I work prepress for a printer that installed two MAN Roland 23x29
multicolor presses in the last 4 years or so. The new presses have
scanning densitometers that work in Status-E. The SID cmyk numbers in
Status-E are quite a bit higher than the Status-T the pressroom had
been using prior to these installations. The pressman are, how should
I say it, reluctant to run to the higher numbers, and our quality,
print contrast etc has suffered. The presses also come installed with
D6500 lighting on the consoles.
So I guess I'm wondering what other shops are doing to battle this
mindset, or inability to adapt to a different scale for densitometric
readings.
What to do about the viewing luminaire over the console? When it's all
said and done visual comparison plays heavy on how the job is actually
run regardless of where the numbers are. I have had to dumb down my
proofs to try to match what they are doing which seems bassackward to
me.
