Controling Ink Limit while using effects and stroke and etc.

Hello!
I've got intresting (for my opinion) and important question (for ones of printing press).
Usually there is restriction for Total Ink. Personaly for me it almost always 300. So it's if design or elements of it with overlay is made in Indesign then all those shadows, stroke with 100%K can produce much Total Ink.
For example you can have cyan:100%;yellow:100%;magenta:100%;black:0%. Now if above it is element with some color with stroke black:100% (default one) then Total Ink = 400!!! And it's enough if object itself with Total Ink to have stroke 100%K to make problems.
And, of course, all those effects can produce Total Ink much more that legit.
So, is there some normal way to control Total Ink in Indesign CS5? Or maybe there is something in CS6?
Thanks.
P.S. If question is hard to understand i can try to explain it some other way (english isn't my native language)

The choice of an output profile will control total ink for color conversions, but there is nothing in ID that prevents you from exceeding the limit with objects or colors you build in CMYK in the document. Nor is there a total ink flag in Live Preflight.
I think most printers would tell you that it's easier to contol a build with some percentage of black and reduced densities of  CMY (gray component replacement) than your 100/100/100/0 mix, so that's one thing you can try. It's also not much of a problem, or so I'm told by my printers, to exceed the ink limit by perhaps as much as 20% in a small area like a frame stroke, though I also try to avoid that.
It's easy to find areas of too much ink, though. Open the Transparency Preview panel and there is a Total Ink warning highlight available. It highlights total ink at or above the value set, so I would set it at perhaps 305% in your case.

  • Hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    First, I want to clear up some vocabulary issues. After Effects is not intended for editing video. Editing involves cutting shots together to tell a story. Premiere Pro edits video. While you technically can cut video together in AE, Premiere is much, much better for that.
    After Effects is used for creating shots - visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, animation, color correction, color grading, etc.
    What exact version number of AE (down to the decimal points) are you using? Plus the questions Todd asked, plus the info in the link he gave.
    Also, if you're new to AE, you should really start here. This resource will give you a foundation in how to actually use After Effects that will probably clear up your current problem and prevent much more frustration in the future.

  • SPNego Login fails while using MacOS 10.4 and Firefox

    Hello,
    we are running an EP6 NW04 SPS 19 on an HP UX. For authentification we
    configured kerberos via spnego. This is working fine for all windows
    clients and the browsers ie6, ie7 and firefox.
    While using Firefox on MacOS X it is not working. We analyzed the error.It is the following
    error message in the trace file:
    Decoding error in parsing of spnego token.
    [EXCEPTION]
    iaik.asn1.CodingException: ASN.1 creation error:SPNego OID expected.
    Found 1.2.840.113554.1.2.2
    As you can see, the mac client is sending the raw kerberos ticket. How
    does the WAS handles this ticket?
    Kind Regards,
    Oliver

    Oliver,
    The SAP SPNEGO login module supports OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.2 only, which is the OID for SPNEGO protocol, and this is why it is called an SPNEGO login module. It does not support other OIDS such as RFC1964 Kerberos V5 (1.2.840.113554.1.2.2) or NTLM (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.2.2.10). If you need to support other OIDS, and not just SPNEGO then you need to use a different login module. I can help you with that if you are interested since my company has a product (comprising a login module which uses Kerberos) which supports SPNEGO as well as other OIDS - it is not 100% SPNEGO based like the login module available from SAP.
    Thanks,

  • Mouse is very laggy while using trackpad, but click and right click are not

    This problem started yesterday.  While using the trackpad, the mouse became very laggy.  I stopped to see if a few minutes would help fix the problem, but the mouse kept moving sporadically.  I can click and right click fine and with no lag, but the mouse is either non responsive or extremely laggy.  The problem was infrequent at first, but now it is almost constantly there.  I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX version 10.5.8.

    Use the Toshiba application installer to reinstall the Touchpad driver.
    To find it search your laptop for Toshiba application installer and run it is will download and install all your drivers.

  • Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

    Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
    Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks.  Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time.  It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.).  In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second.  This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second.  Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly.  Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable.  Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen.  I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background.  Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks).  My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background. 
    I really don't understand:
    1.  Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file.  Even converting a single track takes a few minutes.  I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
    2.  Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking."  It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
    3.  Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running?  I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
    I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes).  However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer.  Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change.  I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

    Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
    As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

  • I have been trying to crop my grandson out of a picture and make him into an 8x10.  His face comes out fuzzy.  I have used effects buttons-sharpness, definitionm, etc with no good results.  Where should I go from there?

    Using I Photo I selected a photo of two people and tried to crop one out to make an 8x10 of that person.  Have tried numerouse times and have used the effects selection trying to make face clearer with no luck.  cropped photo is very fuzzy. 
    any suggestions or just give up?

    i dont have enough time to look closer right now, but im pretty sure that:
    flags & ABORTneeds to be two & not one... so like:
    flags && ABORT
    Nope, that isn't the problem here. & is the correct one to use.
    "&" in this case is a bitwise and, while "&&" would be the boolean shortcut and, which does an entirely different thing.

  • Blue box while using effects

    I've got 2 clips right now overlapped on my main clips on my timeline. They are green screen and I chroma keyed them to have a background. On one of the clips I had in front of a green screen I have solarize and stop motion. On the background I have four effects: dazzle, circles, trails and pond ripple. On the other clip I have in front of a green screen I have stop motion and on that background I have diffuse and overdrive.
    About halfway through these clips, the clips that I filmed in front of a green screen get tinted blue. I moved them both a little towards the bottom right corner, so I still see a little bit of the background fine.
    What's going on? There are two other clips exactly the same, but with different effects and they're not turning blue.
    Message was edited by: HerbertGJSB

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    When you open up the affected clip in the viewer from the browser, does it still get tinted blue at the same point? If so, it is likely a problem with the lighting or the camera.
    Also, make sure you have rendered everything out (Option-R).

  • Stroke and drop shadows on thumbnails

    Hi there. I'm trying to add a stroke and drop shadow to my lightbox thumbnails. While both appear perfectly in design mode, as soon as I view the site in preview or in a browser they both disappear. Do you know what the problem might be? Many thanks! David

    Hi David,
    I tested this with Composition Lightbox as well as with Slideshow Lightbox and stroke and shadow worked fine in both the cases. I applied the effects on the Normal State. Can you please confirm on what widget have you used and on what state have you applied the effects? Also, do you have a URL for us to take a look at?

  • ActiveX controls not downloaded when using Internet Explorer 10

    We have many legacy applications developed using ASP and VB(InterDev). Our organization is moving to use Internet Explorer 10 in the near future.
    We had a IE10 compatibility testing for our legacy applications and we observed that the applications using ActiveX controls are not working. Applications works perfectly fine with the older version of Internet Explorer.
    We looked for the various workarounds but we did not find any.
    Some application does nothing when we click on a button to generate the report but some applications throws the below error:
    <div id="x_x_imcontent"> <div style="font-size: 9pt; direction: ltr;">"ActiveX
    control failed to load! -- This control is required to use the Address Book and Attachment features.  Please check your browser security settings and/or contact PC Support to install the digitally signed control."</div>
    </div>
    We will be glad if we get any assistance on this issue.

    Hi,
    Please post your ActiveX feature testing scripts to the IE Web Developer forum.
    (f12>Debug tab, search for ActiveX.... you should be able to find code blocks where you are feature testing for your ActiveX controls eg var ourcontrol=new ActiveX('foobar');
    these code blocks will be the origin of the error messages that are injected into the page. (you can also search for where the "ActiveX control failed to load" string is in your code.)
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/home?forum=iewebdevelopment
    IE10 has ActiveX filtering.... a blue circle with a line through it appears in the Address bar if any ActiveX content is blocked by Tools>ActiveX filtering.
    IE10 has Enhanced protected Mode turned on by default in the Internet and Restricted Zones. I assume that you are mapping your test domain to the Intranet zone (where EPM is turned off by default and x32 bit controls are used.... if not you should see information
    bars asking for permission to run the 32bit activeX controls)
    Ensure you are using the Default IE security settings, (and also that you have applied the new admx files to your GPO and GPEdit control panels....)
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
    Ensure your test environment maps to the Intranet Zone (File>Properties) and that Enhanced Protected Mode is turned off for that zone (Security tab of Internet Options)
    Ensure that your ActiveX controls are enabled (Tools>Manage Addons>Show all Addons) and that they have the correct permissions..... find them in the Addons manager and then click the item in the list to display their properties and permissions... at
    the bottom of the Addons Properties there is a textarea with "You have approved this addon to run in the follow websites"... you testing and production domains should be listed.
    For the best solutions/answers you should probably open a support ticket at support.microsoft.com so a support engineer can access your testing environment and do some tests.

  • Question while using report /SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL

    Hello all,
    While using Report /SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL and going through system documentation, I found that:
    "Normally, the order data remains in the database (it is not deleted as in live Cache)."
    From the above statement I am assuming that data gets deleted in live cache on a timely basis, Can someone please let me know how frequently the data gets deleted in live cache?
    Thanks for your time,
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    There is no specific frequency for data getting deleted from the live cache.
    It depend on the transactions which are taking place in R3 and APO.
    For eg. Sales orders create a requirement in the R3 which is transferred to APO.
    Now when this sales order is delivered, the requirements gets deleted from R3 and similarly from APO livecache. But this information does not get deleted from the APO database tables.
    So this report is used to delete R3 document data that is no longer required in APO.
    Cleaning of the database tables in APO leads to better performance.
    So as a best practice, this report should be scheduled to run weekly.
