Re: Long PC File Name Fix? I'm trying CIFS for a select few jobs, but here's another reason that CIFS is not an adequate substitute for AFP. I'm not able to burn fonts from a CIFS volume to CD/DVD. Well, technically, I can burn them but it fails the verification saying it is unable to read...

Re: FontAgent Pro vs Suitcase Fusion? We use Suitcase Fusion here. I've tried to use Font Explorer, but I'd gladly pay for Fusion's cleaner easier to use interface

Re: Concentric Screening ? Gordo, you wrote: >" I have to disagree, reduced ink layer/film thickness is not the cause of increased chroma... >There are other contributors to increased chroma, one of which is the more even film of ink across the surface of small dots, or in the case of...

Re: Ink Saving solution? Because the dot is really concentric rings, the dot uses less ink thickness since it can gain in both directions from the ring. A normal dot requires more ink since it can only gain from the edge of the dot out. Another thing to consider is that the originally...

Re: White lines in PDF I get calls about this almost daily. The white lines are showing what Adobe calls the "atomic regions", where images are broken up to as a result of transparency being applied. Turn off "Smooth line art" and "Smooth images" in Acrobats Page Display preferences and the...

Re: Concentric Screening ? Yes, both prepress and pressroom need to be aware of what's going on. From my testing, the key component to the ability to do concentric screening is your plate. While EAWS claims maintaining a 2x2 grid to plate may work, maintaining a 1x1 grid to plate (without...

Re: Transparency issues with In Design Can you use X-4 instead of X-1a? I'm quessing the fiery is color managing the rsater area like it would a scan, non-raster areas don't get the same management. PDF X-4 is still a draft so unless your equipment is very modern, it may not support it. The...

Re: Dot shape for web presses We frequently output our yellow at a different line screen than the other three colors to prevent moire patterns. I've also read that some use stochastic screening for their yellow and conventional screens for the other inks with success.

Re: InDesign Page Information - slug line Nope, it still shifts off center if Page Information is checked in CS3.

Re: InDesign Page Information - slug line I think if you actually have a slug in your layout with page number, filename and color information, you can turn off Page Information in the "Marks" of the Print dialog. It happens to us all the time and can make imposition a problem because the trim...

Re: AGFA Imagesetter It is very important that when "Full Resolution" is checked, that the resolution spec'd in the Print Dialog is the actual resolution being used on the device because Quack will max out to that defined resolution. I'd also recommend trashing the OPI extension, it seems to...

Re: 1-bit TIFF Inspection On ocassion I'll use Photoshop to view 1-bit Tiffs. If you set the dropper tool to a large size, say 5 x 5, and view the image reduced, you can get screen value percentages. And you can use the measure tool to get the screen angle by "measuring thru the dots. You...

Re: Nexus 8.6 rev 1 Joe, is there still an issue with InDesign CS3 files running from an Intel box not getting the correct document page number (I print page 5, but it appears as page 1) in Nexus? I know I can turn on "run with Rosetta" to get around it, but I don't want to take the performance...

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? I contacted AWS (or is it EAWS??) and have included their response here: "Nexus currently only support Services for Mac to determine where the Mac share is located. At this point we have no information of what will be used in the future. The request for smb support...

Re: Inexpensive & Easy imposition software I'm using InDesign for my impositions. With some custom applescripting, a "marks" library and print presets it works very well.

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? Nexus client software will run on Mac OS only. There was a time when you could get the server software for Mac or Windows, but at the time the performance hit to go Mac was too steep. I'm not sure if its still available for Mac OS, but if it is I'll bet the...

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? My Nexus links (windows format with extension) and pages (CT-LW, have Unix icon in Finder but not in Open dialog) work correctly with CIFS when opening directly from InSight, but the NexusEdit button in NexusManager does not. And that's a deal breaker. I'll contact...

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? I remember when OS X was first released being excited about not having to use Suitcase, but at the time the real world experience proved to painful. But Font Book and OS X have matured. I'll try it the for awhile and see if I can overcome my addiction to Suitcase...

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? How are you managing your fonts? Testing here has shown that CIFS mounted fonts will install with Suitcase (12.1.3) ok and work with QX, but not with Adobe apps (that's a first, usually its the other way around). It appears to work with our backup system as well...

Re: Long PC File Name Fix? I'm quessing that Joe is missing the point that once all your files have been transfered to the CIFS volume you no longer need the AFP volume, right? What are the file/folder character restrictions for CIFS? I tried goggling for more info but got lost in the geek speak.
