    Xero?

    I have no direct association with Xero. Our company loves it, we moved away from using MYOB. Our Accura MIS customers appear to like it too. Although we support the big 3 players in the ANZ region (among many more supported finance systems) - MYOB, QuickBooks and Xero – Xero appears to have...

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    Pushpixels, the license does not time out, but the software does. I now have 2 versions or so on Windows due to forced updates (however I thought that there were more), but as no uninstaller is provided there is junk left behind in my start menu. I asked support about uninstall steps but they...

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    Although not in the same class, Acrobat Reader can run a script to show the various page boxes for the active page, which again is useful for a CSR with only Acrobat Reader (not intended for clients). Stephen Marsh

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    Packzview is a great tool, however it is a stretch to expect clients of print providers to download, install and apply for and install a LICENSE this free tool… Not to mention download new versions when the old version times out (the software, not the perpetual free license). Packzview is great...

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    The PDF can be edited/corrected or you folk could make their own version easy enough. It is a proactive move that is better than nothing. Although English is a global language, I cut the Belgians some slack for a typo not in their native language. This PDF viewer also fails the Global Graphics...

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    Ulrich, the client receives an email and follows the link to a website, or logs into their bookmarked website and views the proof online, often using a HTML5 based “application” or other technology that automatically downloads the data and correctly previews the file for overprints...

    PDF READER for DUMB clients

    I recommending using an Acrobat Pro Action Wizard or Enfocus PitStop Pro/Server Action List to insert the attached VIGC PDF as the first page of the PDF proof. PDFviewerCheckerVIGC_v1.3_EN.pdf https://printplanet.com/forum/prepre...rprint-preview...

    Searching for early adopters for advanced Web Vector editor.

    I have not looked at your demos as of yet, so please forgive me if you do some of the below. Off hand some things that I would consider critical on the artwork generation side include: * Will base templates use open or proprietary file formats for the static content * PDF output that may...

    soft proof color management for Pantone only workflow

    Softproofing 101 - How will you control or qualify the client’s viewing conditions, hardware, calibration, profiling etc? There are all sorts of things that you can do, however they will be governed by the above capabilities and limitations. I am not saying that this is not possible to do...

    Printshop Mail PDF's printing differently then the original PDFs

    Thanks for the images, however it is hard to say without seeing the actual before/after PDF content and even then there may not be any obvious sign of why/how. Stephen Marsh

    Cmyk + og

    Spots and large panels of colour are different to photographic images. Just because an output is capable of more, does not mean that the input will achieve more. Yes, with common offset CMYK input this is a self fulfilling prophecy… However even with wider gamut RGB, photographic images may or...

    Printshop Mail PDF's printing differently then the original PDFs

    Hard to comment without comparing the original and the processed PDF. Sounds like a colour management and/or colour conversion issue. Stephen Marsh

    Opening a PDF with Illustrator - Epic Fail

    Place a spot colour multi channel Photoshp file (or EPS-DCS) into InDesign, such as swapping out the magenta/yellow plates for a spot red and cyan/yellow plates for a spot green etc (presuming that an image is mostly made of red or green content). Then export out a PDF and open it into...

    Different Flexo Imagesetters

    That depends, am I going to get a commission from Kodak? :] We only look after the AU & NZ territory, so what’s in it for me? Just kidding! DITR film can be processed on specific/qualified Kodak Thermoflex and Kodak Trendsetter thermal imagers (I believe that they may need to be equipped with...

    Different Flexo Imagesetters

    Sounds like you looked at Flexcel NX, where the TIL is laminated to the plate, prior to exposure… However there is also Kodak DITR, which is a high resolution thermal laser ablative film (no processing), which I believe does not require lamination to the plate (if that is the issue as you mainly...

    Matchprint open connectivity client

    Using the Proofer Client software on the controller or a workstation, log into administration mode then perform a Level 1 reset to flush all queues, just like in Prinergy Evo/Connect (Open Connectivity is essentially a stripped down version of Evo). EDIT: You can also try stopping and...
