Color copiers never cease to amaze repulse me.

Skry or Sabby, ever had major color shifts just from changing imposition settings? Running a Creo RIP on a 6501. I set up custom queues to import a large number of jobs, all with the same Pantone. Every job I import using my queue looks fucking different on my first print. I'm having to make minor adjustments (light/dark, custom gradation) for each lot. It's ridiculous.  :death:

So,  :drunk3: i send the job to the rip with live transparecy (v 1.7 or whatever) and it craps out with a memory error.

No, I don't recall that happening. But I've had everything else go wrong on our Creo. We couldn't even use the impo software it was so jacked up. Thankfully I had Preps there.

I often think the engineers do little things like this on purpose. In the past I've used the Creo's impo and it chews up transparency in a file, but a 1-up file is fine. Are they not testing the software thoroughly?  :shoots_self:

Why test when they can release it and fix it later... maybe. People have grown so used to it it's no longer a surprise.

The KM I used back in Colatown had a Fiery RIP. And I manually impo'd everything there.  :death:
But on the Xerox, remember I had that funky artifact on a job, not too long ago, that was Imposed via Fiery. Manual Impo was fine. Perfect, amazing, modern technology!!
The Xerox is all over the place, color wise. KM held color much better throughout a run, than Xerox.

So, I'm not surprised  you had a color shift via imposing software.

Makes perfect sense. So changing 2 x 3.5 to 3.5 x 2 = major color shifts.

It's not even 11am yet.  :shoots_self:
