Matching film produced jobs
We recently went CTP with a Screen/Trueflow setup. We're very happy for the most part.
The problem is: We have customers that do "re-run with changes" of jobs that were originally produced with Computer to Film. Using the same file does not produce the same results on CTP. I am guessing that there was dot gain in the plate burning when using the film and CTP is giving me a cleaner, more honest reproduction.
All of us in prepress, however, know the story of "I don't care why, fix it. I want it to look like THIS."
Any ideas on how to make a CTP job look like it did when printed from film?
The short term solution of using film isn't very viable; this client is a real estate developer who adds "more lots available" and since we are talking multi-million dollar lots, it will be probably be more than 5 years before the project is complete.
