Re: Survey about use of Acrobat on the Mac Hi Leonard. First, I am using a Xenith Xitron Extreme PDF workflow. I always export directly out of InDesign to PDF, leaving transparency intact. I use a modified Press Quality preset. The only modification I make to that preset is to take the...

Re: Xitron Forum? Amen brother! I just got the latest upgrade with a new screaming monster of a server box. I love it except the screening for my Epson takes forever! They have gone to 2 bit screening, not sure if that is the problem. I have a Web-X session scheduled for monday, maybe it's just...

Re: Konica thermal plates Interesting. We have a guy trying to pitch the Konica plates right now. Are you guys using the cheaper, pre-bake plates or the commercial?

Re: Rumor has it there are musicians around... Dude, we're right there! I have a TON of Tool on ye ol iPod! I was raised on Floyd, Zep, Steely Dan and the Beatles. I can play MOST anything on bass but lately I have been working on some challenging drum riffs... Parabolis by Tool is a pain in my...

Re: Rumor has it there are musicians around... It is indeed fun. I have been acquiring various instruments since high school and now I have enough for our usual BBQ and friday night rock fights. I rescued the upright bass from a grade school. The poor thing was abused and the sound peg had even...

Re: Rumor has it there are musicians around... Why do bagpipe players walk while they play? To get away from the noise!

Re: Joke of the Day A couple had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the wife says, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the old man said. "We were probably sitting here naked as a...

Re: Going Web You are very right! Multi webs are confusing as hell for everyone so proper labeling is a must! When I first started creating Preps templates for multi webs, I would place the half web in my template, in the same position as on the press. In the case of the 44 pg I posted, it...

Re: Going Web We run both sheetfed and web. You probably won't be running many multi-web jobs with only 5 units unless they're 1 color. I would have to say that understanding pagination of multi-web signatures as opposed to assembling signatures off line is the hardest thing to grasp especially...
