Thanks for the quick response.

I have been assigned the task of reviewing the current workflow.
Rampage 10.6 - ROOM, EPS/PDF, & OPI.

We have been requesting PDF v1.3 or original docs to EPS w/OPI.

PDF 1.4 has not been officially adopted but clients are using it. They are also using High Quality Print & Press Quality but the Output tab with the Color settings are giving me headaches.

What have you settled on?

Does Rampage use the Adobe PDF Print Engine?

I didn't find Rampage on the Adobe site as a partner. What RIP is Rampage based on?

I'll drop in 100 pages and it seems that every 5th or 7th page will error. If I redrop the page it will RIP.
Does the same with Impos, If I drop 24 flats at once I'll get a weird size is too small error or something on at least a couple of flats, but if I redrop it it will RIP.

WTF?

Check your RIP profile that you drop the PDF into. It has a spot for choosing what box to use when RIPping. It is set to Trim, Bleed, etc. I often get PDFs with the boxes all out of whack. I always check with PitStop beforehand.

Are you using the PDF Trap Engine? Is it set to use Trim Box? Open the PDF and check the Trim Box with PitStop, is it correct?

I am going to assume that you have imposed the job using the FPO and it is off-center.

I don't have Metrix, am told it is the next best thing to sliced bread though.

On a side note - the lower half of mailing panel has to be rotated 180 so the fold is at the bottom when it runs through the Postal equipment.

We use Soy ink on recycled paper, that's enough for me.

Any way for you to try to open the 8.1 file into 8.02?

As the Romantics song goes "I need to know".

Can you view eps files in the preview window yet?

Can you tell me if 8.1 files can still be opened on 8.02?

I have a 104 page PDF made from Photoshop that is over 2 GB. The PDF has type and images.

Many images are over 350% TIC. There is 400% black type also.

I need to get the ink coverage down to 320% or so.

Any ideas?
