Gordon, this cartoon reminds me Donald E. Westlake's novel "The Ax" !!! (did you read the book, or see the movie ?)

First, that's not the best way to image PDF... amazing that it works with an old PS level 2 RIP! :D Second, the AccusSet with the embedded RIP is (normally) not the 1000 but the 1200... No: it' s a little bit more complex! the STAR hardware RIP embedded in AccuSet is in fact a kind of...

Gray G3 have (only) one ADB port, blue/white G3 have two USB + one ADB ports: so both accept an ADB dongle without needing an iMate adapter.

I have used an AccuSet 800 Plus , and it had no RIP... ... AFAIK, the embedded hardware RIP was an option, and it was an old STAR RIP, PS level 2... good luck to image a PDF with such an old crap!!! Taipan 3 and Apogee 1 & 2 are at least PS level 3, and are able to image PDF... if they are not...

Why do you want to save from Photoshop??? or convert your TIFF in PDF or PS??? The way to handle this TIFF file is very simple : you open the TIFF in Photoshop, and you PRINT from Photoshop to your RIP ! it's that easy!!!

Is it possible to sign only 90% of the proof? Or to write only 90% of the sign?

For vector element, you can also edit them in Illustrator from Acrobat with the "Touch Up tool"! I also had that crap: texts or pictures that are too close of the edge or touching the edge... but no matter, we cut the end of the words for the trimming!!! The advantage, is that it makes the...

No need to use Illustrator (which is NOT a PDF editor!!! and can give strange results...): simply resize in Acrobat and stretch with PitStop. Other solutions: - print "as is" and trim 4 mm smaller (2mm each side), - print "as is" and trim 10 mm bigger, leaving a 5 mm white margin all around, -...

I gave up using Apple funny mices when came the one having a little ball above: I tested it 1 day, then put it back in it's bag, and I bought "normal" mices from other manufacturers. My last one is a Logitech MX1000: not as beautiful as the Apple MightyMouse, but much more efficient!!!

Yes, it's exactly what I 'm talking about.

With the Avantra, perhaps you have the Agfa PAC interface card? If yes, this card can be use with an Agfa PrintDrive, which is a TIFF catcher that can be linked to an HQ RIP... then, the PrintDrive will do the "interface" between the HQ RIP and the AGFA card... ... and will add some very...

The "out of the box" black in Photoshop depend of the profile used... by default, Photoshop is set with different profiles depending of the country where it's sold and depending of the versions: in USA it's a SWOP-something, but in europe for some versions of the CS it's a Fogra 27, giving a...

Try calling PrintCarrier!... that's the kind of "printers" who probably outsource in Printistan :D

Don't forget to update to 7.5! :rolleyes:

When I was in this job, I used an Avantra 25 with an Apogee serie2 RIP: the RIP was running on a PC with Windows 2000 Server and the Macs I used for DTP and to send the jobs to print were running under OS 10.3, or 10.4 or 10.5 or 9.22. Of course, my situation was not the same as yours, as I...

No way using AppleTalk with SnowLeopard, as this OS no more handled AppleTalk protocol...

Quark 6 PDF export is a piece of crap... it works a little bit less bad with the update 6.5, but the best way is either to output a .PS file and distill, or to upgrade to Quark 7.5.

I read somewhere that this error occurs about 30 minutes after launching with a cracked HQ RIP version 8.x... ???

Sorry, no other idea... But, as a general behaviour in XPress, some actions cannot be un-done: for example, the update of an embedded picture cannot be un-done, or a change in the page margins cannot be un-done... so, are you sure that your students are not simply trying to un-do actions that...
