    RGB to CMYK conversion in Pitstop

    But why do you need to? An APPE-enabled RIP can do the same conversion as Photoshop.

    RGB to CMYK conversion in Pitstop

    Why not do the conversion in the RIP?

    Have you benefitted from the recent economic uptick!

    I think it's a bit of a blind alley. It can be used to support anything from a complete every-man-for-himself ideology to the forced sharing of everything equally. We're both a competitive and cooperative species. I'd rather talk about what actually benefits us.

    Have you benefitted from the recent economic uptick!

    Sure, but I'm sure you're doing your part with the occasional tribal dance.

    Have you benefitted from the recent economic uptick!

    You'd think we could only have one or the other. Neither free market capitalism or whatever one decides to call 'socialism' are going to the ash heap of history any time soon. The 'human nature' argument is pretty useless. Both competition and cooperation have made us such awesome primates.

    Over 50 unemployed Prepress Tech, should I call it quits for printing?

    I think Magnus was talking about 'other entitlements' for workers, not the unemployed.

    Over 50 unemployed Prepress Tech, should I call it quits for printing?

    I do, and I expect the correlation is the exact opposite of the one DYP insinuated. But maybe he has more direct experience than I have of how making the Australian workplace a more advantageous place to be has shattered young people's desire to enter it. ;)

    Did I mention we're printing exercise books?

    Fuzzy White Text on Maroon Background

    Not to mention the popularity of thin/ultralight font weights (that looks like Gotham, not Georgia, which probably could have stood it). I've seen some absolute beauties, and it puts you in a position of having to acknowledge the limitations of both yours and the clients' abilities...

    Automating the Conversion of all Text to Outlines in an AI or PDF document.

    Is the idea that each company can edit the files without all of them having the same fonts installed, though? If so, chances are the first edit that's requested will be a text change. Ummmm... Sounds like some fun up ahead.

    Automating the Conversion of all Text to Outlines in an AI or PDF document.

    If you save the PDF out of Illustrator without preserving Illustrator editing compatibility, and run the Acrobat Preflight to outline the text, it doesn't preserve the live text. Horrible workflow, though!

    Printer turns down work

    If you do, you can't possibly think that one idiot harassing a woman because of her religion, then bragging about it online and getting his collar felt (not sure if he was ever convicted), is evidence that 'In general white people in the UK are being bullied at every turn'. Agreed. It's as...

    Indd cc 2018

    Sierra at work, heavy use, no issues so far. High Sierra at home, light use, no issues so far. FontExplorer plugins became available yesterday, too.

    Opacity masks in Illustrator and Esko

    I'd do it using multiple fills in the Appearance palette in Illy. See attached. Because the 396 shapes are above the black, I've added a 396 fill to the black object, under the black fill, and set the black fill to multiply. For the Dark Gray to Bluish gray gradient, I've changed the gradient to...

    Printer turns down work

    It might do if you considered this man as representative of 'white people in the UK', and you considered being held accountable for harassing innocent women as being bullied...

    Printer turns down work

    Yeah, thanks for that. But back to the completely unrelated subject I asked about, what gives you the impression that 'white people in the UK are being bullied at every turn'?

    Printer turns down work

    What gives you this preposterously false impression? EDIT: I'm inclined to agree with the first part. If this printer were already known to specialise in literature for Christian groups, then it does look like a set-up to generate a story. It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's...

    Printing Evolution - Thirty Years Past to Present

    The purpose of craft isn't craft for craft’s sake. It isn't to provide employment. It's to provide a product or service that we need, and continually improving the way we achieve that efficiently and to a high standard is craftsmanship in itself. If you're good at it, then you'll find plenty of...

    EFI Color Profiler Spot Color Question....

    Which book? It's a pretty dull orange compared to notorious 021. I can't even see a change on screen when I convert from Pantone's Lab values to FOGRA39 CMYK, so I expect a pretty good match is possible.

    EFI Color Profiler Spot Color Question....

    Is the source profile the same, and is spot colour matching switched on for both machines? If so, does the spot colour print the same on both machine if you turn spot colour matching off? This will bypass the built-in/custom spot colour libraries that mastegman referred to, and either use the...
