Hi guys! I've had a cumbersome task sometimes, if a company wants 5 different names with 12 various backs, there is no easy way to do this, since PDF 1 would contain the 5 names, and PDF 2 would contain the 12 different backs. I've googled solutions, but never found any that really solved my...

I would say that if you print quarter of a million businesscards every day, you DO have a cutter, no matter what ;) Besides that, all the "small" autocutters for business cards I've seen, requires some kind of precutting before entering the machine (we just had a machine in for a demo, and it...

Hi Stan! It's just a plain Polar 78 (we are printing 46x32 cm sheets on Indigo / NexPress), nothing extraordinary about it. How do you handle such a big volume right now, 250.000 cards each day is quite a lot, I'm thinking something like VistaPrint? Regards, Tommy

If I'm getting you right, you need to cut 250.000 business cards each day? If so, I don't think pricing around 100k should be an issue, since you should make some kind of money doing this, and the saving in manual labour will make it up quite fast. We only print 20.000 cards each day, and the...

Hi there! We have a HP Indigo 5500, which runs with the built in RIP. Unfortunately, this RIP lacks a lot of features, that even small office printers have. One of the most annoying things is that if I submit a PDF file with images or text in RGB 0-0-0, the RIP outputs it as CMYK...

We have a HP Indigo 5500, which both is cheaper to print on and runs faster, if it only prints in one color. We have a hotfolder which works fine, if we will print a color job in greyscale, since it converts the entire document. But sometimes a customer asks us if we can print a job where page...

Actually, I have found a way :) I have attached a PDF file with the formula to calculate density values, it's not rocket science, just type the formula in Excel and the measure from your densitometer, and voila - you have it! /Tommy

I hate to say this, but I think you're out of luck :/ I did a job last year, also with uImage personalization, and InDesign crashed ALL the time, until I gave up and did the job in batches of 20 records - hard time doing, as there was 2000 records, and each output took about half an hour :(...

Hi! It's the accuracy of the calibration I'm concerned about (since you know Indigo, I can tell you that I can do every calibration without any problems, but it fails on color accuracy validation, and if I run that five times in a row, without doing anything else, it gives me five different...

Hi! I have an HP Indigo 5500, which is making me a bit nervous, I don't think it is calibrating it self correct (long story and a lot of prints!), so I was wondering how do I do a manual validation? I have ProfileMaker 5.10 and a i1 Pro as available tools. My first thought was to create a...
