I haven't used Canva, but hopefully once we teach our customers how to properly send us files using it, it will be better than the Microsoft products. Even though, some of the customers using the Microsoft products now are doing a good job. Hopefully this will be a shorter transition period...

Maybe it's time all us printers move to a different spot color standard. Pantone used to be great when they had a "standard", but now that standard seems to change from year to year and sometimes inbetween. Add colors and then modify. It was pretty straight forward back in the day to setup the...

I haven't done film in a LONG while, but have you checked your chemicals? Made sure you're "new" batch hasn't expired.

In our shop, we have Synology too,with SMB3, but have all Prepress copy down jobs before working on them. Then when they are done, copy and replace. Sometimes we open files on the NAS, just to look at, be almost never to work on. But I can not guarantee what employees do 100% of the time.

Yes, here in Michigan, US, the deposit on bottles for caffeinated drinks and some others, for plastic, aluminum and glass is 10 cents per. Homeless, people with low paying jobs, kids, and some families in general return bottles to supplement their income too. Some do it as a way to clean up...

I can't help but think of all the kids in Sunnyvale Trailer Park throwing paper bottles instead of glass bottles at Ricky, Julian and Bubbles.

If this is always the case, you could check Fiverr and have some write a Python script that will do it for you. And would probably only cost you $20-50 US. Then you will always have it, and no extra software to buy. I've used it for something similar, but it was a one time only project, but it...

Let's all just agree that Mac or PC, it's just a tool to get the job done. And it really comes down to preference. I've been an IT person since the 80s and I prefer Mac, but can work on PC too. I used to see that PCs weren't as reliable as Macs, but drive around your town, do you notice that...

Another option, if you have the space, would be to keep a couple of those 2013 Mac Pros in operation but off in a corner and turn on screen sharing. Then upgrade the user's Macs and they could remote into the Mac Pros when needed. At least until those software manufacturers make M1 compatible...

I haven't watched the video. But just reading that "Dems are the original slave owners, Reps fought to free them." Which I already knew. And I glad this is waking more people to the history. An slavery started a LONG time before there were Dems and Reps. We can go back to the Egytians when they...

We have Prinergy 8 too, and were using 9900 also but not KPS. We just using GMG or Fiery to send IMPO PDFs to proofers. A few years ago we switched to a system called IMPOProof that uses two Canons to back up the proof "automatically". And it works pretty darn good too. Our production manager...

Have you tried imposing a few pages before and after the page(s) that are loosing the variable images. Or even try making a new file with just a few pages that are loosing the variable images and see what happens. I've never used Fiery Impose, but do have FusionPro and we use the Impose included...

Been using that for over 20 years. It is the great. I hate working on a Mac without it. So slow to do anything.

There is also the issue of being able to reprint old jobs. And there have been issues with restoring jobs from a previous version of APPE, in the beginning of new versions. No one wants to keep multiple systems in operation because of compatibility issues. RIP manufactures don't want to release...

I don't know about the legality of any of this, but common sense would dictate that, if any machine was assembled in any shape of fashion at a location for operation whether purchased or for demo, and then disassembled and reassembled again at another location, than it has been "used". I would...

We use FusionPro to accomplish what you are asking. But I know XMPie could do it to. And I'm sure there are many others out there too. Might even be able to do something like that with Avery Label Software, depending on size of label and sheet.

With older equipment you could try some contact enhancer solution, that I have used with great success over the years. It's called Stabilant-22, and here is a link to a page describing it. Stabilant-22 Application Notes If you got this stuff. Move everything back to the old hardware. Remove all...

I would like to add, what presses are you using the plates on, too. As we all know, some plates work better on some presses than others.

We have the IMPOProof System with dual Canon iPF8400SEs. It's has been really good. And yes it works best when you are proofing multiple jobs. If you are doing one or two at a time, you will waste quite a bit of media, around 2 feet with each set of jobs you "force" out. Canon IMPOproof Link...
