    Macintosh - Happy 30th birthday

    Useless Trivia… did you know that the 1984 commercial ran first on December 31st, 1983 in Twin Falls, Idaho? This was so it would be eligible of all of the advertising award programs for that year.

    HP Indigo screen angles

    You are correct. We have both a 5000 and a 5500. Do you know if this has been improved with the 7600? Thanks for your reply!

    HP Indigo screen angles

    Thanks Gordo! You might be right... Unfortunately with their screening angles, tints with Cyan and/or Black look very bad at any edges that are perfectly vertical or horizontal.

    HP Indigo screen angles

    Would anyone be able to educate me on the screen angles that HP uses on their Indigo presses? Cyan = 4° Magenta = 64° Yellow = 18° Black = 34° Is there a reason for this? Has anyone printed with traditional angles?

    Anchor points not showing

    In Illustrator, under the View menu, see if the "Hide Edges" is showing. It is says "Show Edges", that might be your problem.

    Business Jargon

    I believe the correct quote is "I couldn't care less." "I could care less" shows that you still have concerns.

    Has anybody taken the plunge yet? Have any of your customers supplied files from QXP 10? I know that I should purchase at least one copy, but I can count on my fingers how many QXP 9 files I've received since it was released 2.5 years ago. I have 12 users using Adobe Creative Suite, everyday...

I BEGGED him for a job. He hired me under the table to punch all the new plated for our brand new Goss...

    Acrobat CC

    That statement confirms the common sentiment that Adobe has become the arrogant 800-lb Gorilla and that they have forgotten about customer service. This is the same mentality that doomed Quark back in the day.
