We had our 4.5.1 update installed not to long ago. Some points of interest. Cockpit is a little faster at loading and snappier. They fixed the jumpy pane for the progress bars at the bottom. ColorProof Pro seems more accurate with our custom media sizes for our epson. Signa has a welcome new...

John I agree with you 100% I am actually doing the same thing, going back to school to retrain myself. Its funny you mention accounting, because I was considering it to. But choose something else. Print is shrinking and dieing, we need to moving into a industry which is growing. The green...

There is one not so documented feature in 10.6 called image capture, it improves support for scanners. I thought this would be very helpful to our industry.

Newer is not always better, install the os on an external firewire drive and test out your apps. I wouldn't upgrade or think of it until about the third patch of 10.6 is out. 10.6.1 is already in the works, which is ridiculous. Plus there is a bug already with SMB volumes. If you, like me, we...

You should be able to drop Ripped tiffs from meta into the hot folders print console watches. When I mean drop have meta do it with a path not you having to manually do it. Print console is not a rip but like Meta shooter it just queues up the tiffs at the very final output stage before the...

That was awesome!

Hey J For us it is information. The more proper info we have on the docket the easier our job is. This begins with the production planning department if they take the time and get it right then the steps after usually work better (prepress.. etc). As well you may want to look how prepress is...

Sounds like you had a similar problem like we did. When sending jobs down to prepress interface with mulitple signatures, each signature at press would have the same job name without any other indication. We had HD come in and turn on a function in PPI to enable a job string. The job string can...

Chuck, I sent you a PM, can you let me know?

Hi AlanZ I am having the exact same problem with PDF optimizer in Acrobat Pro (9). But we are generating our PDF's from a prepress workflow then we need to optimize them in Acrobat to make them small enough to email. I see you have a solution but this is based on your PHP custom software how...

Hi Chuck thanks for responding to my question, I was wondering when you would =) Great posts... all of them. It looks like I have the correct tools and knowledge. Since Heidelberg can approve my G7 requirement I will be going that route. Chuck I will PM you on this as I do have a question. 1...

Yes we want to get our G7 master Printer Qualification, from the doc you sent (thanks) I just need a G7 Expert to ok the sheet for me. Which is what I am planning to do since I have the training and equipment from Heidelberg.

Hi Kristian We have a XP4 for a almost a year. Needed to pick one up for a client who insisted on accurate proofs for metallics. Does a great job. We do not have a lot of experience with the unit as not many clients are requesting them because they are expensive or our clients trust us. But I...

How do you proof metallics on a HP5500???

We aiming to get our G7 certificate. Currently we have invested in Heidelberg Image control and Color Tools. Which I find to be a great set of hardware and software. Been through the training and matched our proof to press, and calibrated to near neutral. Recently had a visit by a service group...

That is one of the dumbest things I have read. So you are saying Global Warming isn't happening?? It's been happening for years is all around us. From my own personal experience growing up in the Great White North, we are seeing shorter winters, less snow coverage. Summers are becoming hotter...

I feel the same way about printing, it is dying. The internet is having a impact on our industry (free classifieds anyone) and so is digital print, quality sucks but when everyone is trying to save a buck it starts to look great. There is a purge happening at the moment and we'll see who...

I had the same impression about Bones as well.

If you have an older system you might have a memory issue, either not enough RAM or your disk space where it puts temp files is full. A restart may not flush this out. Plate dpi and file dpi are completely different. You still need to rip your file to plate in order to apply your screen...

We are at v4.0 at the moment, have been for awhile since about Novemeber, we are eagerly waiting for the 4.5 patch. But it always seems to be about another month when we talk with support.
