Not exactly: they sell copiers to our customers so they can butcher their own stuff. :rolleyes:

Well done gordo! Really, I like your humour ;)

It's perhaps an invitation for you to make a cartoon about 3D printing? (or to make a cartoon about people unable to post in the right section of a forum ;))

Is that the new "Re: Print" formula: somebody ask a question, and Gordo answers with a cartoon? :D

My caring was taken out of me by uncompetent crappy "designers"... If they even don't themselves care about their jobs, why should I ??? Why should I save their poor asses without any thanking ? Why should I help them to pretend to be designers althought they are not ? Just answer him/her...

As you can see in the comic-strip above, the expert has already left :D Perhaps you can try to ask your question in the correct sub-forum?

And the worst: "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

For an employe, normally the job done is proportional to the wage... But for an intern, it's different: the intern is not in the company to make production... he is supposed to be in this company to learn the job: so he is working mostly for himself, for his own knowledge/experience, not for...

And, just to add my 2 cents (3, in fact): Most of the """designers""" I worked with (or for, as a slave, to fix their crap for free!) did pirate their softwares... so, as they were afraid to be caught by Adobe's servers if they use the automatic update function and also have poor computing...

I went through the 16 pages of this thread, and it is exactly the story my 18 years of pre-press: I have seen (and suffered) all the crap described in this 16 pages (and even some more), including stupid customer's/designer's giving crappy files and saying "I had no problem with other printers"...

Waoh... it's even able to translate an old 19th century text into modern kid's texting language!!!

And we are right back to quality in print, with the use of the profiles...!!! Which Fogra did he use? 27 or 39? Adobe's Fogra27 profile is the standard factory defaut profile in french Adobe suites since CS3. It's not exactly a real Fogra27, it is an Adobe "creation" based on the Fogra27...

Just a little bit! :D:D no problem for me... :cool: It's not a "rush"... it's a slow change... Did you fix the problem?

??? I'm not upset about anything. You have your ideas, I have mine and we debate freely about them. No, not as a regular day-job... but I designed some boxes in my life... I first tried XPress (with many troubles), then (listening to "good" advices of professionnal packaging designers) I tried...

As far as I understand (sorry, english is not my native language) you're talking about printing RGB pictures in RGB files... in that case, whatever the embedded profil is, the pictures/files will be converted in CMYK for printing with the CMYK profile of the printer, a profile adapted to the...

I ALWAYS helped my customers to improve their files, always. I never acted like these printers who leave their customers in their mistakes, saying "No problem" even when they have re-do all the job, or print crappy files as-is. It in my nature: I cannot leave somebody in a mistake, I cannot...

Yes, of course! Technically, yes, you're right: a real skillfull designer, helped by a real PDF maker (not a crap like PDFcreator) is able to output from Publisher (or even Word) a PDF file close to professionnal specifications, and the rest of the job can be done by a skillfull pre-press...

No problem for a debate! I didn't mean meeting printers, I was only talking about on-line printers... Most on-line printers in France ask for page's files in JPEG/TIFF/EPS/PDF... not all in that order, some ask for the PDF in first, but some ask for JPEG first! Concerning the EPS files, none...

No, it's a today's reality!!! Just look at the files specifications asked by many on-line printers: most of them want pages in JPEG or TIFF in CMYK without profile... this shows that either they are incompetent and ignore most of the basis of printing and quality, or are butchers who make...

It's a story about a guy who worked in a paper factory in USA, highly specialized in a rare special kind of paper, and who becomed unemployed because the US factory has been closed and outsourced... And as he is highly specialized in a rare domain, there is only one (already occupied) place in...
