    Crop a pdf into Multiple Smaller pdfs

    The methods I would employ for something like that 1. Crop off the bottom and right sides of all pages 2. using the plugin Quite Imposing, perform a "Tile Pages" operation: 2 Across, 4 Down its not perfectly on the grey lines, but its the simplest way I see to do it. I don't know of anything...

    Is it possible to get prepress projects from US/UK print shops?

    build a business around fixing CANVA files, most pre-press people would happily outsource to you... hell, I'd consider paying out of pocket to let you/someone/anyone fix them for me LOL

    Is it possible to get prepress projects from US/UK print shops?

    possible? yes... realistically... no there is no way to remotely do proofs/press-checks, among a myriad of other hands one requirements of doing pre-press. you would have to be knowledgeable in that shops equipment, its capabilities, and intimately knowledgeable in its limitations. You would...

    Removing Oce\Canon PrismaPrepare page programming data from PDF files?

    yeah, that is the problem. Losing that data. I have since learned HOW Prisma Prepare stores that data within the PDF, its coming up with a Pitstop (or similar) process that will move that content out of the <oced> containers... its a head scratcher that i'm probably going to have to put in a...

    Prepress pro building designer education tool - what file errors do you see most?

    What errors do I see most!? LOL I stopped keeping track of them... but... Lack of proper/usable Bleeds when there needs to be Lack of an even Border if the item does not bleed. Most digital presses can only print within (as little as) 2mm to 4mm from the edge. A good print, that does not...

    Removing Oce\Canon PrismaPrepare page programming data from PDF files?

    Before I rip what little hair I have left using trial and error, I'm hoping someone has already figured out how to do this. Remove the Page Programming data out of a PDF saved with PrismaPrepare (a Canon/Oce WYSIWYG application). Yes I know you can "Open as clean...", this has the negative...

    CanonIX 3200i w/ Prisma Trying to run NCR

    I've never gotten variable data to work with the cycle count on any of my Oce/Canon devices. I have a separate media I call "NCR_2Part-2", that purposely has the cycle count set to '1' and we have to manually fix the next sheet in the tray based on the last sheet out of the machine during a jam.

    Versant 280 Creasing

    what kind of volume in that period? The "failure" can be either in the upper belt assembly or the lower pressure roller. it could also just be your stock... grain direction, natural curl, humidity oh, and also are you changing your suction filters (the one in the back) regularly?

    Versant 4100 color problems

    can you screen-shot/photograph the curve? (my curves are a little wonky) is your calibration actually matching the setup in your job? (this made me realize that my calibration is a little old LOL) do you have Image Enhancement or anything turned on?

    Versant 4100 color problems

    We've had Versant 4100s for over four years now. We haven't experienced anything like this, at least nothing that wasn't easily resolved. A Xerox tech wasn't even able to fix the problem? Is this happening to all jobs, and regardless of how they are sent to the machine? i.e. Postscript...

    Xerox partners with Kyocera for Cut Sheet production presses

    Interesting! My rep was telling me they were coming out with a new press. Her face went stone-cold dead when I asked who's technology they were going with since they ended their relationship with Fuji. LOL Our leases end in 10(?) months on our Versant 4100s, I think this new round of RFQs in...

    xerox v280... odd error

    I can confirm an issue with the firmware in the T1 inserter on the V4100 (which I would suspect existed in the V3100 also). Especially if you are creasing the covers in the Creaser/Top-Bottom Trim module, AND have T1 Optimize Speed (Speed First) turned on. They had to take logs and install a...

    Versant 180 Toner Issue

    Pressure roll... you can do a bunch of fuser cleanings to get rid of it, but it will come back until the pressure roll is replaced.

    Errors when processing / ripping PDF

    **part 2 Lastly, you could turn all of the pages into rasters... then re-combine them into one "giga file". either using Ghostscript, or select the "print as image" option with Acrobat Pro and send to Adobe PDF writer. Ghostscript: gswin64 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r400...
