We're doing analysis on our potential options. We are a carton company so every sheet that comes out of our presses gets die cut. It turns out that there are others out there who have already been through this. The mix of die cutting equipment vendor and model is different though which may have...

Wayyyyyyyy back when I priced copies by linear inch color or linear inch b&w. There were price breaks for big orders. We had one of the first ones with a scan function and I forget what we charged for that but it was a per sheet charge.

Care to say what prepress system your using?

Excellent info! Many thanks. A major concern is that all of our flat bed cutting dies are built to a 0.5" sheet edge (gripper) to first knife. We're looking at the possibility of having to do some kind of major retrofitting in our cutting department. I figured if I could rotate the die layout...

Of course it is but it's pretty neat seeing all these names pop up in praise.

I'm told I need a ~0.75 gripper margin (10mm + the room for a color bar) do you still need a tail color bar? We're already using these bars for our ImageControl on the tail but I don't understand the need for bars on both ends of the sheet.

Your SBS does not have an inkjet coating and will almost certainly fail not only to calibrate GRACOL/SWOP-G7 but also to make a proof worth a damn. If you want to proof directly on SBS with control, calibration and quality you'll need to use a Fujifilm FinalProof, Kodak Approval, or Roland...

I'm told we're very likely to get a new XL106 with Prinect Inpress Control 2 and Prinect Inspection Control. All I'm getting about these technologies is marketing/sales talk. Anybody out there with real info and experiences? How hard is it to make it work with non-Prinect prepress workflows?

It's a pretty neat tool sold by Autodesk (the same people behind AutoCad and a lot of other apps) and could be considered a somewhat viable alternative to Illustrator.

I'm having this exact experience with pagepath/myorderdesk right now. I worked for a company that used myorderdesk years ago and now I get all of these emails from them on my personal account. I don't even know how they got my personal email address. I must've unsubscribed 5 times in two weeks.

I so wish I had done this the last time I built one.

Good to hear japa!

Make sure the room is big enough for service to have work space and remove panels once the machine is in place. This is commonly overlooked and can cause serious headaches and longer downtime. Dedicated AC and humidity controls for that room is a great idea at minimum make sure existing...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. I log a lot of tickets about stuff like this that just get closed as "wish-list". Basic UI functionality is not a wish it's a @$#!ing expectation for paid software on contract licenses. The practice of treating me like some nitpicker...

Simon is absolutely correct. I have this plugin and it is a life saver. Not to contradict anything - using Illustrator for PDFs is a no-no unless you know the PDF is Illustrator friendly (generated by Illustrator with compatibility or generated by other software with compatibility for...

I'm going to take that to mean (undesirable) feature. If I click on it it should understand it's read and go away. Not a deal breaker but annoying.

I noticed the notifications don't automatically go away when you click on them like they used to. Feature or bug?

I always twitch when...

I agree with this idea but I'd rather see Adobe release a product that was an Illustrator/InDesign style PDF editor...
