Re: Anyone know what happened to Trapwise? Thanks for the trip down memory lane Allan! Very clever. I didn't know about Graphic Edge creating Trapwise. We still have a Color Central dongle if anyone is interested... Mike

Re: VOID Great link David! Your right; pantos are not easy to make. I was successful in making a pantograph for the background of college transcripts that we print, but it takes a lot of prepress and press time to get it all to work out correctly. I tried to do it for some coupon jobs that we...

Re: Softproofs from Nexus I've used Pageflow and Nexus for quite a while and your right about the PDFs your creating from the raster workflow being big or the photos being screened. bluvoodoo7 is doing what needs to be done to have a usable PDF proof that has been created by Nexus. This creates...

Re: Back-up solutions As John states, Toast comes with software called DiscCatalog, which is real generic, but we use it to catalog all our DVDs and it works great. We make 2 DVDs so that we can take one disk off site as an off-site backup, but we honestly haven't had a need for the second...

Re: Help with Preps Colorbars Saving the file as an eps in the dupmarks folder should do it for you.

Re: Numbering software We use Eazy Numbering 123 for numbering tickets and other jobs that need numbering. The software is great. We've got quite a few jobs because of it. You can find it at: http://projects.gerryscuppatea.org/EasyNumbering/ It's cheap too, $35.00, so be sure to pay the guy...

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times Great thread! I just found it, looked through it and couldn't find what I think deserves a mention here: The Clash, London Calling \m/

Re: Publisher files Do you want to colorize it in Publisher or Photoshop?

Re: Publisher files Publisher can do spot colors! If you go to the "Tools" menu, go down to the submenu "commercial Printing Tools" and select "Color Printing" you can choose "Process colors plus spot colors" as your working color space for the document. You should go back and check all the...

Re: Need Help Setting up Rip-50c and Lino 330 It has been a while, but I'm pretty sure the RIP communicates via appletalk, not IP, and I would say you would have a lot more luck if you attempt to connect with a mac using OS 9 or earlier. Good luck!

Re: Widget for calculating spine and creep Sounds great! Is there a link on your site for English? Thanks.

Re: 4-up die line for a #10 converted envelope All the converters that I've dealt with supply us with hand drawn layouts too, and there's no easy way around laying out the job, it's just as you say, scan it and create the layout manually. The layout is a little forgiving in that you don't have...

Re: Platesetter vs press registration We just had a problem with our plate setter not imaging in register, up to 3/32 off, and what we're using as a quick visual to see if any of the plates are off is the Preps punch mark. Once the plate is punched the circle should be gone, if the image is off...

Re: InDesign Page Information - slug line We have the same problem too. It's a pain because we like to see the job name and page number on all our lasers of each page. The problem seems to be inconsistent. Some pages will come out centered up and down and some not. The larger the page the less...

Re: Building your own Rampage Boxes? I used to install Rampage systems and there wasn't anything special about the PC hardware (disclaimer: that was quite a few years ago). But there are some boards that are in the PCs that are specific to the function of the box, for example you might have a...

Re: Imposition question I think the 1 inch added to the trim size of a page is a standard that has developed over time because you need to make your overall size larger to accommodate bleed, trim marks, color bars and such. That has always been the default size, that I've seen, added to a trim...

Re: Low res output from Quark 7 to Nexus workflow Thanks! I'll have to come up with a few more reasons to justify the high cost of the upgrade. Mike

Re: Low res output from Quark 7 to Nexus workflow No spot colors. Also, I've tried composite and separations out of Q7 with no luck.

Re: Low res output from Quark 7 to Nexus workflow We're using Nexus 8.4. I'm trying to get the owner to get the service contract, but it's so expensive... Thanks for the response.

Hello everyone, Is anyone out there having problems placing links created in Nexus into a Quark 7 document then printing back into a Nexus workflow and then getting low resolution output? We place the links in Quark to output to our Final Proof and Epson. We are currently do this in Quark 6...
