Objective - Produce individual digital separations + spot colors
efficiently on clears substrate, preferably on the Epson 4880
Ideal Methodology:
Send PDF files to CM RIP driving an Epson 4880 or equivalent. The rip
will need to be able to recognize the cmyk and spot color and print
each color individually on clear substrate. While these are not
contract proofs, the spot colors will need to be a reasonable
facsimile. It is also necessary to have a RIP that will automatically
nest or gang the images automatically to utilize material to its
fullest and save time.
Our current EFI XF 4.0 RIP when set to "make separations" works but
it makes each color a "page" and is not able to nest the separation
across the sheet. It ends up printing one after the other in the
vertical direction. These files are only 3 or 4 inches wide so there
is considerable waste in time and material. We have been working
around this by sending individual postscript for each color. This is
tedious for operators, especially with multiple versions of 10 color
jobs. 10 colors x 3 version = printing postscript 30 times!
Any ideas out there? We are looking to by the appropriate RIP with
the most efficient workflow to achieve our objective.
Thanks, Bob
