Problems with color matching when printing...

Hi, I work for a small family business in the P.O.P. industry. We currently have myself and one other designer, we both take illustrator files that have come from the graphic design firm that we contract with and get them ready to print on our Vutek QS3200. However ever since acquiring the printer we have begun to run into problems with the colors when printing. When the files are exported off of my computer, I use either .tif or .pdf files, they print as they should, the colors seem to match the proof and everything goes smoothly. However when the other designer exports a file, he tends to do mainly pdfs, the colors tend to be extremely different from where we want them. Also we will get very strange results, such as yesterday he kept getting a faint yellow 1/2" border around his prints. After I believe 3+ hours of him trying, I was given the original CD and instructed to try. After 15-20 minutes of making the changes that we needed to make (adding a new price point) and ripping, mine printed perfectly.
We both use Macs, both have CS3 Design standard, only differences between the computers are mine is newer and a bit faster, and I'm running OS 10.5.6 and he has 10.4. He has also at some point loaded various color profiles, whereas my CS package is just whatever the default is when I loaded it. When we were being trained he grabbed the color profile off of the Colorburst RIP server and loaded onto his computer, plus I believe he has a couple for freelancing purposes on there as well. My thought is that these profiles are somehow corrupting the files that are going through that computer, but I honestly am lost with it at the moment. He believes the problem lies within the fact that he does not have the newer OS, I honestly cannot see that as having any effect on this at all. I was wondering if anyone has run into any similar problems, or if anyone might have any advice on this issue? I would really like to be able to solve this, as I was hired to do mainly structural design for the P.O.P. and I'm having to put in a lot of overtime to get my work done along with the additional work that I'm having to do.
Thanks for your time

I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers. First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem. I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ). I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem. But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application. My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ). Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely. If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption. This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings. Start there. You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already. Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger. It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles. At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines. If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert. Hope this helps.

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Hi - Go ahead and try the steps in this document. It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage. What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly. If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
Hope that helps.

Problem with margins shifting when printing.

I have an installation template on an 11x17 sheet with 3/8” margins. There is a “left” and “right” version on each side (basically mirrored) and the intent is that they align front to back when you hold the sheet up to the light. When we print a proof, two sided, on our laser printer, the drawings match when the single sheet is held up to the light, but the margins are no longer the same; each is offset by a 1/16” in the same direction. BUT when you print one sided on our printer and hold the 2 sheets back to back, the drawings are off by 1/8” because the margins are off by the 1/16' in different directions. This creates a problem when it is sent to the commercial printers as they are printing single sided to their printing plates. (The problem still appears in the exported PDF file the printers use)
The problem is, I can’t get InDesign to stop shifting the content on the page that 1/16”!
If I look at the page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
If I look at the Master page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
Under “Margins and Columns” in InDesign, I found the correct margins set (0.375 - 3/8”) all around, with 1 column and a 0.1667” Gutter. Ha .. I thought I had found it! So I removed the Gutter and checked “Enabled Layout”, But when printed, same problem.
I then though it must be on the master pages and found and did the same thing as above, still no luck!
Then I created a new master page and set it up as above and reapplied the new master page, still no luck!
I’m stumped!?! If we can’t get these margins correct we can’t send it to the commercial printer.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Well I don't know for a fact that it is, but the customer is a major International Fortune 500 Company and this is an Installation sheet printed and included in one of their product packages, so I would imagine it is an offset press.
Besides, if the commercial printer was using a commercial Laser printer, can't they print 2-sided? There is no problem when it is printed 2-sided, the images align because both margins are offset in the same direction. It is only when it is printed 1-sided (one side to each printing plate) that the problem becomes obvious because the offsets are in the opposite directions. (BTW, it is B&W)

Problem with serial key

Problems with gradient feather when saving as pdf

I have an InDesign CS4 file which has a high-quality grayscale jpg with a CMYK jpg on top of it. The later has a gradient feather effect applied to it. When I export to pdf, some people (I believe with an older version of Reader or Preview) cannot view the gradient. From a computer like this, it prints the most transparent part of the gradient as the entire gradient, so I think it's still there but very hard to see.
I haven't been able to test it in Reader because I can't find an older version, but I know it doesn't work in an older version of Preview (3.0.9 is what I tried). However, everything I've tried hasn't worked—I've tried changing the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, Exporting as Acrobat 4.0 (which works but looks horrible); I've exported as Press Quality and High Quality Print, and played with profile settings. I've also made sure that all my graphics and profiles match as CMYK, because originally they didn't. The only thing that works is if I open it in my version of Mac Preview (5.0.2) and then Save As a pdf from it. But I'm afraid the colors and perhaps quality are affected in so doing. I've also googled this to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone help?
This is what is should look like.
This is what it does. Notice the color is still in the "contact us" (and all the colors on p.2 are fine).

What version campatibility for Acrobat do you have selected in your export settings? Changing to Acrobat 4 will make it compatible with 4 and later, but you'll wind up falttening the the transparency and heve nasty looking white stitching lines all over the place that will show on screen and print on most desktop devices, not to mention a loss of interactivity, I think.
Reader is free... Tell these people to download an upgrade to the most recent version that will run on their systems rather than trying to dumb down your file.

Problem with special characters (&) when printing using XSL-FO ...

Hello everybody !!
I have a problem when I want to print a Report with a link to a URL where the character "&" is present :
I want to have something like : src="file:///...webfile?param1=val1*+_&_+*param2=val2"
In my XSL-FO file, I wrote : src="file:///...webfile?param1=<xsl:value-of select="IDARTICLE"/>*+_<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>_+*param2=<xsl:value-of select="MARQUE"/>"
When I try this only with FOP, it works. However, when I upload the XSL-FO file to ApEx, it says my PDF file is corrupted when I want to open it.
What do I have to put the '&' symbol when I want to print the Report ??
Could anyone help me ??
Thanks by advance,
Pierre C.

I believe this relates to something I have actually found in my own testing.
It is probably due to the Template not being URLEncoded prior to transmission to the FOP processor.
I actually determined that special URL characters, like '+' and '&', are lost on transmission because the type of submission is POST with x-www-form-urlencoded, but the fields are not actually encoded entirely. The XML Element contents are encoded prior to transmission in order to preserve data.
Work around would be to URLEncode the template as it sits in the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. I have been able to successfully get around the problem by doing that.

Problems with .png files when printing

Hi,
When sending my InDesign document to print (from exported pdf's)
some of my .png files are showing up with semi transparent boxes
of a different shade than the surround. This reflects the size of the files.
On screen these discrepancies are not apparrent.
Where does this problem lie? In the way I have made the .png's?
Or a setting in InDesign?
Or with the printer?
Any suggestions welcome,
Thanks
Nik

Header problem with photosmart 8180 when printing with company letterhead

I print many letters through MS Word 2003. When I print a letter on plain paper, it looks fine and is the correct distance (1 1/2") from the top of the page(s). Our letterhead consists of a 1" dark band with our logo included and our address across the bottom of the page. I then insert our letterhead to print a final, the printer moves the letter (date, name, address and body) down another 1", meaning the printer is using the bottom of the band to measure the top margin. It also ignores the bottom margin of 1" and just prints into the address, instead of going to the next page. Both types of paper are the same 8 1/2 X 11.
We have Konica network printer and I previously had a HP 930 printer and never have seen this before. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled and the only change I have made since is to change the the paper type, under "Print", "Properties", "Features", "Paper Type", from Automatic to Plain Paper. Neither helps.
I have an extended email list with HP Customer Care, telling me everything from installing a 990C driver (or virtual printer?) to have me check to make sure I knew how to load paper.
I then spent over an hour on the phone with an HP rep and even gave him control of my computer, to no avail. He thinks he fixed the problem by having me reduce the top margin, to say 1/2" and basically trick the printer into printing at the correct place below the band, but the second page is now too far up because of that.
I hope someone can help. I found it hard to believe that this has only happened to me.
Thanks for any help.

Problem with photo quality when exporting interactive pdf

Hi guys!
I made a simple pdf with before/after retouching samples with photos overlayed, changing on mouse rollover.
When I export it as an interactive pdf (on lossless jpeg quality), the photo quality on the final pdf looks like a jpeg on 40% quality, really bad. Rollover works.
When I export it as a pdf for print on high quality - the photo quality in the final pdf is flawless but rollovers dont work.. (I checked "Interactive Elements: Include Appearance) but still nothing..
Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the rollovers to work and to have the photos in the best quality possible.
Thanks,
Jelena

If you haven't already you need to change the resolution as well. Like this:
72ppi is the default which in theory should be fine for on screen viewing, but play around and use what works for you.

Problem with serial number when in stalling second disc

I am installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. The first disc installed fine. Then the computer restarted and I inserted the second disc. But this time when I put the same serial number in as I did before with the first disc, it tells me that it is incorrect. Please help me!

What is in the second disk? Is it Adobe Premiere Elements? If it is then it must have come with its own serial number. Look on the disk sleeve if there is anything on a orange label.
To ryn Adobe Photoshop elements, you only need one disk. I don't know what package have you bought or did you buy about a year ago because some PSE came with Windows and MAC disks in one box while some people buy a special package that comes with PSE and Photoshop Elements.
I hope this message will make you look further in the box to see if there is anything else in it.

Problem with serial number, when I bought Keynote on Mac App Store

Hi,
I bought yesterday Keynote and Numbers yesterday in online Mac App Store, not retail. I had had trial version, but over time. I bought this software, system this software installed. But when I run this software, it want serial number or buy ... where is problem?
Thank you for help
Ondrej

You don't need a serial number. The problem you're having is due to having the iWork trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Dear Colleagues,
I need your help with the issue below:
I have one material that Serial Number profile was not configured. The GR was done for 3 pcs, these material is to do the UD, but before to completed the process (UD) the material was changed and the Serial Number profile was set.
More 27 pcs were receiced, and for these pcs the Serial Number as created in the Material Document.
The user was not able to do the UD, and I requested him to use the t-code MBST to cancel the Material documents, but is not able to do this process for the Material Document that doesn't have the Serial Number (This is the fisrt Material document regarding that 3 pcs).
Now I have these 3 pcs for to make the UD and I'm not able, because I have an Error inform that I need to have the Serial Number, and I'm not able to cancel the Material document as well.
I want to know if we have some SAP Note, or one procedure that I can use to resolve this problem.
Many Thanks.

Problem with different browsers when I save pdf

Hi I have server side application which open some pdf form and populate it with values and some javascript(I use FDFToolkit to do that). A client connects with a browser to my server opens the form in the browser window and after that saves the form as pdf to his local computer. When the client uses InternetExplorer 7 the pdf form on the client computer(the form is open with acrobat 9 pro) works exactly as in the browser window but when the form is saved with Firefox 3.0.3 the form is open without the values and javascript in it. Can someone help ?

There are many free converters on the web. Also, if you are working with
Office 2007, you can save as pdf natively.
But you didn't give much detail - are you trying to do this automatically?
What's the workflow that has you considering C++ as the route to your
solution?
