My two cents worth - I think we will see offset printing start competing with digital press and production by finding new effective ways to print much lower volumes - and even if they don't, I agree with chev… I know some printers that have machines that are as old as thirty or even forty...

I have also tried to wrap my head around colour management in ID and AI etc… Let me know if this correct - it's the way I've been doing it for years and so far I havn't had any major problems… Before I start the artwork I will ask my printer what profile they use etc … and setup my...

As a designer (primarily) I totally agree with the above post - except that you there is no excuse not to find out… I have found the client doesn't care about squat except "How much am I paying" and "Was it done right, on time?"… if I am a designer who makes first contact with a client - and...

Can I ask a question? Do you guys charge for major / minor prepress changes, corrections etc? We are very strict in South Africa - Ive yet to meet a printer that will correct for free - even small changes and also they all simply refuse to accept your job if it is not setup correctly - They all...

who remembers word perfect ( I had version 5.1) at no point could you see your formatting - only when you printed it out - so if you wanted italics, you would select the text, make the font changes and it would highlight in yellow - then bold, the same, highlighted in red - then you printed it...

Im not sure if this might help - but I had a similar problem a few years back - also a small printing company (Digital) but we outsource a lot to Offset… Eventually - I just booked each job into a system as it arrived before I even started working on it. I had no mandate from management and...

I would have outsourced this head-ache instantly to a much bigger printer that can do it with ease and promise on deadlines etc and marked it up like only a cent or two - a markup of 1 cent would give you 20 000 just for handling the job between - which is better than the risk of missing...

Oh Boy - don't get me started on colour!! AGAIG-C Standard - As Good As It Gets - Considering (your crappy artwork, your insistence that bright green on a screen should be as bright on paper…) WYSIWYG - P - What You Signed Is What You'll Get - Probably (cos investing in proper colour...

deep deep down under our sunshiny smiles we hate you offset print guys - but only cos we're super jealous - digital print has opened up such a big can of worms in terms of flexibility and customer expectations - offset just says - this is what we can do - can't do - but my word look how cheap...

Greetings, John from Johanessburg, South Africa - 40 Year old Copy Shop that started selling technical drafting equipment and doing plan copies and evolved into a copy shop and now evolving into a digital production shop - Typical "Copy Shop" stuff - Mimaki Print/Cut CJV3-130, 2 x OCE...

I don't think the majority of people realize the power of being able to print a 3d object - one excellent way of thinking about it is to not think about the machine as the last part in the process… in other words - if I need a metal bolt or doo-hicky that i can't find i can print a plastic one...

Ha Ha!! The magical word there in your discourse is "Upto"… our printer can print "Upto 300gsm" heavy weight stock…. "Upto 60ppm" and so forth - watch how nervous the sales guys get when you try and remove the "Upto" and pin them down to commit to a sustainable continuous specification…...

Thanks - Yes, the C75 is only being launched in our country in the next few months - we will definitely be looking at it - I have always been impressed with the print quality of Xerox - although I am fast coming to the conclusion the print quality is really as good as it needs to be, probably...

Sorry - Yes - Work and Turn through bypass - print one side finished - turn - shift image to line up - then print - how consistently does is the image laid down in the same place.

In my country (South Africa - Similar economy to Brazil - Developing 3rd World) our print shop (40 years old) has been quiet for a long time - two years or more - and we offer walking while you wait service from solvent signage to production printing to colour copies to lamination as well as...

We have the C452 Unfortunately - just as a sort of backup machine for short silly runs - like 20 pieces - its a total piece of Garbage - its not a production machine by any stretch of the imagination, this I have always known - but even if it was in an office environment where quality and...

After looking at Xerox 550, KM6000 and 1060l we have looked at the Ricoh 5100s We need an entry level production machine (Volume about 15 000 large size / month) They very flexible on copy click price, they very helpful in finding solution, not just trying to sell as much as possible. We've...

I ditched Windows two years ago and went to MAC - Primarily I am a designer - which means Im solving problems, and Windows, for me anyway - is really not a tool to help ones productivity - I cannot believe how much less effort stuff takes on a Mac - I use Mac Book Pro at Home and at work I add a...

Hi @msaeger The embedded Fiery is E22b and the stand-alone is E42b - Comes with Command Workstation, Impose and Compose - I told them to leave off the Fiery Basic Arts Package at $2000 and the Spectrometer Pack at $4200…. just too expensive and I don't need a graphic arts package - we design...
