Last time I had to work with wet proofs is 20 years ago, color matching was allways an issue, in my opinion because the wet proof was made on a proofing press (2 color) and the actual production was done on a 5 colour machine. On a proofing press you can obtain a better result, ink can dry...

Thank you all for your input. At this moment I can only get a Pdf by retying several times and being patient, so far this is working but taking time. Will investigate further.

Hi collegues, Since about a month I am facing difficulties when trying to print a separation from a PDF file. Normaly I open a Pdf file of a print job which includes CMYK, die cut, hotfoil, emboss layers etc. I deselect all layers (in fact colors) that I do not need, chose size and quality...

Ha! That's a good one! After the USA the Netherlands is the biggest food export nation in the world, by now we have 17 M inhabitants + 12 M pigs, 100 M chicken 2 M cows, in such a tiny country imagine the smell of ammonia, methane etc. .... :(

Hi Engin and Gordo, @ Gordo: thanks for your reply in this. Going back to my initial question: veggie based ink is on the whole a better choice than led-UV ink although I will need less energy and have less waste material with UV? I want to see it as a whole picture. Secondary question: FM and...

Hi Klorzeiger, suche mal auf cold foil, auch in der Schweitz gibt es firmen die dich vielleicht auf dem weg helfen könnten, (auch digital ist es heute schon ganz gut möglich, ich habe das gesehen bei Ricoh), zbs. http://www.groupdoc.ch/de/portfolio/drucksachen aber das ist nur der erste hit in...

Hi all, I have been asked to look into the possibility to use bio ink for our print productions, in combination with FSC paper it will give us our company a "environmental responsible" green image :). Now I'm not printing myself, so i have to get my main printer to get enthusiastic with this...

Have you looked at "Memjet"?

Thanks for you reply MailGuru!

Well, we have always outsourced offset printing and every 3 years or so I do a benchmark to see what potential vendors charge for the offset package, easy money to earn on the buying side. Now I have been asked by my company to do the same for the Digital productions but I have no historic data...

Hello everyone on Print Planet, Ii recent years I have seen the prices for offset printing only going down because of the cutthroat competition. What is the position of digital printers, is there anyone who has information, preferably in a diagram, about price developments in digital printing in...

Ask your hot foil supplier which foil is appropriate for foiling on laminate, it has to do with the release time of the foil from it's carrier layer.

Hi all, until now all of my offset printing jobs are done on a 5 color machine with dispersion, with "normal" ink on both coated and uncoated stock (250-330 gram). I am thinking about the possibility a new supplier is offering to me, all of my jobs (+/- 20 weekly, 4/4, aver. 3.000) done on a 8...

Can try it, but on my system it's on automatic and i have no problems so i don't think it has anything to do with it. I'll let you know what comes out. There is a lot to find on the net about landscape and portrait problems but not specific about this issue. For now we will use the solution...
