    Esko Products and Apple Catalina Support

    So, future versions of MacOS release in betas, partly, so developers can prepare updates to their software ahead of time so that it continues to remain functional when the public release date comes. Is Esko's development cycle just too slow to complete that work by the time the beta is over?

    Jdf / web to print question

    Are you interested in purchasing pre-made software to accomplish this, or are you setting out to build the functionality yourself?

    Legality of Logo...

    I don't know how this has played out in the past and that is a large factor in how these things are decided if they end up in court. But I would think the reasonable argument would be that it would be an almost impossible task to burden printers with policing whether everything they're printing...

    Paper receipts preferred by consumers

    But the real question is how much of the paper used to print receipts is actually sourced from sustainably managed forests? Seems a bit disingenuous to claim paper receipts are better for the environment than digital receipts just because those kinds of forests exist. What if my email servers...

    Experience with Design’N’Buy

    I believe they spam their website on forum posts here about Web2Print fairly regularly. That's my only experience and I think a red flag to not seek out any more experiences =)

    US health insurance unaffordable?

    In the US, we pay for firefighter and police services through taxes. For the most part, we don't pay for-profit entities to provide those vital services because, as anyone could see, the ground would be ripe for corruption. Imagine needing "Police Insurance" so you could afford the police bill...

    US health insurance unaffordable?

    We just had our first kid and the hospital billed our insurance ~$25k for my wife's care (routine, no issues) and a separate $25k for my baby's care (2 days in NICU being observed). When it all went through the insurance and had deductibles and co-insurance calculated, we ended up paying ~$5k...

    US health insurance unaffordable?

    Pay $10,000/year for my young family of 3 and that's before any actual medical costs. And since everything is priced sky-high so as to gig the insurance companies out of as much $$ as possible, stuff that does eventually get billed to us is outrageous. Just had my first kid, found insurance had...

    Softproofing Before OR After Ripping

    Technically soft proofing AFTER ripping would be the safest way to go, because you're right in that things can happen during the RIP process, but I know that for our digital presses with a Fiery RIP and Command Workstation, it doesn't give you access to the ripped PDF to send out, so we're stuck...

    Running Prinergy Preps on Windows 10 using a non-admin user account

    Does it give a particular error message after failing to open on a local non-admin account? If you launch it from Workshop sometimes it will return an error message through Workshop in a pop-up.

    Automation in prepress

    We don't use any but have quoted Switch and RBA. RBA was almost 2x as expensive compared to Switch for the same feature set we were looking at.

    Gassing off concerns

    I found a bunch of documentation from a UK regulatory body (http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/guidance/pseries.htm) about how printers should deal with the chemicals and odors involved in printing. Most of the advice involving odors seems to involve making sure there is adequate ventilation and air...

    Jeff Jacobson Appointed CEO at EFI

    You're right, the Command Workstation and related pieces of software are really good! It makes their low standard on other pieces of software that much more perplexing.

    Jeff Jacobson Appointed CEO at EFI

    Sounds like he'll fit right in at EFI then. I remember one of the only communications we ever received from an EFI CEO (Guy) as a customer for the past 6 years was once when their stock price plummeted and he wanted to reassure everybody that it'd go back up. Who cares about your stock price...

    Ridiculous Quotes

    Those of us who have set up web-to-print websites would probably recognize this behavior. They probably didn't quote digital books at those high quantities so it's just using the per-piece price of the next-closest pricing point it does have a price for (probably a way lower quantity), even if...

    Adobe Integrates Electronic Signing Into Acrobat

    Looks like Acrobat's "Fill & Sign" tool now uses "Adobe Sign" instead of being a distinct tool covered by a Creative Cloud/Document Cloud subscription? Kinda confusing.

    Best MIS Scheduling Module

    I wish I could give you a confident suggestion of who to run to, but since my company has been unable to move away from any of the aforementioned EFI products I mentioned ("I don't want to make another huge investment just to have the same problems with a new vendor!" is the reason), I don't...

    Best MIS Scheduling Module

    Hopefully something will change with the EFI buyout. EFI has been a terrible software vendor to work with overall - we've used their web-to-print, Pace, and Matrix so far. They check a lot of boxes with features but a lot have defects or bugs or other "gotcha"'s that make you feel like you...

    Training

    All this guy's training would make him really good at picking and/or implementing the software that carries out the work he was trained to do! Software is the new industry tool but we still need people who know how and when to apply the tool.
