    Quark Memorial Service

    Quark is still difficult to deal with. I upgraded my two Macs to Snow Leopard in August 2011. I had two licenses for Quark, but could only find one. Quark would not give me the time of day to get the other license, so I upgraded only one--they lost one upgrade sale. I just have one Mac with...

    Other Uses for Xante or OKI Based product besides envelopes?

    I run a lot of announcement envelopes through our Ilumina, we've had it for over three years. I have also use it for Magnacote by putting two sheets together so that the magnet part is not exposed to the inside of the machine.

    Vistaprint=Top trade printer?

    I refuse to use Vista Print, 4 Over and the such. When a walk-in person comes in my shop and wants that kinda of printing I direct them to the nearest Kinkos (oops Fedex Office) center or some shop that uses them as there best bet--let them kill them selves for $10 bucks. If they want to use me...

    Can't print to nework printers out of Mac OS 10.6.7

    Thank you Alith. It did not quite work, but it led me in the right direction. Xante has 4 different drivers for the Ilumina; and trying them all I was able to get one to work. Now I'm having a problems with the Xante Platemaker 5. There is a utility that uncompresses the ppd but I do not know...

    Can't print to nework printers out of Mac OS 10.6.7

    The Canon Tech came and got the imagePress and imagerRunner to work. Know I tried Alith's suggestion to get the Xante Ilumina to work, but it still does not; using this method the printer goes to pause and when I click on info the it reads at the bottom "Job Message: Bad URI - need printer...

    Can't print to nework printers out of Mac OS 10.6.7

    No insult taken No insult taken Thank you for your help. As I have come to learn the more one knows, the more one comes to realize they can't know everything. Some of the younger guys will be insulted, but I'm just grateful. JaimeZ

    Can't print to nework printers out of Mac OS 10.6.7

    I just upgraded by Macs to the Mac OS 10.6.7 and now my network printers will not print out of the Macs. I have a Fiery rip with the Canon imagePress C6000, imageRunner 7095, Xante Ilumina and my old, old, old Harlequin rip which runs my ECRM Mako imagestter (it runs on Apple talk). The good...

    Anyone using Pantone GOE?

    Perhaps we can up-charge for GOE ink matching more than PMS? Just a thought.

    Global warming - the other side of the argument

    Mark Flanders, Yes your stats are compelling, but what fails me is that when I was in school (back in the 70's) the scientists of the day were telling us that our CO2's were causing the next "Ice Age" and the if we did not stop humanity would freeze itself out of existence. Today were going to...

    PrintSmith estimating software

    ahrgg? Printsmith! ahrgg? Printsmith! I'm pretty down on Printsmith myself. I've been using it for 5 years and we need to add one more computer user. Printsmith charges $500 to add one computer user and they offer a great deal at $999 for three--thanks for the generosity. At that price level...

    Inherited small print shop...

    Just like mentioned, scrap the Itek and the camera. Get a laser printer to produce cheap plates like the HP5000 (which is ten year old technology and no longer supported by HP) or a used Xante platemaker that image laser plates. As for higher quality plates buy out the plates if someone offers...

    Global warming - the other side of the argument

    You're right I can't spell Kool Aid, but if that's all you can bring up about the facts stated in my post, I made my point.

    Global warming - the other side of the argument

    Once again a global warming "cool aide" drinker (smile). Blame human kind for CO2, it just shows the arrogance some have over what man can do. How about the amount of CO2 produced by the oceans and volcanic eruptions? What man produces pales in comparison to what these two nature juggernauts...

    Xerox 700 vs. Canon C6000

    Well, I must say that as an "ink on paper" printer, I used to have a major prejudice against toner based machines until I bought a Xante Ilumina two years ago and the Canon imagePress 6000 last month. Both do not have fuser oil and provide a printed sheet that looks like offset. The Canon even...

    xerox 700 competition/ other options for upgrade at small digital shop

    I know the Canon imagePress 6000 is more, but the quality is great and there is no shine indicative of toner based machines. It does slowdown for cover weights and duplexing, so if you need speed than the imagePress 7000VP or 6000VP do not slowdown when running cover weights and duplexing. And...
