    Question about commission for colleague

    Thanks. I moved across country, so it's unlikely he would get a print job from me. Still, thanks for that range. I've asked him what he would like. He's a friend, so I'm sure he'll be fair, and I'd like to be sure he gets a portion because I appreciate the work.

    Question about commission for colleague

    After years of prepress work, I've started my own design business, more part time than full time. Anyway, a former colleague of mine sells print and has begun to refer work to me, both print and website work. Any advice on how much commission I should offer him? I haven't asked yet ... Thanks.

    HP5200ps RAM question

    Looking at adding RAM to this. We frequently have large files that have to be reduced in resolution in order to print. Looks like it can take up to 32GB but came with only 256mb. The manual states that it doesn't use RAM for printing, rather the HD of 160 GB, but I'm thinking that's AFTER it's...

    Can't change black page to spot black

    To F.I.I'mGoingFishing: Thanks for checking those details. I agree and know there's a white box there, but unfortunately, when we get files like this they are from a customer using a wide range of programs, old and new, and it's just not practical for us to open up each page and edit it, not to...

    Can't change black page to spot black

    I'm using Pitstop Pro 10 on black-only PDF pages from Quark 6.5. I can get all text and vector art to change to my created Spot Black using Remap channel global action, but the images do not change (they are definitely grayscale on the black separation). I tried using an action but all the areas...

    Problem with Repositionable prints

    Thanks! I'll check out those materials. I'm using an aqueous system and found a few other possibilities, too, just from looking up these that you mentioned.

    Problem with Repositionable prints

    We have tried two materials to use for Repositionable Prints and both are falling off the walls. Don't know if there is a better material choice or if possibly the paint on the wall is the culprit - these stick fine to the door :) Materials we've tried are: Ariva 5-mil Matte Polyester Woven...

    Looking for most efficient way to retrieve archived jobs enmass

    Good morning - we have Prinergy 3.x with a single-drive tape system. Not using it anymore except to get access to archived files, and the system could be on its last legs so it's important to us to get the files off the tapes before it fails. We will be moving old files onto external drives, but...

    Looking for recommendations for substrate/printer for canvas prints

    I have an Epson 9600 an HP5500 and an HPZ5200 available. Looking to print on a canvas-type of material. I've looked at some wall art available locally and it looks to be glued to a frame by machine, not stretched, stapled and taped. Also, there is a finish on the outside. I've done a bit of this...
