We've had the Esko Backstage over a year now and would like to hear how folks have integrated their systems into digital output workflows. We have Xerox DocuSP front end for iGen4 and several Docutechs. Given no FlexRip for Xerox what are your best practices and workflows to these devices? Also...

thanks all i have some testing to do! stephen

We too are reviewing this issue. Look forward to ideas. stephen

Having lived through an out of ink situation and for better pricing we probably keep more cartridges on the shelf than we need, but, better safe than out of ink. We won't go crazy on the ink dance, but, we'll be sure to shake before use. Clearly a media change or other significant factor would...

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

Still wondering!?! Still wondering!?! Shake, shake, shake! I'm told we never have a cartridge last six weeks, but, there is some question about whether the cartridges are being shaken. We will try shaking and maybe even remove and shake before we clean print heads and/or calibrate. I am...

Matt: Saw your intro. I am at Braintree Printing in Braintree. Your position at Smith Print sounds interesting. What kind of systems are you using/integrating? Would love to talk shop sometime. stephen grayman [email protected]

Cifs Cifs Sorry I don't know how to do that. Is it done at the server or from the Macs? Sounds like CIFS would substitute one set of name/character issues for another along with a new kind of font problem. stephen

Time to revisit for upcoming budgeting/purchases. Has anyone come up with any other solutions for font resources being lost with SMB and long file name truncation with AFP when Macs talk to Windows server? One thing we've toyed with especially when we have lots of files to link is to make a Mac...

agree on the disk warrior! If drive has other proprietary software components, like my fried maxtor that makes a mini RAID from two disks, forget it! stephen

Last week our support folks indicated: "In most environments there is a higher degree of likelihood the proofer will provide more consistency than the press" and "It was revealed upon discussions with ***** (vendor), that Recalibration is not recommended if there is no recognized change in...

No worries...no problem!

it was a joke!! it was a joke!! We do NOT charge $428/hr for revisions. I changed our prices to an EXAGGERATED number to clearly avoid starting a pricing discussion. I should have used $XXX.00 or other very neutral indicator. I apologize for the attempted humor and resulting confusion. stephen

surely you jest! surely you jest! and we just lowered our prices. Reality is that thinking that everyone would "get it" I changed the numbers to avoid getting into a pricing discussion. Back in the old computer to plate list talk of real pricing numbers was not proper netiquette. Other...

thanks all thanks all Nice to know the "official" word. Apparently we either "can't remember" or "never found out" the origin or final outcome of this file. Probably got a pdf from client. We will not expect C4 questions until some time later. thanks again. stephen

Lots of folks looking for $400/hr :>} !!!

Hey all: We have received .indd files which do not want to open in CS2 or CS3, Mac or Windows. I know CS4 beta and prerelease are out there, but, does anyone know an official or expected shipping date for the final version? Has it actually shipped? stephen

Haven't listened yet, but this podcast is available through Apple itunes: Hennepin Technical College, Printing & Prepress Technologies PodCasts Also Rick Littrell's now defunct Rick Littrell's "Inside Print Radio" is dated, but, still listed at Apple itunes store. I thought it was good. Maybe...

Hope this is a good place for this question. We've been supplied with pdf files that appear to be prinergy generated, they have a creo annotation in the upper left corner. Most of the pages crash at the iGen DocUsp. We printed page by page and found that the crashers had trap objects...
