GapFinder II video demo

Do you own a narrow web press? Do you print forms on it? Have you ever wanted your plates to be a little longer so your stepped jobs would fit? How much work is it for you to make the cylinder gap part of the live area of your jobs?
If you've still reading this, then you should watch the video below.



GapFinder is a production tool that allows printers to fully utilitize their web presses. It analyzes and re-arranges the job image so that the white portion of the image falls on the gap of presses’ cylinder, extends the printing height of your web presses.

How to create PDF/X4 files from InDesign

Sometimes issues arise with RIPs and transparencies, if you are one of our users, we suggest you upgrade to the latest version of the Compose Harlequin RIP. Either way, we recommend you use PDF/X4 files instead of Postscript files. Postscript is dead and it's been dead for a long time. PDF is the way to go.

On this video Michael Jahn shows how to create PDF/X4 files from InDesign.



Compose's Express RIP 8.3 is compatible with PDF 1.7 and PDF/X4. Which means if you follow the instructions on this video, your PDF files should RIP with out issues.

If you have any questions about this or on how to upgrade your RIP, please contact me.

Let's meet online

We are always looking for ways to hear from you and we have listened. Customers have asked us to become more active online with webinars. The idea is to set a date for doing an online demo of a product and answer any questions you may have about it. You can join the conversation whether you a Compose user or if you are looking to find more about our products. We have placed a calendar on this blog with the upcoming webinars. To attend one, all you need is a browser and a Skype® account to listen and ask questions.
