    InDesign to Illustrator

    So far, everyone has said Illustrator is used for labels. Other than I feel more comfortable in Illustrator over InDesign, I haven't seen anyone post a good reason why Illustrator is used. If there are features Illustrator has which InDesign doesn't. Great, share them and what they are used for...

    InDesign to Illustrator

    I haven't worked with label printing and I am sure there are several of us who are just like me. Can you explain what you have to manipulate in an Illustrator file to get it to print on a label (flexo press). Perhaps this will help the rest of us understand what is needing to be done to our files.

    Forum Categories Read/unRead

    I like how when you are in a Category like "The Lounge". You can see which threads you read, if they are Bold they are unread. It used to be this way in the Category listing as well but a recent update I think broke this. Am I the only one seeing this?

    Job tracking software...

    I like the saying "Buy if you can, build if you must". Referring to buy off the shelf software and if you can't then build. Majority of the time, there is off the shelf software which has the features to meet your business needs. Sometimes the feature isn't exactly how your shop may work, but...

    Accuzip???

    There is a lot to learn about providing the USPS mailings today and in the future. The USPS is wanting all Mailing Companies to submit their documentation electronically. It isn't a requirement today, but they are wanting it to be. If you want to get the Full-Service discount of .001 per piece...

    InDesign Plugin In The Cloud

    You might be thinking InDesign runs in the cloud with the new structure. It doesn't, it is a downloadable application where the license is cloud based. Individual Plugins still work on your local computer.

    Fusion Pro text frame shifting

    We have tested out Fusion Pro several times and no matter which version. We still run into the same problems. When we mark a text frame within InDesign as variable. When the PDF is exported to Fusion Pro, the text frame isn't in the same spot it was within InDesign. Does anyone have a solution...

    Preps 5.3

    I know Preps 6 only works with PDF's, not sure about Preps 7. I highly doubt they would add the ability to place eps files back in after they have switched to a PDF imposition. If you switch to a pdf to pdf workflow. Plan on testing, testing, testing. Not sure if you print separations out of...
