MattG, do you have RBA (Rules Based Automation). With being a "small" shop, I wouldn't think so, but I've been wrong before. Either way, like you said, you are the only one in Prepress, so speed of the backup is probably not really that big of an issue. 5400 RPMs over 7200, could make a...

We have Prinergy Connect on a VM, which gets backed up to a Enterprise NAS, and all our jobs are backed up to a different Enterprise NAS as well. As others have said: REDUNDANCY. I've seen too many drives fail before their time, and the only way to be safe is redundancy.

I would really look into Photoshop Actions, they are really easy to setup. Then you can run them from within Photoshop or make them into a "droplet". If you are using Indesign, there is a plugin called "LinkOptimizer" that could also do it for you without even leaving Indesign. What it does is...

We've been dumping ours for a while now. Sometimes our tech does them for us, sometimes we do them. All depends on the timing. It's not that fun, but it is easy to do. And if you are careful, it doesn't create a mess at all.

We have two Rapida 106s, different flavors. But what I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me about the color bar specs. Why does the there need to be 15 mm of unprinted side edges of the color bar for the inline scanning. All the techs I've asked, they have basically just said that it is the spec.

Month of use update. Overall we really like this. Pros: This is WAY better than manually flipping paper. More consistent backups than manually flipping paper. Better use of employee's time. Instead of hearing someone say "your proof is up", or forgetting to flip the paper for a while. This...

Might not be able to answer, but from what software are you printing from? A RIP or direct, or another way. And then Mac or PC.

I know I'm way late to the party, but just wanted to add. Another option to get CIP3 data from Prepress to the Press is to use a company called PrintFlow. They are in the EU, and they are who we use in our shop to connect Prinergy to our Heidelberg (used to be 3 now only 1). We already had the...

Full install update and before full on use. We have the older base that is HUGE! But with 2 new Canon iPF8400SEs. Overall it is quite impressive. How it is setup and operates is quite interesting and clever. The software is pretty easy to get around and figure out (for the most part, but not...

So, I have an update. The powers that be decided to go with IMPOProofer and it is being installed as I type. It is the one with duo Canons. I will update you all later with install notes, and how it is working for us.

When surfing the web, meant using Gopher, Telnet, and newsgroups. You had to know how to type, and to see a photo, meant downloading a compressed file. Seeing a photo on the screen while surfing...that will never happen. Why would you want that, it makes things way too slow. Let's not forget...

Have you tried running the job 90 degrees to what you were running to see if the ghosting goes away. That might help you determine if it is a press or file issue. Just a thought.

This is a good way to prove to your customer how valuable your service is, and why they should want to pay the "List Services" fee. For me in prepress, who doesn't really have a say. If it is a small list (under 250) that hasn't gone through our mailing department to get the full treatment, I...

We are looking at replacing out Epson Stylus Pro 9900 that we use for our IMPO book proofer, which we load cut sheets into to mimic the press sheets. It's getting old, and lines ( which we all know means a new head at this point, too many cleanings and still not fixed ). It's been out of...

If you are scaling the images in Illy, try scaling them in Photoshop first then place them at 100% in Illy. You can always place them in Illy to get position and scale of what you want, but then go back and fix all the placed files so there are 100%, which will make the Illy file or even the PDF...

I too was on my way to GExpo. I was taking the train from Grand Rapids, MI to Chicago (my first train ride by the way). I had my headphones on listening to the local radio stations on the way, when I started to hear what was going on in NYC. Soon the news spread throughout the car, as we did...

Re: Brisque running out of storage - help. How easily is that to do? My co-worker seems to believe it is a very big ordeal to do, even to the point where we would have to call someone in. Is there anywhere where I can get some info on how to do? Thanks.

We have a Brisque 4.176.0, and we are running out of space on the hard drives. How easy is it to setup a NAT and have the Brisque mount it as another volume? And how do we do it? Company is not in a position to upgrade, so we in the PrePress department are forced to try and make it work, and...
