    Turnaround - Rush - Share your best most rediculous horror stories!

    I once had a customer that 4 times a year would have us print a 4-pager (1500 quantity) but they would wait until the last possible minute to release art to us because of all the text changes they loved to make (and then make more after we proofed it!). So, about 11pm on a SATURDAY NIGHT, they...

    latest ink cartridges for epson 9880 not being recognized by printer

    Although I cannot speak specifically about the 9880, I do have a couple P9000's. Several months ago, Epson announced they were redesigning their ink cartridges for their SureColor series (I...think...it was because of chip shortages but don't quote me on this) and as such, a firmware update...

    Microsoft Publisher No Longer Supported After Oct 2026

    I will say that when MS introduced version (I think it was 2003), they finally added CMYK and spot color output capabilities which was a home run. In the last year, I bought the latest version of Office and discovered that the CMYK and spot color support was removed from Publisher (if it's...

    Press can't match proofs after years of little trouble

    What Gordo said but to add to it, here are some questions to consider: How long ago did you start having issues matching press color to proof? Did something change right before this issue started? Such as... Ink vendor/manufacturer/recipe? Was something added to the inks to solve some other...

    Quark Xpress 2024 ver 20.02 font problem

    I am assuming that you and the publisher are using the same version of QXP? If so, are you both on the same platform (Mac? Windows?). It's been quite a while since I've had to use QuarkXPress so my memory is fuzzy. Could there be a Quark preference setting that is configured differently between...

    CTP Plates ECO3 problem

    I agree with @maxon. If the problem were due to underexposure, you would be seeing the issue shown in the video in all non-image areas and not just on certain parts of the plate. Roller problem?
