Thanks, caveman. We just purchased the cut server option. I believe we will be up and running in no time. I appreciate your tip!

We just got a gorgeous Summa S2 Class 160T Vinyl Cutter for our shop, BUT the question is can we get our new Fiery XF Version 6 workflow to control it? Anyone using this combo? Any guidance is appreciated!

I recently downloaded and printed a 395 page manual for Fiery Version 5. It was on the EFI website, but I wanted a manual for Version 6, which I'm getting within a couple of weeks. I think there have been some changes since this last manual was offered. It seems somewhat vague. I am totally new...

I once had banding and pin striping the plates coming out of my imagesetter. The cause was attributed to a faulty cable connection. Once the cable was secured, the banding issue was resolved. Is your printer driver up to date? Could a software issue be the culprit?

Your advice was GREAT! It did exactly what I hoped it would. Thanks, bean66. Shortly after enjoying this success, I sent out an email to tell my coworkers the following: I was able to add a mark to every one of our plates. The mark includes the following information: Plot Date Plot Time...

I'll try that next, thanks! I'm using 3.0.1. Everything was fine until we "upgraded."

This isn't really an overlap problem so much as a layering issue. We will send some items to back so that the glue tabs will not obscure the art on adjoining pieces, but when we save the Pandora imposition, the items will pop back to their original layer, causing the overlap issues. The die...

When saving my Pandora imposition file, the layering of nested files changes by itself. In other words, glue flaps on items suddenly will print over the art on nearby items. The odd thing is that the program will allow me to send items to back or bring them to front, but they become undone upon...

Thanks, bean66! I'll give it a try tomorrow morning.

I'd like to add a smart mark to my plates. I want it to indicate which specific curve has been applied to the plate upon output (e.g. Linear, SBS Stock, CCLB Stock, Uncoated Stock, etc.) Any ideas how this can be accomplished? Also, if this can be done, is there any way to specify where I would...

The only time I ever saw anything like this was when my Acrobat Distiller was manually told not to embed specific fonts when converting an EPS file into a PDF. But I don't think we got boxes in the place of type. We just got a default font. Myriad Pro I want to say. Check your Acrobat Distiller...

Oh my God! I hope they don't eliminate India Pale Ales! Oh, wait. Different IPA. Nevermind... :p

Better late than never, eh? So I've got a Windows 2000 server. My shop only has Macs, though. And only the iMacs have CS5 on them. @RickS & Kansasquaker: Version 7.02 software? Which software? Are you guys referring to Windows 7? I've tried all manner of opening the CS5 files, double-clicking...

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! I'm at home now, but I'll be trying each of the things you recommended tomorrow. I'll be able to answer some of the other questions posed above as well. :)

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Argh! I hate being a "pioneer." lol

Okay, so here's my dilemma: I cannot open an InDesign CS5 file over the network on my new iMac. Some ID CS5 files open fine but others give me this message: "You may not have permission or the document may be open already." What the??? :confused: I've tried various ways to open these problem...

Quark has addressed a few nagging file prep issues in it's latest version (i.e. 8.1.6.2), namely exporting transparencies natively, but what amazes me is their total lack of high resolution overprint preview, such as the one found in Adobe Creative Suite (all versions). Image previews are very...

Thanks, Matt. I like to run InDesign files through FlightCheck as well, because it's a bit more robust than InDesign's built in preflight tool. I like the scale and output resolution information FC affords.

I finally got FlightCheck and I'm very happy with it. I love the customization features. Sometimes, you just gotta dig deep and do what you've got to in order to keep up with the demands of the industry. Price of doing business.

Thanks, Shawn. I appreciate your input. I think we're in luck. The planets have aligned and we're starting to see some new hardware to go along with our new software! ;)
