    Variable data files as a service?

    Thanks for the info. I primarily need eCommerce print that supports complex variable data products. I'm thinking using the system to offer VDP as a service could generate additional revenue.

    Variable data files as a service?

    I'm looking to branch out on my own with w2p storefronts and variable data programming. I'm wondering if there is a market to provide VDP programming and file creation (PDF) for printers who may not be able to invest in VDP software and are missing out on jobs because of it. I'm skilled in XMPie...

    Avanti Slingshot users in Tennessee or Indiana?

    David, we never did find someone, and our CFO is long back from her vacation. Avanti Slingshot looks like a very good fit for us, especially with the XMPie, BCC and Great Plains integrations already figured out. Though, we're still going through our due diligence and looking at EFI Pace too.

    Avanti Slingshot

    I'm seeking input on recent (up to 3 years) implementations of Avanti Slingshot. Was it a smooth process? Were milestones met on time? How long did the whole process take? How was dealing with the training/support team? Are you happy with the end result? Would you have done anything different...

    ENGINEERING OF JOB IMPOSITIONS FOR LARGE WEB/SHEETFED OPERATION

    I'd like to get a feel for how many prepress departments are responsible for taking written information (text only, no drawings) and engineering the impositions for sheetfed and full web, how many receive hand-drawn layouts as a reference for creating the imposition in Preps, Metrix, etc., and...

    3rd Party Inks for HP Scitex FB500?

    Magenta and light magenta are very weak and salmon in hue; the black, cyan and light cyan are weak. I suspect there are no 3rd party inks available, but it's worth asking.

    How do I know what version to open with CS'ssss

    We also use Bridge to determine what the creation version is. We then create a sub-folder such as CS5, CS5.5...whatever. That way the next operator knows what to do. In some cases, we get files for the same job from different sources and have to manage the job in separate versions–lots of fun...
