Running Nexus 9 to a trendsetter. Have been using Symphony Calibrator to calibrate plate. Does not play nice with newer Mac OS. Is there a free-standing plate calibration solution out there?

Is that a speling joke?

Will check out, thanks. My idea was to dump wife format and stick to our core business. I've already given notice that if we start doing mylar balloons, I'm outta here.

We use Flexi Print, and not too happy with it. Boss wants to get into vehicle wraps. What kinda rip is good?

No service contract. Nexus is pretty expensive and we'd pay for a lot of capability that we just don't need.

Looking for a huge favor. We're considering a Xitron Sierra RIP to replace our older Nexus 9.5. We are starting to print a lot of large sports posters, full coverage, lots of type, transparency, you name it. They tie up the nexus way long. (Running on Win Server 2003, 4 gigs ram, so not too powerful). Would any Sierra user consider running a sample file on their rip to see how long it would take? Usual Golden Rocket Pony prize is involved.

I guess I was wondering if it would be more time and cost effective to look at a server-based application. We don't really do variable graphics, we mainly do sports tickets in runs up to 2,000,000. Takes a fair amount of time to process a file like that (100,000 pages imposed, numbered in 2 positions, sometimes with barcodes).

Anyone have it? What was the cost? Currently we have 4 licenses for FusionPro desktop. Any good reason to upgrade to VDP Producer?

Slappy?

I do like HP. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Now to run that past the owner.....

Have an HP 5100 near the end of it's life (it's been real dependable). Need 11x17 and envelope capability. And, of course, a good price.

Have they improved the color management for proofing? Or do you still have to run a 3rd party rip to your Epson?

No native file, just as well. It's quark 8 and we're only up to 7.5 (permanently). Must be the settings used to make the pdf. A bad pdf out of quark?!? This is unprecedented!

Preflight found no transparency in original pdf.
