    CTP Plates ECO3 problem

    Did you recently install a new batch of plates? It...could...be a bad batch? Did your pressroom recently change anything like fountain solution or fountain solution dosage? Did they turn down their water on press? Blanket/packing material issue? Pressure/vacuum? Do you have another press you...

    Canon Service

    So the company I mentioned charges a crazy amount? I'm only asking because I haven't used them in over a decade so not familiar with their current service offerings/prices.

    Still have vertical lines going through all colors OKI C931

    I have no experience with OKI printers but the vertical lines seem like they should not be there. Since you've basically replaced everything else, I would try the fuser. If the lines persist, the only other thing I can think of is to try a different stock? I assume you have tried contacting OKI...

    AFP Files???

    Hi all, Has anyone ever worked with .afp files (let alone heard of them?)? I found a site that converts afp to pdf but for the file my sales rep gave me, what I get after conversion is a low-res image of text that looks like a postcard format. Any help is greatly appreciated! Best regards, pd

    Canva

    Hi everyone, Has anyone had any issues with PDF files created by Canva? I've been asked by my sales team on if they should encourage to or discourage their customers from using Canva. I've had limited experience with Canva and my gut feeling is to discourage. Your thoughts? Best regards and...

    Apogee Prepress 7 press calibration .mime files location

    I don't believe there is a way to directly send data from your press calibration software into Apogee Prepress. You would have to manually import the .mime file each time (assuming the data within the .mime file is correctly formatted for Apogee to be able to read it). In terms of the location...

    Acrobat Pro, Marquee Zoom causing SBOD

    Hi Glenn, Are you working with REALLY high-res content? If so, that...could...slow you down when using the Marquee tool. If not........ I've noticed that with the latest version of Acrobat, when I have an object selected with Pitstop, there is a mild screen flicker. I haven't seen the SBOD...

    Double-sided Epson proofs?

    I personally have two SpinJet's and love them. Unfortunately, the company that made them is no longer in business. pd

    Double-sided Epson proofs?

    Technically, wide format Epson printers are not two-sided proofers as there is no duplexer accessory available for them (that I know of), however, they ARE capable of printing on pre-cut sheets vs a roll of paper. There is a guide on the Epson that shows how to align a sheet of paper. Your...

    crazy requests

    I once had a customer that 4 times a year would have us print a 4-pager (1500 quantity) but they would wait until the last possible minute to release art to us because of all the text changes they loved to make (and then make more after we proofed it!). So, about 11pm on a SATURDAY NIGHT, they...

    Prinect Alternative

    I use ECO3's (formerly Agfa’s) Apogee Prepress workflow. The nice thing about Apogee is that imposition is built in. Apogee Impose is a brilliant feature and offers A LOT of functionality. Best regards, pd

    Acrobat and Flightcheck

    Oh, one more idea before uninstalling/reinstalling. Try creating a test macOS user account, login to that account, FlightCheck a PDF and see if Acrobat opens.

    Acrobat and Flightcheck

    Although it's a pain, I wonder if a complete uninstall/reinstall of Acrobat might do the trick. After uninstalling, run the AcroCleaner tool from Adobe which removes all the files/folders that the Acrobat Uninstaller does not and reboot. The AcroCleaner tool can be found here: AcroCleaner —...

    Acrobat and Flightcheck

    Do you get the error if the PDF you are FlightCheck'ing isn't on the desktop but maybe in a folder somewhere?

    Acrobat and Flightcheck

    One other thing to try would be to temporarily disable any Anti-Malware software you might have installed. It could be interfering with this.
