    Need some help from someone who speaks French....

    I need to add a little blip to a current carton I do for a long-time customer. I used Google Translate to come up with this, but I wanted to have someone who speaks French look it over to make sure its not a really bad translation or something. English: Actual product colors may vary from...

    Adobe, Pantone and their &%(#& LaB values!

    This is just a rant, I have to vent somewhere where at least someone might read it who understands my pain. I just spent the last 30 mins trying to find the Legacy Pantone swatch libraries for Illustrator because the new Pantone+ converts for &*$(%#Q&! PMS 937.... a tint of fluorescent yellow...

    Suprasetter A75 needs to burn 775mm plates??

    well.... there's that. But there's the part where he's the guy that signs my paycheck.... soo..... ;) We can work with it as it is, even limited to the 760. We only go to our max press width about half dozen times a year, and we are keeping our old plate burner so we can keep a box of plates...

    Suprasetter A75 needs to burn 775mm plates??

    So I have a fun problem this week. The short: Anyone have any success getting a Suprasetter A75 to feed and run plates larger than 760mm wide on slowscan? The full explanation: We just installed a new-to-us Heidelberg Suprasetter A75. Somehow, both the owner and the sales guy missed that it's...

    Printsmith pricing

    That was my understanding. Last time I looked at it, ok, over 5 years ago, but from what I remember we were looking at over $100k US for just basic job management & estimating.

    Printsmith pricing

    yeah, I have looked at it before, and aside from the price, one of the main reasons we passed was because we had no control over the information, job ticket layout, and a few other things. It was very much "You will learn to do things their way and like it" mentality. That doesn't fly in my...

    Printsmith pricing

    has anyone recently installed Printsmith? My boss heard from his brother that they put in Printsmith for job management and estimating for a low price that I don't think is even possible. I don't want to switch, I like the software we use now, and I don't want to have to deal with the sales...

    Designer showed a customer final files without overprint preview settings on, really?

    there is a warning that pops up and warns you about overprinting white. but most people click the "do not show again" box after the first time completely defeating the purpose.

    Designer showed a customer final files without overprint preview settings on, really?

    A good thought, but I don't see them removing the ability to turn on overprinting when using white.

    What software for postcards & flyers

    They haven't been the standard since they got too arrogant and comfortable in their throne of "king position" and stopped developing their software for a few years. At the same time, in their arrogance, they stopped playing nice with school / student discounts. Tie that in with their initial...

    Please help settle a disagreement

    I've been watching this quietly and thought I should make an observation. As someone who used to run press, and now runs the prepress department, it is sounding to me more like you are a pressman who has run into too many bad prepress people. a GOOD prepress operator, or supervisor understands...

    You know you're old when . . .

    OMG!!! thank you!! I needed a laugh today! No granted I started printing in my HS print shop so of course the equipment was out of date. But I remember doing my typsetting on Greyscreen macs with Pagemaker and saving my work on the external Floppy drive. printing out what I needed on a dot...

    How do I explain to a client that a CMYK value is not an actual color?

    That is a beautiful thing!! I'm kind of jealous! arossetti~ That is exactly what i'm saying. in regards to what started the discussion, he was asking how he can best designate a color to be stable across all platforms, print methods and paper types. and while yes, specifying a LaB value will...
