In Disk Utility do you see the name of the drive in the left panel or just the hard drive manufacturer info? If you see the drive name, chances are the drive is working or semi working. HFS+ rarely gets screwed up, but when it does, it's major. You may still be able to rescue the data if...

A monitor can never truly match printed material as they use two different types of color representation. Monitors use the RGB color format that adds all the colors together to make white. Printers use CMYK, which adds ink to white paper to form colors. The conversion process will yield some...

What that error indicates is that somehow the filesystem have become horribly corrupt. Without going into very techy details, your hard drive has an index, sort if like a map to where all your data is. Without that index, it's just s garbled mess. You will definitely need some kind of recovery...

The Oki based machines (Xerox, Xante, PSI) all have toning issues. The stated life of consumables like drums and transfer belts is rarely realized in the real world. It's ok for things like 10pt event posters on a C1S stock, but it's not really that great at envelopes as it tends to flatten them...

That price is just ridiculous. I would pull out the drive and take a look at it. It could be ATA or it could be SCSI. Either way, you should be able to pick one up online no problem.

Zeta is right, the RGB screen capture will be the image your video card sees, not what the monitor displays.

If the backguage is dragging you should see scoring on the table. More than likely the drive screw needs to be lubricated. You can try spraying the table with WD40 and see if the squeaking stops. If it doesn't, the drive screw needs to be lubricated with a grease gun. The manual will tell you...

The honest answer is HP does not produce a "production" printer that can be compared to Xerox, Cannon, Konica, etc... that does not imply their machines aren't any good. When you use the term "production" in the digital printing industry, most people will think 200K impressions a month, service...

And be prepared to shell out $500k for a new one, or close to $100k for a good used one.

If you look at the area in question under a loop and you see a shiny smooth metallic surface, it's probably foil. If it's an ink you should be able to see paper grains. Also, if you put the sheet on a light table, if its foil you should not see any light through it, if its ink you will see...

The consumables being remanufactured is nothing new, they have been doing it for years. Generally there is nothing wrong with it, but with everything else that comes out of a factory sometimes things get screwed up. Even if you weren't on a click charge you would get the same reman drum, they...

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but I agree, not remotely close. I've seen $50 HP inkjets at Walmart do better. It would be good for addressing, but that's about it. The blacks are faded, text is wavy, colors are off; it's a neat idea, it just needs a lot of work. Some better inks, better...

If you can, try using distilled water instead of tap water. Also, the ambient room temperature that the processor is in affects algae growth, the cooler the better. Depending on your film use you should be able to get 2 weeks or so, but I have experienced the algae as well, and it does make for...

I've seen some samples, and my biggest issue is that the inks are not water safe like offset or laser. Get a drop of water, or sweat, and it runs like a home inkjet. That for me is the nail on the coffin. It's not uncommon for mail to get wet, and if your clients customers get a waterpaint...

A good used 2 color press in the size you need would cost you $100K. You would still need plates, ink, a pressman who could output good 4 color, coating and finishing equipment, etc... Nothing digital can go that wide. In reality to be efficient your would need a 40" 4+ color press, and a...

When you have an RFP for a job you need to include some detailed specs. Is this full color? Is it 2 sided? Is it full bleed 18"x24"? Does it need to be finished (folded, coated, etc...). Where does it need to be delivered to? Your job is quite large, but not undoable by many large shops.

It's not at all ridiculous. The DPI values listed are what is required by an imagesetter or platesette to produce a halftone image. If you input a 300DPI image the RIP (Raster Image Processor) interpolates the remaining dot pattern and sends the output device the correct image for whatever line...

I'm so glad you brought up this topic. On my site I have an article on just this subject. Graficworx - Honolulu, Hawaii It by no means covers everything, but it should give you a general idea. There is a formula for figuring out the DPI needed for a certain LPI, but I have seen the formula vary...

A DC 252 is considered by Xerox to be a production machine, but not what they qualify a a "graphics" machine. In Xerox terms the production machine will varynmore than the graphics machine. Don't get me wrong, a 252 can produce great results, but it can very based on temp, humidity, length of...

I found some Flint Ink, really cheap! Inky crash may shut down ramp from Route 128 to I-95 North during evening commute - Peabody - Your Town - Boston.com
