    Move objects on Layer same distance?

    What version of PitStop? Are you just trying to do a step and repeat? Will this always be a fixed distance, or will the trim box vary and it is just the gutter/offset that is fixed at 0.25 inches? P.S. And do you really wish to separate the original content from the repeated content in two...

    Variable data for Illustrator

    Illustrator’s variables create new files from the source files, is that OK or do you wish to have the variables “live” in the source file without creating “merged” files? Where will the variable data come from? A spreadsheet? Metadata in the linked file? Illustrator has long supported...

    Where to find very strong GCR ?

    The legacy custom CMYK max. K setting is good for comic book conversions and screenshots (perhaps with the trapping command) – but I would not use it for general photographic content. The coated_FOGRA39_GCR_bas.icc is very good, it is just a little bit short of a “ink saving profile”… Why don’t...

    How to calculate shipping weight

    This is all factored in and taken for granted in a good print MIS (disclaimer – a somewhat biased link). Stephen Marsh

    Update: Dov has closed down the topic thread at the Adobe forums, it appears that he has replied to you on yet another cross post at the CreativePro forums. It would be nice if you shared the final answer. Here are some words of wisdom from a certain mailing list: Stephen Marsh

    PDF Workflow Question

    Exactly, the rest is a crapshoot. Even adding a warning page such as the VIGC PDF to the first viewable page, they can still ignore the visible warning. We have heard about the common offerings from Kodak and Esko, I like the look of this Enfocus Switch option...

    Getting double clicks with 13 x 26 sheet on V3100

    Do you really wish to be charged on a true/accurate variable toner usage model – or not be on a click model and fend for yourself? Stephen Marsh

    Printing on Silverfoil

    Look for sign shops or packaging mockup/proofing service providers that have solvent/UV/latex inkjet capabilities and media… But first, you will need to consider your budget! EDIT: My comments were based around the presumption of a very small run, which may or may not be the case. Stephen Marsh

    Alternative to Esko Plato

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    I have manually deleted the start menu items and the old expired programs, however IMHO this should be handled seamlessly and gracefully by the developer, not the end user… There is a good reason why uninstallers were created in the first place! I did not realise that I had such an impact...

    Looking for Hi-Res non-inkjet proofing system

    Some packaging prepress houses still run Kodak Approvals (Approval consumables are still manufactured and sold and refurbished Approvals can be purchased). Although traditional film is still available, many use thermal ablative high resolution digital films on image/platesetters, such as Kodak...
