Hey Jayhawkmike, I'm also a KM guy presently, although now in sales, but I'm not even sure how that happened! Anyway, I spent lots and lots of years in VDP and mail as a programmer, systems engineer and a trainer. Lots of good advice here from others, especially page counts. Keep them much...

This is mainly for Mike. As a consultant and color expert, I hope he sees it and rethinks his "opinion" on G7 for wide format. It's growing very quickly across all of print and the wide-format world. http://www.bluemedia.com/about/g7/. And by the way, no one in my class of 40 people was a color...

Hi Guys (and maybe gals), Great things there from Dov, Andrew and Stephen. I also want to point out that a 5-8 GB PDF is not necessarily small. When ripped it can grow x4 so now your 8 GB file is 32 GB. While most RIPS can handle that, it's still abusive and if you're regularly throwing those...

For WillAdams: I have attached the custom PPD for the Creo that was used for this. It has a .txt extension that you need to change to .ppd if you want to use it. Look for this chunk of SPD commands in the PPD file in a text editor to edit or add: *OpenUI *CICKIMMediaType/Media Type: PickOne...

Yes, Kieth! Because print grows trees and we all know it! Dwight

That's great RMAIR! Nice to have you with us! See if you can get some front-line time, meaning get some time with the folks who's work you are estimating if possible, and keep in mind that much of what we do is still rightly considered a "craft." I've enjoyed my progression and curves in the...

I'm like so many of us now. For example, studied typography and ad design way back, but it was part of my original schooling in graphic arts when the Mac was just coming into play as a useful tool in graphic design and pre-press. So, this event brought back a lot of fond memories. One of which...

This is hilarious! Have either of you actually considered what you've written? What possible reason could there be in acting like grade-school bullies, and just out of the blue with absolutely no provocation!? I think you should stay out of PrintPlanet until you've had some counseling to figure...

My wife is a Jayhawk, kansaquaker, so I'm a little surprised at the ranting style of your reply, especially in a forum like PrintPlanet. I'm just trying to help some folks out here---geez. I will admit, though, that my overly dry sense of humor has elicited the occasional unexpected reply in the...

I'll be attending the G7 Expert certification training in MN with Don Hutcheson June 23-25 courtesy of our wonderful federal government! That's right, the Workforce Investment Act--which was actually very easy to navigate with assistance from my local county workforce services office--is paying...

You should be able to send the 2-up PDF master over, then the 2-up merged data PDF, and merge those with FreeForm in CWS as you are trying to do. It would be the same as sending 8.5x11 PDFs and then merging those, but the page size is 11x17.5. Do you have analyst support from Xerox for the...

Hi, fouad, No, I don't work for KM and I'm not in sales--at least not today! The retail for the 1070 engine alone with scanner (bizhub PRESS C1070) was $67K about a year ago. The "P" version or printer version has no scanner and was retailing for $56K. It's a good machine and very reliable and...

I'm assuming you're using MS Word. Do you have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro? I would be careful creating PDFs from Word if you don't have one of these and don't have the "Adobe PDF" printer in your drop-down list when you merge. I've seen the built-in PDF creators cause serious font and...
