We run GMG thru some older 9600 Epsons at 720 dpi and our text and
illustrations come out considerably thicker on our proofs than on
our press sheets. I have tried running 1440 dpi ( slightly
better.... but nothing to right home to ma about :-) I have also
played around with sharpening in GMG to little avail. The pdf's are
coming from Prinergy. Is there some bell or whistle I am missing to
rectify this? Are the newer Epsons...... which we will be getting
soon ....... any better in this regard? Thanks in advance for any
light you may shed on this matter.
Hi Rick
Check the resolution in RipServer. This is where your PDF gets turned
into a TIFF. I think the default is a ridiculous 360dpi or something.
I saw a marked improvement when I upped it to 720, though files do
take longer to process. I tested ripping at printing at 1440 vs.
ripping and printing at 720 and couldn't detect a difference, but that
initial jump from 360 to 720 is huge.
