It’s 2016 and if you’re a printer or publisher who is not using an ink saving solution, you really need to ask yourself “Why?”. Saving ink is not...
Hi billinxs, You may want to consider giving Canon a call directly. I had a Brother office printer that no matter what I did, the color output...
Hi Alona, Short answer is no. Your monitor is RGB. CMYK refers to the printing colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Take a look at this...
Good luck! Might not be a bad idea to run through a calibration with it as well. Greg
The file may be outside the color gamut of the printer. Have you ever profiled the printer to understand which colors it can reproduce? If you did...
That's great! Glad you were able to speed things up. Greg
Then must be the RIP grinding away on the complex file... How long does it take to run the job compared to the raster file? >5 mins, >10 mins?...
Hi Keith, That's correct, the flattening occurs when it's converted to PostScript via your Printer Driver. Could be the amount of time it takes...
Hi Kdw75, I have a bunch of questions to try to help figure out what's going on. You said the files were created in Photoshop. Are they all...

I use serif Pageplus for a non-profit I work with. I'm not really a fan. It's easy to pick up but not nearly as powerful as InDesign. Greg
Hi Chaudoin, I'm sure people do, but it may not be very helpful. A lot will depend on the type of work you do. Preflight settings can be job...
Switch to PDF. EPS is an older format. With PDF you can view it in Acrobat and if the print shop really needs an EPS, they can export an EPS from...
Can you explain your workflow more? Is the profile your working space? Is it RGB, CMYK, etc? Are you converting to this profile or has our artwork...
As far as I know, ICM is/was used on Windows Machines and ICC's roots were more on a mac. I've used them interchangeably in the past without...
I assume the proofs still look accurate and it's the press which is off? If it's press related, that's not as much my area of expertise. I would...
Hi Artimusg, I want to try to rule out prepress being a variable. Just to verify, the job came in with a specified purple spot color. However,...
Just curious what the color build is. Greg
