Never understand management that doesn't understand the value of a service contract. Do they carry insurance for the plant? If prepress goes down the whole plant shuts down, much like if the plant burns to the ground and you don't have insurance. If Esko is working for you, I'd try to...

First off, make sure the spectros are calibrated and certified, then regularly validated. I have seen dozens of spectros that have never been calibrated (not the device calibration but calibrated by the manufacture to certify the readings.) Then make sure you have a validation plan to check...

Does anyone know the laminate observer that the X-rite i1i0 uses with the Esko Color Pilot for and HP digital press? The color pilot software doesn't seem to make that setting visible or changeable?

I have been knocking my head against the wall on this. I want to have an action that selects all objects that are defined as the spot color Die Lines, then set the trim of the page to that selection. I have tried numerous different setting, but nothing has worked. Help?

We asked our Kodak Plate guy about Sonora and he flat out said it's not for us right now. We run UV and Conventional, he told us the that UV was a problem for that plate system right now. We really like the idea of Sonora, but we have to be able to run UV.

Used both. Kodak Prinergy is far ahead. The Kodak Platesetters are bullet proof. BUT, you need the service contract with Prinergy. I have heard the horror stories too, but they always seem to end up being some one without a service contract expecting contract like service. Or some one...

How much time is require to manage EFI DSF? I know it's different for everyone. I'm an in-plant printer, 100-200 customers on site. Business cards, company collateral, custom print jobs uploaded from 20 different departments. We are doing about 625,000 pages a month on average, or about 3500...

Depends on the shop and the tools they have. We use a combination of stuff. Stray dots and minimum dots can usually be handled with the Flexo Plate (bump) curves that move everything from 1% up to the needed Min Dot. The workflow will most likely have a function to remove anything below 1%...

If you are buying the whole system, prinergy included. I don't see why you can't transfer the license if the other company is closing. Is the plate salesman from Kodak? If not, he's just blowing smoke to keep the business. If he is from Kodak ask to talk about this his upline or someone in...

In the InSite Administrator (webpage on the server) check that the workflow section has the Prinergy Job volume listed. Have you run the ICU on the InSite Server, this configures the InSite server to connect to Prinergy. In the Command Line on the InSite Server type ICU and follow the...

Kodak, the Squarespot head in the Kodak Platesetters is still the gold standard and no one has yet to duplicate it.

What troubling issue? Started with Prinergy 3 and now running Prinergy 6. Not having any issues at all. We are a commercial web, sheetfed and packaging printer.

PTI is keeping close to the chest. We're trying to evaluate if having a storefront for our implant is even worth it. Right now we are running Kodak Storefront for just a very limited amount of items. Got storefront in package deal to sweeten the pot a few years ago. So, as a possible...

Prinergy 6 has a new interface called Workspace. It needs some work and is very different. But it has A LOT of promise and will be the preferred interface in no time. Like anything change is hard, especially for prepress guys that just want things to work. However, the old workshop interface...

Everything, we have been a scitex/creo/kodak customer for as long as I can remember. Never had bad service, problems solved, support has been outstanding. We looking at a Nexpress, numerous software solutions, and technical services. Kodak is and has been the number one vendor on the list for...

I'm thinking this is going to backfire on Adobe to some degree. I would for a large corporation, this isn't a big deal for us. In fact, our IT will love it. Set cost, fees, easy to manage, etc, updates just happen. I feel it going to hurt the mid to small size groups that don't have IT...

I gave you a PDF, you should not have any problems at all. PDFs always ready for press.
