Hey folks looking into possible use for Equinox. Anyone using it in their workflows?
Yes, we currently have a cust. using extended color scheme or recipe color for spot and process label work...I would put their success at 75 to 80% depending spot color requirement, substrate press conditions and most importantly client tolorance.
thanks for your response. We have another vendor looking into printing this way and has reached out to us in regards to Equinox.
Resurrecting this thread, we are looking into preparing files for extend gamut printing and I was wondering what systems are available to automatically convert PDFs with normal CMYK process + various Pantone's to a PDF using a extend gamut colour set. We would not be printing the files themselves, they would be supplied to third party printer of our customers choice.
Would Equinox do the this?, do you have to be a 'colour scientist' to use it and are there any other alternatives out there ? Thanks
I just heard a major prepress company in Belgium has ripped out Equinox and are demanding a refund. Has anyone else made the fatal mistake of falling for Esko's marketing hype? Funny how there hasn't been any posting on it for over a year? Also, their Photoshop 7-color plug-in will only run in CS3 or 4. WTF...?

Assuming you paid 40-50k, where's the value in only using Equinox for a 'few' customers.
