The press they are installing and rebuilding is obviously not new so I'm not sure what they were using previously. Supposedly there is a press sheet from it showing the color bars but I have not seen it.

WPC or Web Printing Control used to have Diamonds in different Sizes. They were bought out by Baldwin Technology.

Baldwin is what we used for our first rotoman. We'll try them I guess although I'm not sure if we are using them again this time or not. Thanks for your input.

The system is supposed to be QuadTech color control system. I have the documentation for the color bar but no file to actually put on the plate.

I wonder if you got one of Rotos from my old shop.

Could be. Not sure where it came from.

I have these, we have a quad tech system on our 2 Komoris.

Joe · May 04, 2020, 01:46:46 PM

Thanks for that. Those might be them. Looks similar. I sent them to be boss to see if that is actually them.

Are your complete color bars specific to the Komori or are they just Quad Tech marks too?

johnny_jay · May 05, 2020, 06:05:56 AM

Quad Tech - How many unit is your press? We mainly use a 5 color color bar. Our Komoris use Instrument Flight to read grey balance. I attached the main color bar we use (Orig). We also have a slightly taller 4 color color bar and a black plus up to two spot color color bars.

The 6 digit code is what they are named in the press's software.

Joe · May 05, 2020, 07:01:56 AM

Thanks for those. The press has 6 units.

johnny_jay · May 05, 2020, 07:03:32 AM

We only have 5 units so these may not work.

Joe · May 05, 2020, 07:15:20 AM

The diamonds you sent yesterday are 6 color so I would think we could just replace the diamonds in the color bar with the 6 color one.

Edit: The one named 251508-Orig.pdf that you uploaded is 6 color so we can probably make that work. Thanks again.

I know it's been a while but I was cleaning out my mac and found this

This will expire in 6 days

Thanks,

Thanks. I'll keep that hidden away as that is what our Harris presses use but who knows where the original files are?
