    AI, jpeg export, overprints

    That was the first thing I did. It doesn't work. (My Acro 11 don't have "Export to" — only "Save as image"). Thanks for the link.

    AI, jpeg export, overprints

    Hello, colleagues. I recently noticed that overprints are not visible when exporting to a jpg. I have never paid attention to it, and now the customer is confused and asks strange questions.

    Rubber for varnishing. Cutting technology and cutting plotter.

    Its very. Very-very-very expensive and flexo was one of the previvous steps. It is not a solution. My Middle Age "technologies" is better by all money costs — plates and work.

    Rubber for varnishing. Cutting technology and cutting plotter.

    Hello, colleagues. With the development of production and with increasing requirements (the tolerance is no longer 1 mm, but 0.5 mm for many cases) for applying varnish, I began to switch to new types of rubber for this varnish.

    Do I need Indesign?

    INDD is just a tool. Very powerful and very expensive. Its only for you to decide what exactly do you want to use (and pay for it) — Adobe software, Corel (hmm..), Scribus (freeware, someone uses).
