    Career Switch

    My father told me 15 years ago to follow his footsteps and take up a "real" trade like plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc. I really wish that I had.

    additional Pantone + colours not in Adobe apps

    Perhaps this covers it? http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=21054&ca=12

    Please give me your advice before I pursue purchasing used Adobe CS6?

    I'm pretty sure that the EULA states that transfer of a license after it's opened/activated is illegal. It's more or less the same behavior as pirating it. You wouldn't steal water if the water company charged you a minimum 100 gallons per month if you only needed 40 gallons. If it's a business...

    Switching to Windows from Mac...advice??

    Buy Mac hardware and install Windows 7, 8 or 10. Not only is it the best Windows hardware you can acquire but also that way you can revert back when/if you realize the mistake.

    Unknown Feature Discovered In Illustrator

    None taken. My whole team was kind of shocked and wondered how long it had been there. It seems to totally defeat the purpose and need for the Esko "BoostX" InkMix plugin too.

    Unknown Feature Discovered In Illustrator

    I took some liberty with your post and broke it into (my own) logical parts. I just purchased a new 9900 and I am upgrading to v3 of CTW when it arrives. I was already excited about this but I'll believe it when I see it work. I've been burned by optimism before. I've yet to see any software...

    Unknown Feature Discovered In Illustrator

    Do you have a sample file of this? I don't quite understand its usefulness in this regard. I'm genuinely curious.

    Unknown Feature Discovered In Illustrator

    Perhaps I am very late to the dance but I recently received files with two Pantone colors overprinting. The proofs generated a result that looked pretty nice but in reality the opacities of the inks on press created a wildly different result. We very strongly push customers not to use these...

    Automation Engine - worth it or not?

    The licensing has changed quite a bit since I signed my contract but the "Processor Module" was something the sales people did not think that I needed and I very much needed it. It really should be a core part of the workflow and not an optional module. PowerTrapper is hands down the best and...

    Automation Engine - worth it or not?

    I'm not sure if this colloquialism will translate in Lithuania but I'd use extreme "air quotes" around ROI. They can give you numbers but this is akin to the county fair where you guess the weight of a cow. That said, the ROI is typically heaviest in the decreased problems on press, bad flexo...

    Automation Engine - worth it or not?

    I can confirm what jeffkin15 is saying. The "automation" part is really up to you. Esko gives you (most of) the tools and you have to take advantage of utilizing them to your advantage. A few years ago I evaluated all of the workflow solutions marketed towards packaging. Sadly, Esko is the only...

    Poll: Project Management for Prepress and/or Design

    I did end up buying MetaCommunications DaVinci product and I am in the process of implementation. It's been pretty stellar so far.

    Esko AE 10.1.0 For sale

    If it's legit to sale/transfer trying to upgrade after buying used your buyer could have serious issues with Esko. You should certainly review the EULAs, original purchasing documents and with Esko to make sure that a buyer doesn't get screwed. Depending on what you've already agreed to with...

    Nesting in Plato

    If you're going to invest in software for layout and you're not using auto layout in AE take a long hard look at Phoenix. I #$%!ing hate plato so much I consider it worst in class. I'd rather go back to Heidelberg Signa Station or just do it manually.

    Need a database of people/companies that don't pay

    If you don't use a third party you could end up violating laws regarding collusion (at least in the USA). This is the whole point/reason for credit checks and those third parties.

    Best Clear Media for Epson Inkjet

    How transparent do you need it? The ones that are not totally transparent work best because of the coating that dries/adheres the ink to the substrate. I've had great success using the films from CGS-ORIS and the Fujfiilm branded film (Part F-SCHD36100). I used to use the Midwest "clear film...
