>I sit down at a windows box and just looking at the interface makes me grimace. Exactly, for reasons that are certainly not based on logic a company owner who does not know listens to your kind of advice and productivity and profit are lost. I'm setting in a business right now that went...

Configurability for the PC is certainly an advantage over the MAC but so is RAW horsepower per dollar. Here's a link to an opinion piece on resourcemagazineonlune about a $4,000 PC MAC head to head test...

What would that be? I see RAW horsepower, I don't have to embed if I don't want to. I certainly would never attempt on any platform embedding 4GB in any Adobe application.

This is a screen grab of a file that 155.5" x 93" at 100 PPI, for the background of a trade show booth. The image is 566 MB and the CorelDraw file for design purposes is 8 pages containing one of these images on each page that well over 4GB of file contents. Below is the original post on another...

Here's another example this time my work, I don't go for the hard corrections the one above does leave the subjects character but is not my cup of tea. I do these type of corrections.

Here's an example from a Ps ALTERNATIVE

Well that's a load of crap, this is a common problem even print paper and ink does the same thing, managing the client expectations is the only answer. You should try making solvent printed graphics, color management is a technology that is awesome and very helpful but there is no technical...

Illustrator editable PDF files are very problematic for our Oynx, VersWorks and Rasterlynk RIPS. Color shifts from one panel to another are common place

What you did is how about 99% of files like this are being handled in the wide format business. It's certainly the RIP in my experience true PDF RIPs handle transparency better but I know none that handle it properly 100% of the time. In some RIPS Illustrator layering can cause color shifts...

How do you then know if the employee is FOS?

AGREED! A true path to bankruptcy

Sure we can agree to disagree but what do we tell the best and brightest coming into the industry? 25 years ago the day I started my shop, there were 141 printers in my area, now there are 11. With that stellar performance I believe that the definition of insanity, (doing things the same way...

prepressdork, >I print offset for the vast majority of my clients and they expect quality I used to do exclusively offset work but removed myself from it as much as possible since the profit margins went to the crapper. I do only about 10% of my work on press now and only the high end work...

Good the pressure release will extend their life. So I consider the service part of the Affordable Health Care Act. On the other hand I have one AI CC 2016 user where she and I are constantly ragging each other about Illustrator and CorelDraw. She learned Illustrator in school, has lots of...

Well when the software/people are not productive and therefore not sufficiently profitable, this happens.

Gordo >If the press is set up to reflect the same characterization data then, both proof and presswork will align with one another. It is unlikely that they will match one another because of the very different mechanics of how each creates color. This sounds like marketing crap, align, match...

prepressdork, >we must use the apps that our customers use...period Actually we don't any more for a large part of the work being processed because 90% is low cost GIGO and the end user wouldn't know quality if it bit them in the butt. That's why so many wide format printers just RIP the PDF to...

Look at the two posts directly above, oxbuger and mmerjamer, completely contradictory advice. These are the kind of problems on should not expect to have with Adobe/MAC combinations.

Of course old Windows boxes are less stable, but unless you have hardware and software specific needs it's foolish to use one. I went from Windows 3.1 to quad processor NT4 systems, placed several XP systems after Sp2 placed 1 Vista system on line as a test, had multiple Windows 7 systems. I...

Slammer the new designer coming into the graphics industry need to learn to think. Learn how the evaluate their software, many graphic companies are now marketing design as part of their services. This fact totally eliminates the need for Adobe. I tried Corel PaintShop Pro 9 for rasterizing...
