    dynamic colorbars in Preps

    I don't think the ink remapping comes out of Preps 8. We use it in our Xitron Rip the color remapping. Yes we have a 4 & 5 spot color bar. Spot1, Spot2 etc. If Preos does it that would be news to me.

    Need help new Digital Press

    I waited as long as I could to buy a new digital press. The only one I looked a was the Canon 8000/10000. We don't need the speed of the 10000 so the 8000 would be the closest. We will be making our final decision at "Print" in October. So what other machines are out there that would compete...

    Seeking RIP for AGFA Avantra 44S

    We just got the Xitron Navigator Rip to replace Rampage. We are using it for the Screen 8100. It is different, but we are very happy for the last couple of weeks that we had it installed. Don't know where you are but we bought it from Bay Digital in Northern California.

The digital presses, wide format & Xante all have their own RIPs so it would be only for making plates...

    Hot Glue Perfect binding

    It was all run digital on a Canon 7000VP. I don't think this Canon uses any fuser oil.

    Hot Glue Perfect binding

    That's the thing. It was C1S cover with no printing on the inside and the pages had no toner at all near the bind, it was mostly text. One thing I noticed is the glue seemed very brittle. If the "rasp" was deeper and we use more than normal amount of glue, does that make it worse when trying to...

    Hot Glue Perfect binding

    We have a digibinder and it has worked well for several years. We are now having a problem with the books staying together. Does glue get to old? Is there different glue for different papers? Run it hotter/colder? Any help would be welcome. The book is 8 x 8 about 200 sheets.

    Adobe Muse

    Never used Muse and I have some questions. We would like to use Muse for our designer to create simple landing page for our direct mail campaigns. It looks like a simple program for non HTML user to get some web experience. I was told there is a drawback, Muse web pages cannot be set to desktop...
