Hi we've been having an ongoing battle with algae in our Avantra 44S water tanks. I know adding some bleach would help but I have no idea how much? Or how about aquarium algae tablets? thanks for any help!

Hi, This might be asking a lot, but can somebody please help me linerize our Imagesetter. I've never actually done it before but I do understand the basics of it all. We have an Avantra 44s and we run FlexoCal. with an Optimin set to 1.6 I ran the Imagesetter Calibration Taget ( 2400 FlexoCal...

Re: Trapping software? We have Esko Deskpack, works great! ( most of the time ) But from my 20+ yrs in pre-press I gotta say nothing beats trapping by hand ( so to speak ) in Illustrator etc... Slower, but better.

Re: Which External HD? Thanks for the replies / advice. We ordered an 500GB external from Staples and it showed up trashed. Maybe Jim Carry from the opening scene of Ace Ventura was the guy who delivered it, ha! Anyways, we are getting another one and I guess I'm not going to worry about...

Hi, apparently our Esko Server is on it's way out, Esko tech support told me the orange blinking light is a BIG problem and should be replaced, which is something else we're looking into... In the meantime we have to backup a LOT of files off of the Esko. In a previous thread...

Re: FontAgent Pro vs Suitcase Fusion? Brian, you bring up a very good point there. And I noticed with Font Explorer X you have the option to either copy or move the fonts you load. Which I'm thinking I don't like. I am however still waiting to see if I can get the 30 day Demo of Font Agent...

Re: FontAgent Pro vs Suitcase Fusion? Well I put in a request for the FontAgent Pro Server 30 Day Demo. Now I've never used a font "Server" and I never heard any GOOD things about them. I kinda see it like using a Pre-Flight program, your just better off doing it by hand (so to speak) but I'm...

Any opinions on which is better? Pros and Cons?

Hi we recently upgraded to Nexux 8.5 and the highwater card from using the old Packflow to Q our jobs. And now it seems everytime we change film it locks up, our fix so far is to just shutdown the Avantra and the Nexus PC and restart. Anybody know why?

Hi, we've been getting this Alert lately... The disk "C:" containing the database "BSJobs Fastlane_TM" is filling up. Free space left on disk: 2592 MB. Database growth left: 3956 MB. If this BackStage is not a production server, you can ignore this message. Otherwise, You should clean up your...

Re: How Do You Archive? Actually that is what saved me from the corrupted fonts, we still had the original Cust. files zipped in with the rest of the job on the Esko.

Re: How Do You Archive? """ Luc St-Pierre We have done this for a while with many many issues. Writing protocoles between Mac and PC's being the number one troublemaker. Many archived files being brought back came back as useless Unix files. Do proper testing before. You may loose usefull...

Hi, was wondering how others archive their work. Here's basically how we do it. Retrospect automatically backs up our Mac server nightly. And as our server fills up we archive files on DVDs and use disk tracker to catolog, and then delete the old jobs. And since I now have a little better...

Re: Mac "Connect To Server" Window Question Oops, ha! I forgot about that other thread I stared, thanks!

Hi, I noticed that when I connect to our PC (esko) server using the Connect To Server command on the Mac, I click browse, and I can use either "My Network" or "Workgroup". But I see the icon mounted on my Mac from the Workgroup connection is in ALL CAPS. I also noticed when copying to or from...
