    Paper White M1 and M0 Differences

    Vernon, Have you considered talking to Jim Ross on the support desk? Can't think of a better guy to talk to about this within the Heidelberg ecosystem.

    Grey balance question

    Could it be you're talking dE Ch (Chroma)? Back at Heidelberg, we did a lot with mini-spots and tracking and adaptation of changes on the press. I can share a couple of ideas, hope they help a little. Information courtesy of Color Toolbox 2015 (nothing but good things to say about CTB): Chroma...

    FOGRA 39, GRACoL 2006, GRACoL 2013 Questions

    No Title Here's something (to be taken with a really large grain of salt), I was helping out another department with their cut sheet digital:

    FOGRA 39, GRACoL 2006, GRACoL 2013 Questions

    Great catch Gordo! As I have to straddle G7 and Fogra methodologies, I'm always interested in anomalies like these. I see the FRED data is taking bringing cyan, magenta and black to the same TVI area. Are we reducing black contrast by substituting cyan and magenta? This reminds me of the...

    Ink drying on un-coated stock...

    I had a customer in Houston who used an actual coating formulated for Uncoated papers. He said it was expensive but obviously cut down bindery delays and paid for itself. I could ask him what it was if you desire, I don't work at Heidelberg now but still have a friendly rapport with past customers.

    Need to talk to someone that moved from Rampage with Preps to Prinect.

    Akalaray above comes from working with Signa in a production enviornment, I worked in the field training on Signa, what are you questions?

    Silk screening vignettes

    Have you tried to turn off your linearization or calibration and output again? In my experience, that was typically caused by too many nodes on the curves, but your results may vary.

    Heildelberg DI 46-4 Classic - Work space needed

    4' all around should be good. I used to advise that on preinstalls. Happy to answer any questions like that as I've seen quite a few in my time at HDM. Mind you, I was prepress but ran a GTO-DI and understand the DI world.

    Heidelberg Quickmaster DI 46

    I've done pre-installations and installations on over 60 QMDI's when I worked at Heidelberg. Yes, it can be a good press if you do maintenance like any Heidelberg. Things to know: Replacement lasers are pricey - #1 reason that their resale is crap right now. Look into it, ask for them to show...

    G7 for spot colors?

    From my experience, colors below 1.6 density did well with 16% gain, and above 1.6 density fared better with 19%. I hope that makes sense (?).

    Primarys are out

    Check your densities, what are they? Just one job, all jobs? New stock? Yellow being high dE, too thin of ink film and optical brighteners coming through? Jimmy, give us more to work on.

    Landa gets money and delays delivery
