    Fastest Way to Typeset and Impose Business Cards Using Adobe InDesign & Data Merge

    Did you mention... Data Merge > Create Merged Document ? That's a nice feature to make it into an ID file that contains all the business cards/documents into one ID file that has individual pages of each item. This way, as you get future orders with minor edits to one or few cards, you can edit...

    Shopping For A Digital Press: Lessons Learned

    lol, yup, and what does the "guarantee" even mean. Do you get a refund if they don't? We had a service contract that said "guarantee", but meant nothing. As for buying a press, I'd recommend that anyone in the process bring their actual paper to a demo. I had a boss buy a machine for mailing...

    I'm just doing the math from the subject line. If 1/3 are dead as of next year, then 2/3 are not dead. yeah?

    One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024

    umm, if 2/3s of newspapers are continuing indefinitely, then newspapers aren't dead? at this pace, it looks like newspapers will continue for a few more decades.

    One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024

    I find this news shocking. I've been told that print is dead for 20 years. Yet, this is saying that 2/3 of newspapers will continue indefinitely. I'm impressed. This is very good news for the print industry. Tho I wouldn't recommend a young person get into the industry. I can't imagine that...

    MultiPage Importer for Adobe InDesign

    i was not aware there was a functioning script for ID extraction... http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/all/extractpages.html It's a little concerning that it hasn't been updated since CS6. I sure hope it does not crash my system or corrupt my files. I'll duplicate my files first to try it.

    MultiPage Importer for Adobe InDesign

    they better not remove that script! I need them to add one that will take a multi-page ID file and save it as several one-page ID files.

    Xerox Versant 3100 and 180 end of support

    as long as you have service, I don't think it matters. Tho my v80 became difficult for the techs to get parts for. That said... I was told about a year before service for my v80 was ended. I have received no notification for the v180

    Best Synthetic Paper for Ricoh Pro C7200S?

    I have been in prniting a very long time, synthetic paper has always caused me issues due to static build up. I think my point is... be patient and know that it causes problems for other printers too. My solution is... patience. Discharging the static from the paper before, during and after is...

    Konica 7100 second pass printing

    I've had to do this with other machines. While I'm not familiar with the konica 7100, old school "trapping" has been required for a variety of digital presses that I've worked on.

    Backlit graphic poster production on offset press

    I'm guessing they'd have to print both sides of substrate before the client can sign off. Perhaps print the entire quantity of side one, then have client do a press-proof with side two on press so adjustments can be made on side two before running the rest of side two. I should think that any...

    Backlit graphic poster production on offset press

    I don't do offset, so... if I was doing this on a digital press that has a 5th color option, I'd manually mask out areas with white ink so some is more illuminated than the rest. The white ink area would not need a CMYK double hit on the reverse side. This is obviously only for short runs, but...

    crazy requests

    umm, did they forget how reality worked? Or maybe they've seen "zoom in and enhance!" too much in movies? But I had to read your post THREE times before I began to understand the request. PS: Love the movie "Stripes"!

    edge printing on Xerox V280

    edge printing on Xerox V280

    Some of my clients send me 8.5"x11" prints without bleed. I normally just reduce the file to 96% and get good enough white margins. A teammate didn't reduce, printed as-is and client noticed that one margin was about twice the size as the opposite side. I always thought that the margins...
