That's a good idea, thanks. I was just about to say that I don't see any way to export the tiff from the rip. I'll try poking around on the hard drive. You're right, they have to be somewhere one would think.

So I went to order plates for our Presstek Vector machine, and was asked "didn't you get the letter"? Apparently they don't make them anymore and no other plates work on that machine. Mad dash to figure out how to stay in business... We found someone who can make plates for us while the boss...

I'm looking for a way to convert PMS 877 logo (though named something ridiculous) to grayscale within a full color piece. I can convert it to CMYK using the built in features, but I want it grayscale as its CMYK equivalent is a terrible to hit color. I know this is ok to do because the customer...

Looking for a suggestion for scoring our digital work. We currently still use litho-score on an offset press, but that does a mediocre job with a non-negligible set up. Small runs of maybe 50-500 cards. We only do this a handful of times per week. Ideally we get one of those automated...

I'm sure we've all seen some interesting problems, so I thought we could have a little fun with this thread. Since these are solved problems maybe we can learn a little something. Here's mine: Buckslips for a customer that we've done for at least a decade which would always crash the RIP. I...

1. Open the preflight window 2. (in that window) Click on Options --> Create New Preflight Profile 3. Give it a better name than "New Profile"... something like "Check differing page sizes" 4. (on the left) click on "pages" 5. (on the right) click "Page size or orientation is different..." 6...

As describe above: Indesign with a data merge from a spreadsheet of numbers is exactly how I do it. Google for a font called CrashNumberingGothic too. That font at a point size of 20 looks exactly like the crash number wheels, and it's free. Of course you can use any font you want, but it's...

I won't call you a noob, perhaps just a touch arrogant in the first post :P I'm the newb, since I didn't know you could make plates on a digital press. "Oh, what will they think of next". Actually, I might have heard and dismissed it. Anyway, it doesn't sound like background scatter on the...

It perfects 2/2, yes. I don't know. Litho Score #827. Between the blanket and back cylinder (unit 4), off impression, you can't even tell the score is on when you run a sheet through. We could probably take off enough blanket / back cyl pressure to not tell there is a score while it's on...

We score on the back cylinder of unit 4 on our GTO; since it is the easiest place to get your hands. The transfer cylinder never comes into play.

Yes, the registration is not so good. I'm a bit upset with that too. If you shave the paper all the way around it gets significantly better. That's what I've taken to doing on a registration critical job. I guess that's the paper's fault, not the machine's. You'll then need to compensate...

I should have said the consensus above. I wasn't talking about your post. I think we're saying the same thing from different angles. Regardless, the OP is satisfied.

What was said above is correct. (mac experience here, not enough PC work to know this for sure) If the name was NEVER changed it will default to the file name. If it was EVER changed, it will remember the old name. Same thing goes for paths. NEVER=Current Directory, EVER=Last used...

All comments below assume a printing company paradigm. Speed is it. We JUST leased the 7000. I'd go with the 7000 if you can't afford the 8000. From a print production standpoint speed is crucial for making money. We still find the 7000 to be a little slow for some applications. Remember...
