Color Management for PDF/X

PDF promotion for Color Management with PDFX/A with Matt Beals JOIN US  this Thursday, March 25th for a Color Management for PDF/X presentation by Matt Beals. Matt has been in the printing and publishing industries since he was 16 years old. He got his start as a service bureau pre-press technician where he specialized in troubleshooting and fixing files that would not output. From there he moved up to a preflight specialist for a large commercial printer and eventually worked his way up to a director position for a magazine publisher where he was responsible for all prepress, printing, and mailing services. 

Since then he has specialized in PDF-based workflows and workflow automation. He has been recognized as a PDF expert and automation expert, spoken at numerous industry (IPA & Seybold) and Printing Industries of America (PIA) events and actively participates in many public and private user forums.

 

The areas Matt will cover are: 

  • PDF/X-1a:2001/3, PDF/X-3:2003 and PDF/X-4. 
  • Preflighting PDF’s - Adobe Acrobat, Callas, Enfocus 
  • Preflighting images - Humans and Elpical Claro 
  • Automatic image processing - Elpical Claro 
  • Automation, tying it all together - Enfocus Switch 

 

Matt has also specifically asked attendees of his event to supply him with good example, or problematic files: 

  • RAW images off the camera of varying scenes such as high key, low key, low contrast, flesh tones, high ISO images. 
  • Anything with embedded IPTC metadata. 
  • Images with too high of ink coverage. 
  • PDF’s with transparency, PDF’s with multiple icc profiles, wrong output intent, files from “office applications”, etc. 

This will help give Matt some real-world examples in his presentation and demonstrations. You can send these at anytime up to 24 hours before the event by emailing them to matt@pnwcmug.com

Sign up now! This will be a valuable evening you won't want to miss.
