Dear Michael Jahn. My goal is to create a workflow in our prepress server in which I would be able to execute a command line to perform an x3d image. This would allow to automatically show potential out of gamut images from a specific destination profile. In addition, it is also an educational...

Many thanks for your quick,clever and helpful answer. I never wrote I don't want to buy a software at all while I systematically buy them when it is required. And I'm the first one to pay which is not always the case for others. Anyhow, the fact is I'm looking for a "free" tool I could integrate...

Good morning, good afternoon, depending your timezone. I was wondering if someone could suggest a CLI CMM which would allow to compare an image within a ICC (RGB or CMYK) gamut. I already know software available for such request. But I'm looking for a free alternative. I’m tested Argyll CMS and...

I work for nine month now at home with different remote tools like VPN+RDC or CITRIX. The former has been a little bit frustrating due to the available bandwith. But the latter works incredibly well like if I was in front my tools in the prepress room. Nobody mentioned it so far, but the most...

Thank you Steve. But these paint manufacturer are not available in France, unfortunately. That's why I was considering a RAL which is German but usually common in France too. Best.

Hello Gordo, In France we do. It's one of the most popular way to find a dedicated paint sample for various uses (wall, auto, etc.). I'm going to find your suggestion, even I'm also confident to the fact RAL 7004 seems closer than the 9022. Best.

Dear all, My company is going to construct a new building in which we’ll have a new prepress room. It will be intended for proofs and visual assessments. We already have a Wall Illuminator, plus several medium viewing booth. The goal now is to give a paint reference for the rooms wall. I...

Good point indeed, Gordo. Colleges and university are obviously the ideal place to learn the basics and the deeper technical aspects. But IMHO, I also too often saw dedicated donated software solution in these fields. And I confess I don't know what to think about it. Is it better or worse for...

Hey Gordo, I hope you're doing fine. I agree your assumption even if I doubt people have such time and knowledge to do so nowadays. I saw, the last past years, a lot of missing skills in the prepress field especially due to the automation. I don't know who or what to blame. But, so far, time...

Dear Bob, did you mean we are obliged to accept these tolerances by default? If I understand well, D50 equal 5000 K but 5000 K doesn't equal D50? Axel

Hello Rich, indeed! Some are ok and the others not. And definitively, yes: the tubes on my several booth are all up to date.

Dear all, I experience some problems with different light indicators like : PANTONE® LIGHTING INDICATOR Stickers PIA/GATF RHEM Light Indicator Ugra/Fogra light indicator Each one appears slightly different under the same light. E.g. with a colorCommunicator and fluorescent tubes 5000 K...
