Tim-Ellis, we see tremendous color shifts with Illustrator in the wide format world, gradient, transparency masks just are really an issue if you don't watch out.

To all Apple preview! You're kidding right?

T​wo reasons come to mind, one they have the fonts and links, two they don't know the difference. I.E. they don't track or see the errors and therefore the increased costs.

To all, do you remember before the ladies worked with us and we were proud to be strippers?

shorty83 opening a PDF file in AI is asking for issues, if the file was saved with AI editing capabilities then you have a native file. You need fonts sometimes links it's BS in spades. We just bought a CJV150-130 Mimaki with Rasterlik 6.6 and of course the morons who service it wanted us to...

Joe unfortunately rasterizing Adobe PDF files in MANY CASES is the only financially viable alternative. the client is a CHEAP ASS, the time frame is VERY SHORT and the client wouldn't know quality if it bit them. I know shops where that is the standard work flow for PDF files. TOO BAD! I love...

Dov Issacs, EDUCATING the masses has had the same result for the last 30 years. THE SAME PROBLEMS over and over, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. But I gues we have to try.

Ok I need to know what to do so that Illustrator users that have Acrobat DO NOT open PDF files in Illustrator? I cannot find a way to lock out AI and still give us output capabilities. Any suggestions besides stringing up the user by the thumbs.

A​re you saying that you still want to use a laser output device and shoot with a camera?

toronar I agree, unfortunately we have a society where more people have a degree, but now the degree is next to useless. Education is a business and that business is providing jobs for educators not educating students. If anyone thinks I'm kidding just take a graduate for a design, school or a...

dabob 25 years ago there were 165 print shops in the yellow pages in my area now under a dozen and a few of them are not in the area. Large format devices are everywhere, in house for many companies and there are over 40 companies producing large format within a 10 mile radius. We have many of...

Keith advertising must be challenging as traditional venues are lost identifying new ones must be tough. Pay for TV providers have lost 685,000 subscribers last quarter, I don not even have broadcast TV, neither do my sons or daughters families. Phone web access and tablet is most of it, I do...

streamimports use the Pantone books and pick a great pressman. GOOD LUCK!

Keith, QR codes does anyone really use them? In todays age I wonder if advertising really does anything? Well the mail mans back still hurts and everyone makes less money.

The response to mail is headed the same direction of pay television hookups, DOWN. I get the mail look for bills and checks everything else goes DIRECTLY TO THE TRASH!

dabob it's not the $20 per month for one it's the principle, (Corel costs me $250 for 3 years before a new cycle) and the other issue is the lousy client base that works that way, they're supposed to be the pros but their files are awful and they whine when you want to charge for the repair...

Craig the EFI RIP has certainly come along way. How do you like how it handle transparency? Unfortunately the health and future of the graphics industry is reflected in this thread. It seems that many don't seem to understand that in the technology world the dark ages are only a year or two...

AP90 I haven't bashed Apple I said I wished when the turn to Intel based systems happened they would have taken it seriously and been REAL competition for Microsoft. With that said you seem to not understand installed user based, embedded educational systems and the users lack of desire for...

Why in gods name would you want to do this?

duanebryant, buying used could be an issue if the transfer hasn't been done properly Adobe may not honor the purchase and you'll lose your money. We only take IDML files for ID CC, saved back versions of PS and AI for select clients we force all others into print ready PDF files. The cost of...
