    Illustrator - a good trick

    Reminds me of an old (and yes I'm dating myself) advertising slogan . . . "Double your pleasure. Double your fun." . . . apparently it goes for saving Illy with a pdf option . . . . which is something I have always done.

    creative cloud subscription a ripoff

    I will kinda disagree with the skewed comparison, I was referring to BigSi's using 5.5 currently, if he was using a more or less current version of Xpress, of course his upgrade path would be cheaper than I quoted but I was saying that if he truly wanted to be "subscription free" this is where...

    Digital Prepress Workers: Mixed Color & Crop Marks - Handling [Registration] black

    I didn't make a hot folder, I made a droplet that I can drop multiple files on and have them show up in a folder of my choice . . . not quite as elegant as a hot folder but better off than I was last week . . . and a month ago I had about 100 variable jobs that were color on the front and K on...

    Digital Prepress Workers: Mixed Color & Crop Marks - Handling [Registration] black

    If you look at the "fixs" it does convert it to only K not an rgb black . .. grab a pdf with reg marks then run the registration to CMYK black and then print preview w/black off works great see below It will only work on the "registration color" - would come in handy for mixed color and bnw...

    Digital Prepress Workers: Mixed Color & Crop Marks - Handling [Registration] black

    This got me thinkin (and this may be the samething) . . . I looked around and there is a "fixup" in Acrobat DC, "Convert registration color to CMYK black only" run it and the problem is solved . . . working on trying to make it a droplet . . . don't know much about automator either

    creative cloud subscription a ripoff

    I was just pointing out that its a cost of doing business today . . . if you want to get the work done and you are supplied CSxx files (which dominate todays market) you need the tools to open, correct (if necessary), and print the files, you need the electricity to operate the press (either...

    As an additional point in the subscription's favor . .. I love it when a customer asks me to give them their business card file so I give them the latest version that I have . .. and if they are thinking about going to a different vendor, half the time it comes back since the cheaper guys...

    Do you complain about "leasing" the power from the power company, or the water that flushes your commode. It is just a cost of doing business and if you want to keep getting the business that you have and possibly get more profitable business in the future just bite the bullet and sign up .. ...

    The Print Order

    That is scarily accurate . . . funny how the end date never changes but the file recieved date keeps moving back . . . .

    Digital Prepress Workers: Mixed Color & Crop Marks - Handling [Registration] black

    I feel your pain . . . but I have a workaround . . . you can create "marks" by specifying a, for example, a .125 inch bleed and then on the master page place 4 black squares maybe 3/32 of an inch square in each corner of the bleed . . . subtract .125 from the outside edges and presto . . black...

    Can Small Format UV Quality Rival Larger Industrial?

    Is that a "coffee cup heater" cant tell for sure nothing to compare it to. We have taken to wrapping our 5 gallon buckets in an electric blanket and turning it on about an hour before we start to run. I'm sure that there is a heater out there for 5 gallon jugs . . . and then there would be...

    Sickinger punch parts . . . .

    Well . . . I just thought I would throw this out here . . . we recently, at an online auction, "won" a sickenger ups-13 punch machine, it came with two dies. One is a 3:1 with 4x4 mm punch pins and the other a 2:1 with 4x5.5 mm punch pins. Thats all well and good . . . but it appears that the...

    Paper storage?

    No, I don't think he's implying anything other than most plants do not have 5 shrink wrappers running non-stop . . . I know that while we have 2 shrink wrappers they are only turned on when we have a production run . . . methinks he is a much smaller shop than yours and to shrink wrap one or two...
