Actually politics comes from the Greek polis (english spelling) which was their word for city-state, since all government was local in those days. The Romans would have said res publica, or the public thing, which gave us our word republic. I'm fairy certain our political system is at least as...

That's how I read it arossetti. Before UV we'd occassionally do that with heavy coverage jobs on uncoated stock. Although, I have no idea if it's still a work and turn or not. I think I'd call it sheetwise, we'd be making two sets of plates anyway.

This was probably posted by an intellectual who recognizes colloquial speech when he sees it, but pretends not to in order to adopt an air of superiority . . . or perhaps a foreigner who doesn't realize that languages, English included, are often spoken differently than they're written. See...

Are you printing with UV or solvent inks? I can't speak to solvent, but I can tell you that UV inks react very differently to different substrates (and omg do the substrates vary in comparison to the differences in paper). The only correct solution, imo, is to make a separate profile for each...

'Well, I have experience with 7 other printing firms. And I produced more than double my sales quota during the approximately six months I spent at each company.'

Haha, sorry. I really didn't mean to be a jerk and I'm not disappointed! Your post just wasn't as skeptical as most and that sort of thing does happen a lot. (most of the time people don't declare they're being compensated which IMO is completely unethical) Since that truly is your opinion...

Are you certain that the cards are printed squarely on the sheet? A lot of digital machines don't do a great job at printing the image square to the paper. Also, some will distort and/or the image from one end of the sheet to the other.

Yes me too! They always talk about speed and quality, but never mention the consumable cost. Digital will not make a significant dent in the volume of offset litho until they get the consumable cost down to something close to offset. I was told the cost for a 23x39 with moderate coverage on the...

I don't mean to be rude, but is this in any way a paid post?

One of the comments your referring to is probably mine. Like some others, we had to return XMF. (And Fuji threatened to sue us for doing so. They later changed their minds.) However, that was all mostly due to it's pathetic integration with EFI Metrix (which Fuji knew was a requirement for...

Quote from the article: “I can’t blame anyone for being cynical, after all I originally thought that most printing would be digital by 2010 and I was off by 98%!” [Landa] quipped. That's the most honest thing I've ever heard from one of these digital printing evangelists. He gained some respect...

But none of that will be a problem as long as he puts the eyedropper tool in photoshop over the area right? </sarc>

Let me put this in some perspective for you: 1. You say your work is 'highly color sensitive photographic images'. Therefore, the results you want already require a printer with a reasonably high degree of skill in color management. 2. You say you are printing on silk. That is an extremely...

To Craig and MailGuru, yes I understand your points. I'd just rather do business with companies that don't make it necessary for me to perpetually defend myself against their contracting practices. I have enough real issues to address. I don't need a hardware vendor creating artificial problems.

If it's a Xerox, don't be surprised if the click charges do make it unreasonable to continue running the machine. They raised our click cost 7.5% per year like clockwork and then the last year was 20%. I don't know about any other makes, but Xerox uses that click cost to force you to buy new...

Hahah! I know exactly what you mean . . .

There's a guy who invented something for that problem Arossetti. Link below: http://www.dyson.com

They're invariably the ones who say, "The proof was redder than I wanted but I didn't think it would really print that way."

I understood what you were doing just fine. I wasn't making any comment at all about automation with Preps 7/Prinergy. That was your assertion, not mine. I don't have any experience with it. If you read my post, you'll see that we were already Metrix users before buying Prinergy and...

I don't know about that. I think Preps 7 is pretty good, but like I said, we don't really use it much because we have Metrix do everything before Prinergy even sees a job. I'm not too familiar with other options, but Preps 7 seemed very functional. It's far better than the impo tool in Fuji...
