I've actually never even heard of Adobe Express so I must not have any customers using it yet. Interesting. At least Adobe is smart enough to realize they're going to need to step up their competition. Not surprised to hear that their exporting skills are not up to Canva's level yet. It took...

I wonder how long before Canva decides to stop allowing customers to download high resolution PDF files, basically, locking them into only being able to "order printing" through their partners.

Our Canon printer has the same thing. It asks us to specify the number in the tab sets but then doesn't appear to actually do anything with the information. It never ejects unused tabs or actually respect that they're supposed to be ordered. IE if there is a paper jam it doesn't reset back to...

I don't work with software companies that don't list their pricing upfront. How am I supposed to know if it's a out of my budget before I even start. I'm definitely not giving you my contact information to try your online demo because if I don't like it then I've still been dropped into a...

We had this all the time on our v2100s and it was always worn out gears/rollers. One side pulling the paper faster than another causing a wrinkle. We had a great tech and he would stop the paper in the path until he figured out where the wrinkle was being introduced and then fix the problem and...

We get it all the time and it is an indesign facing pages problem. It never actually causes a problem in the final print because fiery impose deletes that edge. We don’t worry about it, it’s easy to explain to customers. It would actually be more of a problem if it wasn’t included because then...

Could it be a UV activated epoxy. I've seen that once from a boutique puzzle company, the finish was super high gloss and hard as a rock. It actually made the puzzle really difficult to do because the glare was so high, so while it was cool, I felt it was impractical. From what I understand of...

<internal debate about getting out the soapbox> sorry, yall. I lost the battle. <pulls out soapbox> <clears throat> I’m against this whole philosophy because it taught an entire generation of kids that work wasn’t supposed to be work. Choose work you are good at and pays you enough to do what...

Our print shop is exploring hiring someone to work part-time evenings (6pm - 9pm) in prepress (remotely) but we are PST so that’s might be a bit late for the East Coast folks. Job is very basic stuff in InDesign and Adobe. We are willing to hire people that are overqualified so if you’re...

They have meetings where they report to everyone above them about what the person below them did. The person below them spent all day having meetings about what the person below them did. Somewhere under that pile is the person trying to actually do something but they have to have approval from...

The machine has been calibrated to death at this point. I had the techs come calibrate it themselves and they sent canon’s fiery expert. And we tried using a new spectrometer as well and new white plate. I’ll give changing it to perceptual a try tomorrow. It just seems like a bad idea to leave...

We have multiple teachers that print with our print shop because the district’s print shop is too expensive. They get a budget for printing every year and can use that budget at the school district’s shop or if they print with us they just put in for a reimbursement out of their budget. Once...

We have a persistent problem with one of the canon printers (out of four we are running) where everything is printing with a tint of pink. It’s not just one customer’s file. Canon techs have gone over the machine and say there’s nothing wrong with it. They’ve reloaded fiery software multiple...

For those of you who are using Fiery, what are your default settings on this screen and why did you choose them?

I'm starting to think the Fiery is the source of all our color issues as well.

That's what I was thinking. 5k a day seems like a lot of volume for one machine. The j75 will run really awfully unless you're running a certain amount out of it on a regular basis. It doesn't work as a backup machine at all. At least it didn't for us. We had a j75 left on a lease when we got...

We've been having trouble with our DC-618 not fully ejecting sheets and the problem is getting worse with time. We clean the rollers regularly but we've put about 700k prints through the machine in the last 20months. The repair tech says we probably need to replace the rollers as they wear out...

Sometimes I like to look at old photos of busy streets from 100+ years ago just to look at the sea of people and realize that... every single person in those photos is dead. It reassures me that the problems we think matter today probably don't in the long run.

I appreciate this sentiment. I still look back at the people I hired when I first started out and feel badly about how I managed and worked with them. I'm only now starting realize that they just weren't the right people and I should have gotten rid of them much faster than I did. I used to...

We have a Duplo 618 and the magnetic guides that come with it are not very robust. Specifically the longer one for the intake tray. Additionally, the ones that came with our machine are not actually square which causes problems as the stacks raise and lower because the paper gets stuck unless we...
