This originally started out in the following thread: http://printplanet.com/forums/adobe/23608-why-i-go-ps-instead-exporting-pdf#post148548 Rather than hijack the thread, I thought I would create a new one. The Prepress Technician checks to make sure the file is built with the correct colors...

Pushing the problem down steam doesn't work for for those who don't have a RIP such as a freelance designer or an Ad Agency.

We need this so we can show the customer an accurate PDF of what is going to print. Example 1: The job is CMYK plus a spot varnish. The spot varnish has been created in the .psd as a spot color with the color specified as 15% cyan. We would like to show the customer just the CMYK without the...

For 6 plus years I have wanted the ability to control which separations were exported from InDesign to a PDF. But nothing has changed.

We ended up creating our own scheduling system within Filemaker. The system is similar to how many people have described their white boards, but this is electronic. Anyone can update the status of the job while going through the shop. This way the scheduling system stays current as the job flows...

I take it no one from this forum uses JetLetter PSL.

We too switched to the Nexus PDF workflow from the Nexus rasterworkflow and are continuing to use Preps for our Imposition software. We did run into a few issues: 1.) Nexus Manager requires Tiger (10.4) or higher. We were on Panther (10.3) 2.) The Preps purple Eve 3 key does not work with Tiger...

I would like to hear peoples feedback on what they think of JetLetter PSL. I know "Digital Press Guy" works for them and would like to hear from others. Are there any other alternatives for Trans-promo VDP software which is not specific to one vendors hardware, like the way VIPP is from Xerox...

I thought, converting to grayscale would be the best choice. After all, what if the image is suppose to print in Black ink but there are other images on the page which are to print in CMYK.

I have a client who sent in an RGB image which has the color removed; ie one spot on the photograph has the same amount of RGB. The client wants this to print just using Black ink. Is this how you would provide the file? Or would you convert it to grayscale before sending to the printer?

Why are you placing the customers PDF into Illustrator? Illustrator is not a PDF editor. If you want a way to edit PDF's I would suggest Pitstop from Enfocus.

I was about ready to report on the same thing Lukas did One thing I did notice, is that the actual clipping path is in the document, but it is 37 inches above the page when viewed within Illustrator. What I found odd about the clipping path is that it is only a line with 2 points instead of a...

DCurry, I see exactly what you are talking about with the 50% Black and the Multiply. But how you explained it isn't quite right. The default of InDesign is to have "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" checked. This means when the Black swatch is used at 100% it will overprint. Setup: Use the...

I believe this was fixed in the 7.02 update.

We use our MIS software (Hagen) to keep track of the time for us.

Your plates are coming out of your processor wet? Ours come out dry. Instead of coming up with a way to put them in a holder. I would try and get the plate dry coming out of the processor.

Sounds like a possible corrupt User Account. Create a new User Account and try opening the applications.

Go into your Pitstop preferences, Tools Tab. In my version, the setting is at the bottom and is called "Prevent the automatic change of the PDF version when saving"

Magnus, You are correct, Acrobat does save the PDF as a newer version. If you have the Pitstop plug-in installed. I believe there is a setting to save as current version, even if you are not using Pitstop.

Your new mac will come with Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard does not support Apple Talk printing any more. So if you are printing to your RIP or digital device using Apple Talk. You will need to change your workflow.
