Consider this my resignation from this forum in protest. I have rather strong feelings about any vendor muscling people from speaking freely and openly without the overt or direct threat of defamation. I've read most of your posts regarding this subject D and although they may be passionate I...

I'm looking through the plethora of W2P systems out there still and I have come across PageFlex by Bitstream (the same people who run myfonts). I don't hear much word-of-mouth about this solution so I'm looking for actual end-user feedback. Does anybody out there have any experience with this...

Looks like people are biting on that discounted offer on Printable FusionPro. Please give us some feedback on it.

heh. Leave it to Microsoft to neuter basic functionality across different versions of Windows.

hah! They probably would have been demoing 5.0 at the show had that been true though. The new Prinance > Signa Station integration was pretty neat at the show but still no gang-run(montage) support. Rumor is R&D has started overhauling the web interfaces (webaccess, remoteaccess) using...

Loads of chemistry and chemical reactions happen on the press. The drip-off varnish effect is good example of that. There are lists of inks that cannot be coated with a standard coating without reaction (generally the color changing type and not the explosive heat generating type). Talk to your...

I've been heavily researching uDirect (XMPie), FusionPro (Printable), and a few others. I attended Print 09 and went through atleast 10 VDP demos from the big guys to the little guys. Below are my feelings, I am not affiliated with any of these companies nor have I purchased any of these...

This sounds like a neat piece. Please follow up on how things go. I haven't had the chance to play with the different densities of black. I did however once pre-flight/impose a piece printed on Yupo with waterproof ultra dense black ink (I can't for the life of me remember the ink....kamudra?)...

If the printed piece is CMYK (special K) talk to the printer and make sure they understand your needs. If the work is Black + Pantone color(s) you could design using a pantone process black or the like and once again then communicate to the printer what your needs are. Using a pantone process...
