Working with updated softwares is important in this job, because updates correct many bugs that affect the good behaviour of the soft... ... and as teacher in a design school, it's your job to teach your students to be always aware about the updates of the softwares they use: the last update of...

Did you use a "crossed" RJ45 cable??? Ethernet 10baseT is basically a "star" network that need all the peripherals to be linked to an hub or a switch... (probably your internet router includes a switch if it has more than one port). ... but it is sometimes possible to link an Ethernet 10baseT...

Try to trash Vista!

Arial is a piece of crap, you can replace it by Helvetica... ... and I have often heard and see that Optima PostScript fonts are tricky!

It depends of the screen ruling, the shape of the line and the number of inks to be registrated... There is no problem to print a solid 0.1 pt line with only one 100% ink... ... but a 0.4 pt curved line at 150 lpi will look like a doted-line at some locations, depending of the angle between...

Yes, and that's because Illustrator is not a layout software... ... simply use InDesign (or Quark) for your layouts, and you'll get the "Collect for Output" fonctionnality!

No: CS3 and further need PostScript level 3, but Viper 1.9.2 is only level 2 (I had a Viper 1.9.2, and it didn't work well with the CS3). The first PS level 3 Viper RIP is the Viper 3, it works fine with CS4, and will run on your PM9600... but I don't know anything about the compatibility with...

Are you really sure of that??? AFAIK, the Illustrator native "language" is PGF (Progressive Graphic Format), which is globally like PDF, but is in fact different (and not compatible)... The .AI file has a PDF structure, and PGF datas are embedded in this "PDF". A "normal" .AI file, saved from...

No, no, I don't... but now I understand why you get this warning : "photoshop can only decode FAX encoded images up to 32767 pixels wide or tall." that you quoted in your first message: when you try to open your Nexus CCITT compressed picture, Photoshop detects the CCITT compression and believes...

But 48496 is over 32767! how can Photoshop handle a number of pixels that exceed its maximum??? :confused::confused: (33495 x 48496 @ 2540dpi is a 13,2 x 19,1 inches image... is it for a GTO?)

A 28 inches (71 cm) width plate ripped at 2400 dpi needs a bitmap image with 67200 pixels in its width... but Photoshop can handle only 32767 pixels maximum, and 67200 is more than twice its 32767 up-limit!!!

There is no "driver" for a PostScript printer or for an imagesetter like an AccuSet: you only need a PPD... ... and the right PPD depends of the RIP you have... so the question is which RIP do you have? (AFAIK level 3 Agfa RIPs like Viper 3 or Apogee 1 and 2 make their own PPD: just launch...

But dummys are never out of stupid ideas: I often get Publisher files that have no bleed AND no margin, texts stopping exactly at the edge of the page!!! How do you fix this problem??? First, I enlarged the page adding 5 mm of white stroke around the page, but the customer didn't like it and...

The limit is 30000 pixels by 30000 pixels

Try samedi or Samstag ;) Edit: it work's! :D

Or to send the .PS file to a RIP. ... but this file is written temporarily on the hard-drive, and automatically erased when the printing is finished. ... or unless it is a line-art picture: line-art (or line-work) picture have only black and white dots that can be printed directly by the...

NO! re-read carefully Vlad's posts: he already said to you that the Viper 3 RIP runs only on MAC!!! ... and have a careful look at your CD, because there is NO Viper running on Windows!!! If you want to install an Agfa RIP on your PC, you have to use a Taipan RIP (or an Apogee, but be sure to...

If you come in Europe, France is not far away from Sweden and Belgium! ;)

I also feel the same pain, and the same (leaking/sinking) boat: exported PDF work fine only with up-to-date workflows, but are not as reliable than distilled PDF with old (PostScript) workflows... So, either you upgrade, or you train your customers to make their PDF as Lukas has explained...

Sorry, but your unit is not the right one : PPI means Pixels Per Inch, and pixels are for pictures! (pixel = picture element) But an imagesetter or a printer (laser or ink-jet) prints dots (not pixels!), and then the correct unit for the resolution of a printing device is DPI (Dots Per Inch)...
