    Adobe Myriad Pro fonts not printing in Acrobat 8.1

    When I print direct from Indesign to our platemaker, the Myriad Pro font family prints without problems. However if I make a PDF of this, the Myriad Pro fonts refuse to print. Is this to with the fonts being embedded or something in a PDF and not in the original Indesign file. Myriad Pro is a...

    Illustrator out of memory messages with 4gb RAM installed!

    Re: Illustrator out of memory messages with 4gb RAM installed! Thanks Nelly that has solved the problem. Windows 7 which is the replacement for Vista is shipping 1st quarter 2010. Let's hope that all the compatability issues are solved.

    Illustrator out of memory messages with 4gb RAM installed!

    Re: Illustrator out of memory messages with 4gb RAM installed! Thanks Dov for your reply. Initially I did increase the paging file size but this has made no difference. The PSD files are only 200KB and open easily in Illustrator CS2 but not in CS3 where I get a message saying "There is not...

    Illustrator out of memory messages with 4gb RAM installed!

    I've recently upgraded my PC workstation to Vista 64 bit edition from XP professional 32 bit edition. I'm getting problems in Vista with Illustrator CS3 telling me that there is not enough memory to place an image when I try to import a non native AI file such as PSD. This is daft as I've got...

    Press not coming off impression

    Re: Press not coming off impression Thanks Offset. Power is single phase, standard UK 240v. The press is running fast for a few seconds then going slow and then speeding up again. It's staying on impression and although I can print with it, sheets are jamming on the impression cylinder due to...

    Press not coming off impression

    Today my AB Dick 9995 is staying on impression and is coating the impression cylinder with the image as soon as it is started up. I know it's not coming off impression as the spray powder device is constanty supplying spray with every revolution of the cylinders when it should only be doing this...

    PC VS Mac Platforms

    Re: PC VS Mac Platforms Isn't a Mac now a PC with a different OS? Aren't Intel CPU's the norm now? Why do components for Macs cost an arm and a leg over the same PC counterparts? We use high end PC's exclusively now simply because all of our files handed in by customers are on this platform...

    Tighten Plate Clamps

    Hi Does anyone know how to tighten the tail edge plate clamps on my AB Dick 9995? One of the nuts that is used to tighten the plate clamp is slightly slack and I know its a 10 minute job for an engineer, but don't want to waste his time (and my money) on such a small repair.

    Best way to do sequential numbering for raffle tickets, etc.

    Re: Best way to do sequential numbering for raffle tickets, etc. There is very simple solution that we use and that is to lay out the sheet say 6 up on a A4 sheet as a master page and in document setup set the number of pages to 1,000 if that is the amount you require. Put a page number on...

    DPM2000cps

    Re: DPM2000cps I've got one of these platesetters and regularly print quality full colour work with a line screen of 133lpi. It is a good backup for our other machine and is excellent for quality budget leaflets and quality stationery work. Few things to watch for are that all the rollers are...

    Is Ryobi 3304H a good 4 colour press?

    I've been offered a Ryobi 3304H four colour potrait SRA3 press for a very, very low price as the owner is emigrating. I've got the 2 colour version of this and despite the terrible dampening system, it is a good machine. What are the opinions of 3304 owners with regards to their machines? Are...

    Technotrans damping system needs constant roller maintenance

    Re: Technotrans damping system needs constant roller maintenance I've been reliably informed that the alcohol used in the recirc system actually strips the coating on the metering rollers. These rollers have to be renewed every 4 to 6 months and are expensive to buy and to fit. The Varn Compac...

    Technotrans damping system needs constant roller maintenance

    Re: Technotrans damping system needs constant roller maintenance Thanks Ryobi. If you can find out cost and perhaps how easy it is to install the Varns with my 9995 and existing Technotrans recirc that would be really helpful. Thanks Colin
