been downloaded) Only issue I have had so far...

What RIP do you have with your 700?

Do you mean Output Preview which was accessed through Advanced/PrintProduction/Output Preview? If so then you now access it via Tools (in tool bar top right of window) Print Production/ Output Preview Why Adobe had to change this (for the worse in my opinion) I don't know

Calibration with a fiery EXP5000 rip on the DC5252 is usually done with a Spectrophotomer (the efi EF1000 which is an iOne with a different label) Select Manage Colour from the Server Menu then there is a calibration selection. In that you have to select EF1000. Don't think you can use colorcal...

not sure if the earlier fierys have this, but on the later fierys if you use a web browser to navigate to the rip (enter the ip address of the rip into the browser url address field) - on the later rips there is a check for updates link (usually on the last page (right hand tab) this will...

There should be a network cable between the printer and the Fiery box - usually a cross-over cable. If this is not there you will not get scanning working. When you go to network scanning, click on the refresh templates button - if there is communication with the rip, the templates will be...
