If we switc h up to Windoze 7, is that an upgrade or do I need to do a nuke and pave? I'm only a slight bit fearful of nuke and pave with Windoze machines.

As I am finding out, Vista is one slow dog. I started this job a month ago with 25 years in prepress. We are a busy packaging and carton shop. The PC I inherited is a Vista running HP Pavillion 64 bit, 4 gb ram Home edition. I am running Adobe CS4 and in line to purchase Pitstop. I am so used to...

That was my thought also. Vista seems like a real dog, without insult to all dogs and their owners! I suppose this is why our HP Z3100 takes forever to start printing files. I guess I'm checking into Windoze 7. Thanks, ultimate

What part of the picture am I missing. I am used to a Mac and things happening NOW. I am now on a Vista machine with Acrobat 9.4 (came with CS4), trial version of PitStop and 4GB RAM. But Vista is locking up 90% of the time. IS there anything I can do to speed Vista up? Do I need a newer version...

Correct. Once you start building layers you don't have any control if the last one you create you want to put up two layers. I suppose I can duplicate the layers in a pattern reminiscent of the puzzles with the little sliding tiles, but hoed for something more direct.

That only moves objects. I was hoping to change the order of layers.

We used to be able to move layers up and down in Pitstop but I am not finding that option in the new Pitstop Pro v10. Am I missing something? Thanks, Rick

Thank you, that is good information. I fear the high cost of repairs down the road.

You are correct, it is the Accento CTP I was speaking of. I will find some comparisons.

Thanks for the reply. I did not get my info correct. Azura is the plate, not the system.

After 11 months out of work, I have finally returned to the prepress workforce! After 25 years, I must be crazy! I do have a dilema: Anyone have any advice on either of these two? Our company is moving, finally , to CTP and looking at the Creo Trendsetter 800 Quantum. A reliable source is saying...

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think I mentioned 2 sided.

Figuring mileage on dull strike thru varnish Figuring mileage on dull strike thru varnish Is there a formula for figuring varnish coverage? I have an ink mileage calculator and just figured a job for dull strike thru and was made to believe that I have to order 400 #'s of varnish!! 52,000...

Well, I'm glad that's perfectly clear. Now where did I stash that PageMaker 1.0 floppy??

I should've known this was going to be an error when the job was written up. Ya can't paste bind a 20pg book...12 maybe, 8 maybe. 20 - not!
