  • Frequently Asked Prepress Questions
    Frequently Asked Prepress Questions What file formats do you accept? PDF only. That is the only format our workflow will accept. What is a PDF? PDF (or Portable Document Format) is a cross platform file format that anyone can read and print from any computer. PDFs are an excellent format for sending file to commercial printers. What are the most common problems with PDFs? A well made PDF is an amazing document. All the elements necessary for printing are contained in the PDF. It is compressed, making it easy to send electronically and it keeps its integrity so that what you see on your moni- tor is what will print on the page. However, not all PDFs are well made. The most common problems in creating PDFs for printing are: • Fonts are not embedded. This can cause output software to convert one font to another. • RGB color is used. This will cause output software to convert colors. • Low resolution photos are used. This affects reproduction quality. How do I create a PDF? It depends on the program you are using. We can supply print and export settings for commonly used programs. How do I get my files to you? Once your PDF is ready, you can use our FTP server to upload it to us. Each of our customers have their own dedicated, password protected, partitions on our server. If you are a new customer, you will receive instructions on how to upload files. How do I set up my publication for mailing? Postal regulations are very specific and often very confusing.

  • List of the Main Brands of RIP (Raster Image Processor)
    updated AUGUST 2002 List of the Main Brands of RIP (Raster Image Processor) RIP Software including Adobe PostScript to provide additional options for operating your large format printer Wasatch Rip Booth at Cebit Trade Show, Hannover. FLAAR REPORTS 1 Comprehensive List of RIP Hardware and Software The following list of RIPs is based on gathering data over the last two years. RIP companies come and go, merge or go bankrupt. Thus we recommend you stick with a well known RIP. If you need to know what a RIP does, and why you need it for a large format printer, then ask for Nicholas Hellmuth’s FLAAR Report: RIP+Help: general introduction: quick-start list of the best RIPs which we recommend; hints for what accessories you need; list of where you can get books and training, plus general information on the care and feeding of your RIP. The following list is relatively complete but there are so many RIPs we have not listed them all. For RIPs that we know and trust we have added contact information. The purpose of these reports are to provide basic information so everyone has the same level of knowledge. In years gone by, few people published the full story about digital imaging products. The result was that thousands of companies made their decision on what to buy exclusively from the hype generated by PR agencies. It’s amazing that more buyers did not realize how little they were being actually told about the products they paid thousands of dollars for. If you go back to ads for RIPs in 1996 through 1998 to 1999, it is a wonder there were no lawsuits for false or misleading advertising (or at least for failure to disclose the features that the product was NOT capable of).

  • Automated Ctp Calibration for Offset Printing – Dot Gain Compensation, Register Variation and Trapping Evaluation
    Linköping Studies in Science and Technology Dissertation No. 1673 Automated CtP Calibration for Offset Printing – Dot gain compensation, register variation and trapping evaluation Shahram Hauck Department of Science and Technology Linköping University, Norrköping, Sweden Norrköping, 2015 Automated CtP Calibration for Offset Printing – Dot gain compensation, register variation and trap- ping evaluation © Shahram Hauck, 2015 Department of Science and Technology Campus Norrköping, Linköping University Sweden ISBN 978-91-7519-061-7 ISSN 0345-7524 Printed by LiU-Tryck, Linköping, Sweden, 2015 To BIRGIT and DARIUSH ABSTRACT Although offset printing has been and still is the most common printing technology for color print productions, its print productions are subject to variations due to environmental and process parameters. Therefore, it is very important to frequently control the print production quality criteria in order to make the process predictable, reproducible and stable. One of the most important parts in a modern industrial offset printing is Computer to Plate (CtP), which exposes the printing plate. One of the most important quality criteria for printing is to control the dot gain level. Dot gain refers to an important phenomenon that causes the printed elements to appear larger than their reference size sent to the CtP. It is crucial to have the dot gain level within an acceptable range, defined by ISO 12647-2 for offset printing. This is done by dot gain compensation methods in the Raster Image Processor (RIP). Dot gain compensation is however a complicated task in offset printing because of the huge number of parameters affecting dot gain. Another important quality criterion affecting the print quality in offset is the register variation caused by the misplacement of printing sheet in the printing unit.
