Hello,
We have just launched an enveloppe printing activity.
We use a HALM press with a HALM CTP which is a Glunz & Jansen iCTP
So far, everything is OK.
What we would like to do now is the regroup two or more enveloppe PDF on a sole set a plates
We only receive PDF files to print the enveloppes...
It would be easy to fill a plate with two and sometimes more enveloppe PDF.
That would let us spare a lot of plates !
What we are looking for would be a software were we would set once for all the plates and printer/ctp specs.
So we would have to load PDF1, PDF2 and maybe PDF3 and position each of these "on" the plate.
One last thing is that because we deal with enveloppes visuals, a PDF could be placed on "top of the other" because between two logos of the same enveloppes (one on top and the other on the bottom of the env) there is often free space that could be "used"
We though of using InDesign but have a question here...
Say we receive PDF1 from customer 1 and PDF2 from customer 2...
The 2 PDF were made on different system and may not share the same ICC profile...
What we fear would be to "change" one or both colors on the outputed PDF (the one with the two visuals)
It may be something realy easy to deal with or not but as we are TOTAL newbies here, we would be glad to hear your recommandations !
Anyway, thanks a lot.
Frank
