I've used the CF375 for a long time. 80 text will work, but it's not ideal. The best stocks are cover stocks. It's meant more for digitally printed material, and for doing score and folds. I have folded as thin as 60# text on it before, but it's not the best for that application. I have not...

In my opinion a plant tour is always the best way to determine a high quality shop. If you go there and see a messy place and old equipment that doesn't look taken care of, then that is a red flag to me. I want to work with a company that is well organized and uses newer equipment, or at least...

Here is my recent video on how to create proof sheets and why they are important. Hope someone gets some use of it.

Glad you found it helpful. I've got a couple others on my channel that might be of interest to you. Feel free to check those out and leave a comment. Thanks.

Another one.

Thought I'd share.

Thought I'd share. Let me know if you have a better way, I'm not super familiar with barcode generation besides doing it this way.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Troublesome PDFs like this, I usually export as a .ps file and then run it through Distiller using whatever settings I like. Seems to do the trick 99% of the time.

I find this method faster than using Illustrator. Let me know what you think.

Got another one. Hope it helps some folks as always.

Pdf snake is a good one. Lots of quick ways to do little impositions.

Most certainly. Although i usually create proofs one up and then place into a spread for output. If I make edits it’s usually in the one up file.

Try running a calibration and see what the curves show after measurement. Maybe your black imaging unit needs to be replaced. Once you run the calibration it should give you a better idea of what your getting vs. what your target density should be. If it's way off it's probably time to call a...

Another short one, this one shows how to quickly rasterize all objects on a PDF with a preflight.

Hi Everyone. I know a lot of folks know how to do this already, but here is a quickie on how to use InDesign Data Merge to quickly typeset and impose business cards. I also show how to use PDF Snake online to impose as well. Hope you enjoy.

Fiery RIPs are easy, in my opinion. Currently we use a Heidelberg Prinect for our Versafire EP, but I used to work with one that used the Fiery, and to be honest the Fiery is easier to navigate. The most important area is the "Spot On" tab, so that you can properly mix CMYK output to match a...

Had a request on this one. Hope it helps:

Here you go:

I think @famerdave has one. I'm not sure how to tag another user, but look him up on some of his posts and you can DM him.

I'm going to do a video for you tonight that will help you out then. I'll post it in the forum here and then reply again to this thread.
