I will certainly let you know. Thanks for getting this thing up and running. I look forward to connecting someday and working on some stuff with you.

If we figure out the "It's a bit manual" pain point, you've got something here. I use SmartStream and it can do this sort of automatically but it is not as intuitive on certain things. It creates two separate impositions on the sheet and the gap between those two impositions is kind of tricky to...

After reading the post above this response, you nailed it. This is the way... Thank you for bringing it up.

I was going to mention QR codes and barcode generations. Layout generations would be another roadmap feature for sure. I have honestly never messed around with Inkscape so I am about to dig into that tonight... Great work though, this is turning out well!

Awesome, thank you! You mentioned you were a developer, I would be very interested in talking with you in general if you are up for it. I know a lot about the printing industry and would love to build more powerful tools to help it into the future. I am currently working on this site (it is...

I am working on some software myself but I am a prepress/designer by trade. Is you project in a Github repo I could check out? I am interested in this concept and would love to check it out.

Thank you for the knowledge and insight. I learned everything about printing from my Step-Dad - whose story is similar to yours. He started working in a print shop when he was 14 years old, ran presses, managed production then did sales and now owns a shop that has been running over 20 years and...

Hello all! It has been a while since my initial post but I have created a set of modules and tools that I think will be helpful for those designers I was talking about. This is a work in progress and I would love some feedback from fellow industry professionals. Printssistant.com is the...

Yep, I am definitely using their perspective to guide my thoughts for this structure.

You are not wrong about this. We promote free tours to all of our new customers and designers especially, encouraging them to bring their team out and to see all the machinery in action that they can. It can be helpful at time. I do believe, though, you could never step foot in a print shop and...

If the Marx quote stands true, we might be in good shape with AI then. :) The 'AI' being referred to here is actually machine learning. What is it learning? Over 30 years of combined prepress and print shop experience, ranging in capabilities from sheet fed to flatbed, round cornering to clear...

Hey everyone, I'm Benjamin, 8-year prepress professional from a family commercial print shop (20+ years collective experience). Like all of you (or maybe not), I spend way too much time fixing the same designer file issues repeatedly. The problem isn't that designers don't care - most want to...
