Re: Getting a new MAC
Hi again Don,
Look, I never said that all my jobs rewrap, I said I'm at risk if even one does.
It's the apps that use different kerning tables, not the OS's. But if you use a modern font manager running OSX, and it uses the new tables and you open a classic document say Q4 or worse, an older Adobe app, funny things MAY / WILL happen and that is not acceptable. Even the chance that it may happen is not acceptable in our shop. Plus French, German etc accents are a huge issue depending on hoe they were entered by the designer!
If Classic works for you, terrific; no need to change. But appreciate this, if I print 50,000 copies on 28pt board C2S and any part is wrong, I have just wiped out the profit for the next freggin quarter nearly. We are not printing on paper Don. Where you might get the 50K on four or five skids, our board wil occupy 30 skids! Cannot take the risk, period. Okay?
Thanks for the dialogue.
