This would be funny, if there weren't companies out there actually thinking of doing this. At least I believe there are, no proof or knowledge of the fact, just past experience with big business wanting to make a buck.

Boy it sure it great that companies can get all kinds of certifications declaring that their product(s) are recyclable or compostable, but in reality they aren't. How is this truth in advertising? It's kinda like a newspaper back in the day, that would publish a completely wrong story which they...

I'm not saying that print from Indigo is recyclable or not, but did you read the paragraph on page 12 under the "Design with the Environment in Mind"? I think this could be an interesting conversation. Sustainability credentials include the Green Leaf mark and certification from TUV Austria’s...

gordo, thanks for sharing.

The bigger problem, that I don't think people are seeing is not the virus, but the side effects of the virus on the population. As we have already seen, hospitals are being over run and running out of PPEs. Yes the virus in general, is not that bad in the grand scheme of things, but it's...

In theory, anyway.

The reason why some printers care about the CMYK breakout instead of Lab, is because on one press you might run a customers job as Spot and another you might need to run it CMYK. There could be press issues, ink issues, stock issues, or a hole list of other reasons that could be the issue. Or...

Not sure why your Pitstop has changed, but can tell you that Pantone has changed the values for 158C. With V3 of the color libraries it was 0-62-95-0, and then when they updated to V4 it became 0-62-97-0. Like Gordo, don't know if anyone can explain Pantone, even Pantone themselves and why/how...

Creative-1 are you still open to talk about PRISMAsync? We have a an Canon/Oce 135 also, that we've had for a couple of years, and for the most part works well. Just running into a job that is a problem that doesn't make sense. It is a variable job that is done as a flat PDF with a total of...

Don't forget the tear test to find the grain too. We use a Morgana Digifolder on digital jobs, and some offset jobs. It makes a wider, more gentler crease for the fold.

These are the things that would have been said at a typesetting company I used to work at. Especially by the proofreaders.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough about where to search, as I meant on the internet, and not on your computer. For Windows, here is a link to Adobe's Knowledge Base https://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/325924.html You can probably use the same PPD for the Mac, but I can not remember where it would...

When it is saying you need a PS printer installed, that could mean you need one installed on your system (Mac or Windows). You can do a search for postscript.ppd to find one for your system. Then install it, and that should solve this issue. Hopefully.

I've run it on Canon and Kodak equipment without too much issue. And various types of perfs. Usually won't tear, it more on just getting it to feed into the press that can be the trickiest part. Sometimes, just need smaller loads.

At my previous print shop, we used a Rollem device that would take a full sheet of laid out deck of cards, and trim them down in order, then round corner them and place them in a box. It was a sight to see. But that is the main stay of the business as a card and board game printer. I left a...

Last resort option is to, import into Indesign and then print to a Postscript file and then Distill that to PDF. That will for sure get rid of issues in the PDF. Flatten/kill fonts/transparencies and such. On occasion we do that for those files that just don't want to RIP.

We've had our Cannons for about 2 years, and just had to install our first print head. Wish we had known it took 30 minutes. But still it was not bad, and it was right back up and running again. I remember when we got the printers and when we ordered some supplies and they said we needed to...

We have one too. The excess only happens when you "need" to have your proof "now". If you let them queue up and then output when there is enough in the queue. Then there is very little loss, besides at the beginning and the end of the roll. The beginning of the roll will print out 3 test IMPOs...

As ColorMonkey says, if a piece of paper goes through the fuser it's a click. I've run Kodaks, HPs, Canons, Ricohs, Toshibas, and Xeroxs and they all seem to be the same as I can remember. If the unit has some post fuser assembly features, you can bypass the click charge, but not if it actually...

We are commercial and web2print shop and use Prinergy. I haven't used any other system besides Kodak, so I can't speak on the other systems. But I can tell you, with the RBA in Prinergy, and some creative use of other command line software that the RBAs can control, you sure can do a lot. We run...
