@ CathieH Actually, it is becoming common the crops not be included. The bleed and trim defined in a proper pdf structure suffice.

You would have to break the document into sections in Acrobat. For the b/w sections, use Preflight (Advanced > Preflight > PDF fixups) to convert to grayscale. You could create a batch process to hit all those b/w sections in one batch, then reassemble the thing.

FWIW, our Sickinger punch runs about as fast, at it's lowest speed, than an operator can load it.

We had been pushing Poly 5 mil material through a small imagesetter, no RIP, and came upon the same machine used, full gaurantee, well installed. I really trust the company that brought it in and set it up. I sent it back after 30 days. I run plenty of 150 dpi process on a 3302... YMMV

For small press work, InDesign has never failed me with Application Built In Trapping. Note that ID will not trap anything in an eps, save them as AI, or put the whole piece to PDF first, place that, output DTP. For tests, if rather than printing direct to the platemaker/imagesetter, Save to PS...

I am certain I have opened Frehand MX files with Illustrator CS3. As for the read/write denied...I have found, with Vista, that the Program Files folder (and sub folders) are restricted; users do not have any (sufficient) priviledges. Navigate to the Program folder, pull up the Properties...

Yep yep, I've followed all those steps. As the machine starts there is a quick screen which shows 0-CEN 1-SER 3-TP 4-Apl 5-TCP/IP 5 is than shown underlined informing me that TCP/IP is in use. (Why did they omit 2??) I guess I'm wondering how or why not my PC's and Mac do not see the...

I'm not sure about EBC, but, fonts are embedded in eps files by default. This necessary font info will pass thru Distiller, PDF, or the print flow. BUT, the font is not local to your machine, and Illustrator alerts this upon opening. Illustrator will not, "un-embedd" the font for your usage...

I always accept InDesign's default packaged folder name of Filename Folder. This alerts me that the file was meant for handoff. Immedialtely after creation, it would have been compressed and I either delete the compressed or uncompressed folder as follows. If the document consisted of new...

Yep, small box plugged into the Ethernet port, twisted pair cable.

The Accuset 1000 Pus has an on board (?) HDD which functions as the RIP. (Right?) Yes, when I was selecting ppd's back in another front end, we would select Star 400 or Star 800 RIP.

I have seen some similair phenomenom on screen from pdf's created via an Auto Document Scanner on our copier. What is listed as the Application created by in the pdf Document Properties? Woops, what file type is that image?

This machine manual leads me to believe, but I have been unsuccessful, at installing via TCP/IP without Appletalk. Hardware RIP, nothing external. Is this possible? The inputs for the machine (I have two identicle) are Imagesetter, Ethernet, Centronics, RS232C & Local Talk. I have enabled TCP/IP...

The long processing time was likely caused by large amounts of transparency and graphics used which needed to be processed by the RIP. If the job failed to print, you may have conflicting settings; "Fold" combined with "Main" Output Tray (although the print features window would usually alert to...

Are the fonts embedded in that source pdf? You could (I would) re-fry the pdf via placing the orginals into ID and exporting another pdf.

I can't speak for the Ricoh bur our Bizhub 5500 does beautiful work on anything I throw at it. The front to back registration is there, whether text weight or heavy cover, but, I have better service and support from others in my area who purchased through a different vendor. Tomorrow I'll be...

Given that all papers will duplex a little differently, the machine has alignment features built into the tray settings. I keep a basic two sided target for lettersize and tabloid extra stored in the RIP/Controller and call it up when necessary, make the tray alignments, and pull my job from the...

@ davidmwe "Strange the size though." Not really; Mac's resource fork is the reason. I've unzipped a hundred Mac packaged folders and the font size is always listed zero (or 1kb). Only OpenType fonts are truly cross compatible. You'll be much better served sticking to native Win files on...

I've noticed this with our machine. After a quick check, within 30 days of the last pm, this 5500 has the cmy developers over 105%, and the black at 183% I see the transfer life belt at 194%, so, it is not uncommon. We lease from KM btw and they have been excellent in keeping this machine...
