great that you want to prove some useless theory in the pre-press process.
It's obvious that you only use software to check the Xara output. Software can and does have bugs, even if it carries the brand 'Adobe'.
I doubt that you guys have a Linotronic Hell imagesetter with a full fledget RIP in your livingroom or home office to run the 'tests'. Unless you examine the final film or printing plates you can't tell anything about the result. As long as you guys use a software to analyse the output, you only **think** you are on the right track.
It's hilarious if not amusing for me to see how you try to tell us some buggy truths. I've sent your posts to the printing company I'm currently working with, and all they did was LOL, LOL, LOL. And the same question I put up here: please explain why we can print and get a result if it's doomed to fail based on theory?
Right they are. Monday they will run another file from me (made with Xara X, including bitmaps, gradients, shadows, bevels and all the nine yards) through the image setter and produce another great set of CMYK films for printing a flyer.
A flyer of course that can't exist because you guys know better. So I will deliver a non-existing flyer to the customer.
Really interesting how you guys deliver a proof without a Lino equipment.
Good luck with your theoretical knowledge. It feels so good to be more practical oriented and to be able to deliver results instead of beating a dead fly.
