    Anyone using DeskPack on a new Mac running Mavericks?

    We have been trying to setup Deskpack on Macpros running Mav. and have not had success. We are connecting to Automation engine 12.2. Support has not been able to find a solution and has escalated to global support. This has a tendency to take a long time and I am trying to figure it out in the...

    Artpro Warping

    Artpro has a warp/shrinkfilm plugin to do just what you want (not cheap, but what is from Esko). Short of that plugin you would need to warp manually.

    Illustrator bleed allowance

    Dont know of any way to do this. What I normally do for large format (billboards, banners etc.) is just make your document the bleed size and add trim mark/dieline manually. If a plugin exists to do this within AI I would love to hear about it also.

    Highlight dot dropoff poly

    Actually for 120LS the print looks pretty good. Are you trying to let the gradient go to 0% with a smoother transition? Depending on what you are trying to achieve your best options are probably to carry the gradient at your minimum dot through the entire area or look into a samba style dot (AM...

    I can't do this swoosh - can you? Or can you tell me how?

I am attaching the steps I took to build the file on here in case anyone else wanted to know how it was built. If you still have questions just send me a PM and...

    Tools for Process controls for press

    slehning You may want to take a look at this device https://www.teamflexo.com/products/TECHKON-SpectroEdge.asp. Inline color control at 1000FPM. We have almost 20 presses and its cost prohibitive to put inline controls on all presses so we mostly pull uncut sheets from press for checking...

    Nested Items

    Thanks Bean66, So it sounds like you are treating them as one large file also. It is not so much the stepping that is the issue as the size of the items referenced on job tickets and such.

    Trapping issue with letters

    I cannot recreate the issue. I am in CS6 and no matter what shape I trap (compound, non compound, text) it always traps correctly. Maybe try adding an overprinting stroke instead of trapping. Sorry could not be more help.

    Nested Items

    Interested in how your shop handles the layout of nested items. Specifically in how you write up sizes and space between. How do you handle them in your MIS system. We currently handle them as 1 shape with the dimensions of all items together but would like to more accurately list the size of...

    Vector Trap module issue

    Simon, I do appreciate the concern! All of our issues are documented and we are still waiting for 3 hotfixes right now. And that does not include the CS6 plugin issue that no one at Esko wants to talk about. I just want to give people a fair impression of the software and not lead them to...

    Vector Trap module issue

    MrDHG Dont worry I know how you feel. We have all the latest from Esko (Artpro 12, AE12 etc.) and have a very expensive maintenance contract and often feel the same way about Esko. Ask any esko customer how the plugins for CS6 are going, (We are still waiting for them almost a year later!!!!)...
