Hi there. I've got InDesign CS6 and have learned to do a mail merge of about 700 names. I've got a 7wx5h postcard, full bleeds and obviously the names, addresses, etc. go on one side. I've been able to import the data (700) and now have a 1400 page document. How can I get this into my Creo to...

Hi all. I'm printing an 11x17 and need it to fold in half. I've told my Creo to do it, but my machine doesn't. Am I missing something, not holding my mouth just right, or does the C6501 not fold 11x17? Thanks in advance for the info. CathieH

Hi there. I imported a 4x6 postcard into my Creo so I could impose it 2-up on an 8.5x11 sheet. My experience has always been that when you do this, you input the number of total postcards you want to print, not the number of sheets because the Creo is thinking only of the 4x6 card, not in terms...

Hi guys. I've got my in-house printshop all set up so nicely with my new KM C6501 and everything is running smoothly. Now it's time to set up VDP to save sending some jobs out to a vendor. I have done pre-sort VDP in the past, but don't need anything that elaborate. I just need to print...

Hi All. I'm trying to print a certificate through the Creo on my KM6501. Although it comes out looking nice, it's not printing the grey or blue text, it comes out as black. It's printing the gold seal, but all the text is black. I've previewed it at the Creo, and it looks fine, the colors are...

I'm interested in the Alwan software probably because I know nothing about it. My situation is that I run two digital presses, a KM 6501 and KM 1050. The 1050 is what it is, a workhorse for b/w, nothing to deal with other than run the job. The 6501 on the other hand, I want great color out...

Hey Lukas, you sent me a PM and I tried to reply, but your setting don't allow a reply. I don't want to answer you publicly. Thanks, Cathie

Hey there. Does anyone know of a good program out there that can take a PDF file, troubleshoot it and fix it once it's become corrupt? I've had a couple of good PDF files that ran fine, but once I pulled them off the server and ran them, a page or two would be come corrupt and not allow the...

Hi there. Long time no see. :-) Anyway, I have a PDF file that's about 270 pages, a book, and it was printing fine until yesterday. Now, it'll only print up to page 52 then stop, thus making the KM 1050 driver say the printer is offline and I have to restart both the printer and the PC to get...

Hi there. I'm having a couple of issues and wonder if you guys can help me figure it out. First, on my KM 1050, I'm only using the driver to send PDFs (mostly) to the machine. Yesterday, it started to print only the first 40, or 98, or 128 pages, whatever it decides to print and then just...

Is letterpress going the way of printing? I know with less printing comes less letterpress, but are there less companies out there wanting foiling, embossing, specialty die-cutting, etc? My hubby works in a letterpress house with just himself and the owner, and just to make ends meet, the owner...

I'm looking to subscribe to a magazine that keeps up on the latest machines, RIP systems, digital printing, trends, offers tips and solutions, etc. I'm not in a retail environment so I don't have to worry about sales, but want to keep up with the latest and greatest in digital printing, Creo...

:( I had a PDF file then apparently went corrupt, as when I'd try to print it I'd get an error message, out of memory or something like that. I took it into PitStop Pro and preflighted it then, not knowing PitStop very well, did some "stuff" and off we went, it printed fine. So I go to open...

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a downloadable detailed manual for Acrobat Pro X? Thanks, Cathie

Hi there. My Micropress add a despeckle feature for when I scan a document on the 1050 to the computer. Is there anything like that in Acrobat 10 or PitStop Pro 10? I've been trying all these 3rd vendor workarounds and it seems like there'd be an easier way to clean up a document with either...

We got a KM C6501 to replace our C500 (what a huge improvement, but I digress), and still have our KM 1050 for our books, etc. When this transition happened, we had our Micropress removed and now I run the 6501 through a Creo and the 1050 solely through the driver. The problem I'm having is...

Anybody know of any good Pitstop Pro classes that I can take? I've put in a request to TerraTeach and they've never gotten back to me. I was going to take an Acrobat 10 class, but it looks like Pitstop 10 is much more advanced than when I used it over 5 years ago. So, any ideas? Thanks for any...

:confused: Hi. Sorry, I probably should have put this in the workflow area, but since it's a digital machine I'm dealing with, I decided to put this here. I'm having problems with printing a small postcard to our Creo from Acrobat Pro and then using the impositioning function. I have the print...

Hi there. I'm Cathie H. and I joined this group a couple of months ago, asking questions right off the bat. So I thought it was about time to introduce myself. I've been in the graphic design/marketing/communications/commercial art/printing fields for over 30 years and at one time was a the...

Hi all. I have a question. First what's happening: We've moved from a micropress that handled both my color and b/w machines to a Creo that handles our new color KMC6501 and just the interface on the b/w KM1050. We're going to get Acrobat X and Pitstop Pro. I'm asking for two copies, one for...
