Hello Seeking Knowledge, thanks for the reply and sorry for my late response. More than 2/3 of our work is fluted material. So sounds like we are in for a challenge. The Durst will have the “skies” but like you said probably means running with a bigger print gap which means fine type starts to...

Anybody out there using a P5 350 Durst? Wondering how it runs B-flute that has a bad curl to it.

Just bring the numbers within range! Problem solved. I have no idea hove to "bring the numbers within range" please enlighten me...

I think it may be my lack of enough RAM. There is a 1.12 gig file and a 2.16 gig file placed in my ai file.

Have you tried bringing the numbers within range? That is my question "what number is out of range"

I am trying to save a .ai to a pdf and am getting this warning/error (acrobat pdf file format is having difficulties. A number is out of range). Anybody ever see this?

""I am not sure why you would need fonts on your die file." When I mentioned fonts I was speaking to a color legend at the bottom of the file. Some of the dies we need may have 3 or 4 different functions (cut - crease - perf - cut score). A company I worked for in the past had that as part of...

Thanks to all that responded. All helpful information!

What are the general guidelines to follow when making a file for a "Steel Rule Die". I'm guessing the file is opened in some sort of CAD program. From what I'v been told it's something like this. 1) All fonts must be outlined 2) All lines must be solid (stylized lines are bad) 3) Use different...

Anybody know how to get into the right place on the Hard Drive to delete files that are stuck in the que (won't stop printing the same thing).

We call it "under the bus" around here. I'm there a lot...

The only time I have seen that is from rookies... It gets worse with this customer... you should see how they build swatches.

Appears there is nothing in the InDesign preflight profile to flag this type of situation.

Yes thats what Im going with. What was copied and pasted did not have an extension so the rip didn't convert the image properly (U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2.

If I select the image in InDesign it does not show up in the links pallet. Looking at the preflight (InDesign preflight) it shows up as "Graphic". Our epson is way off to the press sheet. Anyone know how I can explain this? Thanks!

I've never liked the results when pasting gradients from some vector program into Photoshop -- I've always gotten better results by actually recreating the gradient from scratch in Photoshop DCurry, you are correct. Much better result by recreating the gradient in photoshop. Lesson learned...

Gradient is 0-15. I guess they want to put it on using the gradient the way it was supplied. Should be interesting... Ulrich, thanks for your input on the photoshop work-a-round

Anybody ever copy and paste a Gradient from InDesign into Photoshop? I'm doing this to combat the banding i'm seeing in the gradient (adding noise in photoshop). Seems to help but this is being run on our screen press and I'm a little out of my element with this.

entrepreneurs do it because they have considered (at least so I hope) that the "free" will pay back. Around here the entrepreneurs (sales people) are constantly asking for one off's. I guess there trying to impress their customer with samples that they can compare against what they are already...

Also do you need what they print to match what you print? If so, what color management practices do you use? You'd need them basically to use the same. Anybody out there use Epson's as a contract proof for large format inkjet work? What if all printers used a epson as a starting point?
