    windows 2003 server, unable to access file share with admin credentials after crash

    This may or may not help but given that these Mac’s have recent versions of the macOS, they may not, by default, communicate using the older SMB v1 protocol that the 2003 server probably uses. You may be able to control this behavior by adding an SMB configuration file (nsmb.conf) to your Mac...

    Hi Lellio, please confirm which network protocol those two Mac’s used to connect to the server prior to the crash. Best regards, pd

    Does anyone use AI within the Print Industry

    Here are a few examples: 1. An AppleScript which duplicates every page in a PDF x times (we often print on 3 or 4 part carbonless and the RIP software doesn’t offer a feature for printing a page multiple times). 2. An AppleScript that creates our job folder structure and copies it to a...

    Shape Nesting Software?

    Hi everyone, I am looking for software that can nest shapes that would be cut on a Zund type cutter. For example: I would prefer a plugin for Illustrator or Acrobat. I am aware of apps like Tilia, Metrix, etc. but they are too expensive for my needs. Any suggestions? Thank you, pd

    Pitstop Pro - Forcing either single page or current page programmatically?

    Is there a way via Action List to select the CURRENT page regardless of which page is being viewed (and without having to select ‘Current Page' in 'Run On')?

    Both X-Rite and Techkon have solutions but it depends on what you mean by inexpensive.

    Creating New Action List

    It shouldn’t as you would have to create a hot folder setup in Pitstop Server, define the Action List to be applied, and then drag the PDF onto the hot folder. Something to check is the page range that is set in the main Action List window itself. It could be that you are trying to apply the...

    thin lines on the plate ctp cron 4648ex

    I don’t know anything about Cron CTP devices so here’s a shot in the dark. Can the laser diodes be cleaned? Maybe there is some kind of debris on the diode or perhaps some other part of the laser optics as a whole? Maybe one or more of the lenses the laser travels through before reaching the...

    Google variable fonts - exporting PDF-X4 - no go...

    You stated that “the clients PDF from the Indeisgn 'Package' is fine”. Is the PDF in the zip file you posted from your customer? I ask because when I view that PDF, Pitstop shows the fonts in question as ‘Regular'.

    Rendering issues PDF from Indesign / Kodak Preps

    Interesting. When I inspected that PDF with Pitstop, it shows as though the text is still colored with the gradient. What’s also interesting is that if you look at the ‘OOP’ in ‘VERLOOP’, the color within those letters starts to get darker. It’s as though the center point of the gradient got...

    @goudou42 - contact an ECO3 sales rep and request some current C8 users’ contact info and see what they have to say.

    Looking to buy new CTP

    Agfa did produce an (Agfa-designed and built I believe) Avalon. They later contracted with Screen to produce the AvalonN-XXX series. I’m not sure if it was considered to be a larger version of the Galileo though. If the Avalon C series is made by someone other than Screen, this is the first I...

    Looking to buy new CTP

    I have an older AvalonN8-90S and it has been fantastic. If the C8 is anything like the N8, you’ll like it! Before getting the N8, we also had a Galileo. I had way more service calls on the Galileo compared to the Avalon. Best regards, pd
