Prepress Software :: RE: Way to export multipage ID doc into single pages?
Just curious, are you wanting to export single pages so different people could work on different sections of the file? If so you might look into using VersionCue, I've never used it, never seemed to have a reason to, but it might be useful for your situation. good luck - Read More at This Link..

Graphic Design Forum :: RE: Corel X3 Version Problem
Since i think you designed the job, wouldn't it be better to use a percentage of a color, rather than using 100% of a color and have the program add mask, or what ever to make the color lighter. Transparencies normally cause problems in print, RIPS do not always handle them correctly. I recommend you avoid using them for print design. When you use a percentage of a color, you are being straight forward. A Transparency says Make it 100 percent color but not really. - Read More at This Link..

I can tell you from personal experience is that you should send out a flyer to the parents of the kids, and find out what each of them does for a living. Sometimes you get lucky. If not, then it is worth the little time and effort it took. Another way is to talk to a small to mid-sized printer and see if they will exchange personal money for company money. Often a church will look to get something for free. If you give them a personal check, get the tax write off, and have them cut a check back to the printer for the same amount. Its not free, but if you need a tax write-off, it helps - Read More at This Link..

To go back to the original question. What version of ColorTuner are you running? The latest Release version 5.4.1 should support all transparency elements of CS3. Also CGS is using their own rip engine. Which mostly is a good thing since it enables them to make necessary bug fixing/new features by them selves and usually very fast, but on the other hand it has a psychological efect on people while not beeing one of the major brands of rips. - Read More at This Link..

Most of the time no one can mark anything up 200%, much less 20%. As for insurance, a designer is only responsible to the proofing stage. Once a proof is made, it is the final customer that should sign off on the piece. Once signed, its the printers responsibility to match the proofs.

No, when a job strikes problems and requires a re-print (i.e. the client rejects it). For example, I had a job recently where a pic file slipped through that had been enlarged nearly 200% by accident. It wasn't picked up at proof stage but the client noticed it when the job was printed. If they'd rejected the job and demanded a reprint, I would have had to pay for that, as it was essentially my fault. Luckily they didn't. Another colleague of mine produced and printed an Annual Report for a client, and some of the head shots were later decided to be 'too green' by the client. The client rejected it, and the printer sa... - Read More at This Link..

In the beginning of the digital world around the 1980s is when the Rich Black term was born. Prior to that, a Black with a cyan bump was all that was needed for a really rich black or solid black. I believe that when the graphic computers came into play in the 80's, is when the term rich black was born and given to the computer generated blacks that were in a four color job. The dumb computers assigned four colors to the blacks automatically to maintain the four colors of the job, it even made the black text in a four color job, CMYK which caused allot of headaches. Some designers saw the four color black and dec... - Read More at This Link..

Hi. We have been running a Konica Minolta C6500 with the Creo IC-304 RIP for some time now and fairly happy with this combination of printer and RIP. In particular, the support that Creo has provided us for any RIP issues that we have experienced has been excellent. The IC-304 RIP is an excellent RIP. As for print counts, there isn't a counter in the RIP, however determining print start and stop times for a specific job is found in the job history log.

I'd give their service and support high marks, I handled the electronic prepress end, so I didn't mess too much with the supplies side. Also we had a veteran press operator who was really good.

You have to buy paint anyway, why not buy paint that is exactly what you need for an environment that is conducive to achieve predictable color? The paint I am recommending is a very light gray and could be considered an "off white". Think of it as an "off white" that does not have a color cast. There are so many variables regarding color and the more of them you eliminate, the more predictable your color will be.

The best thing to do is get a good icc profile, one that best represents the printing conditions/stock requirements for you job. Your printer might be able to advice you on this. The Coated and Uncoated FOGRA ISO standard iccs that install with Creative Suite software are pretty good for general offset jobs. However if you're looking for Newspaper profiles, you might want to download these from www.ifra.com. A good way to check the CMYK breakdown for these profiles is to load the profiel as the CMYK workspace in photoshop and create an RGB file and fill it with R=0 G=0 and B=0, then use the Info Panel ... - Read More at This Link..

Hi mazengh, Yes the i1iO is supported by Prinect Color Tools. With both, you will be able to generate your own ICC profiles. The rip would have to support ICC profiles to calibrate the proofer to a press sheet (printing target) or any other printing target, such as GRAChol as Steve mentioned. Does First Proof support ICC? If not, then you would need a proofing rip that does or stay with your current method. You can use profiles for your image or not, your choice. Prinect Color Tools also has a problem called Quality Monitor. This can be used to certify proofs, compare press sheet to press sheet, proof to... - Read More at This Link..

In my book, you are correct, because you can tell them what your CMYK numbers are for each color. We get in a lot of spot colors that need to be process, and many times they are all different. Many designers use many different versions of the same color, and many are different. What you need to do is become consistent. The only way to tell what your CMYK value is for each color is in the application. Yes, you do need them all to be the same. Easy example to show the others is that if you get a job in, and print it today, and then the same job you need to make minor changes to comes back a year from now. You ... - Read More at This Link..

Select your rectangle and then ungroup it (Modify > Ungroup). It becomes a closed path instead of a 'rectangle' at which point you can use the direct-select tool (the hollow arrow) to select individual points and move them as you wish. - Read More at This Link..

Digital Printing Forum :: Problem Rip/output some PDF, PDF Compression Problem
I am having issues outputting some PDF files and I am narrowing this down to compression settings (I Think). It seems like all the PDF files having problems are compressed using Zip Compression but if same PDF is run through PDF Optimizer and compressed as Jpeg they Rip just fine. What is this Zip Compression really and how does it compare to jpeg? Does this sound normal or familiar to anyone that Zip compression would cause files to NOT rip as opposed to jpeg compression used in pdf files? Also, I was reading about PDF/X standards, could it be that thi... - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: Resolution in Display and POP size graphics?
Hello, Welcome to the forums. We need web designers to help out on the webmaster forums here. There's plenty of print people but only a few web designers. At any rate, yes the images are OK at 100dpi (at final size). If you resize the images (resample) it will make them worse in most cases. Maybe you can use some graphics or backgrounds that will fill space so you can keep things at an appropriate resolution. I would recommend from 100 to 150 dpi and you can go as low as 72, but never lower than that. If you think about scale and distance of thi... - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: Career Advice
I completely agree with Shaikh. Keep doing the best job you can, regardless of what the title is. Remember, a title is what they give you when they can't or won't give you any more money. And money is a measurement of responsibility. (so is the size of your key-ring, btw.) Even if your current company doesn't recognize you're doing the best you can at your current job, another one will. _ -- Regards, John - Read More at This Link..

Graphic Design Forum :: Help with Printing Requirements
I've just published this in a different section of the forum, but I think it actually belongs here. ---------------------------- Hi, I'm new here. My area of expertise is actually web design but I've always done graphic design like logos, business cards, flyers, brochures, etc. I'm now working on a booth design for an exhibition and I'm struggling a little bit with the images. My concern is the size. I can't find images that are big enough to use and I know I can't resize the ones I have. I was wondering if when you print bigger files things are different.

if the object is vector (not too sure about a raster image placed) you shoud be able to use the direct selection tool and choose the point you want to move. adjust that point (either horizontally or vertically) and get your distorting that way. i know this works in illustrator but i can't promise anything in freehand. although my old and fading memory seems to think it should work. - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: looking for help with automation solution in Photoshop
Hi All, I work with PhotoShop all the time in a Preflight and Retouching capacity. Most of our clients do not even know what dpi is, so I spend a lot of time using PhotoShop and PitStop. Might I suggest that you take a look at a very useful Automator actions package 'Photoshop Automator Action Pack - 3.5'. I use it daily for many needed actions and it works with CS, CS2 and CS3, and as a bonus its Freeware, very well written with a concise manual easy to understand. You can download it in various places but here is one to save you time. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26569 Hope this help... - Read More at This Link..

To generate yellow highlighter in our classified ads we must assign RGB values in our Mactive system. The yellow density required results in cyan contaminant when the page has full CMYK separations. We've taken a look at Asura spotPLUGin module to remove it, but would be interested if anyone else has found a solution to removing unwanted color contamination from spot colors in page separations.
