    Split Spreads into Single Pages?

    If this is always the case, you could check Fiverr and have some write a Python script that will do it for you. And would probably only cost you $20-50 US. Then you will always have it, and no extra software to buy. I've used it for something similar, but it was a one time only project, but it...

    What's Driving Mac vs. PC Purchasing Today?

    Let's all just agree that Mac or PC, it's just a tool to get the job done. And it really comes down to preference. I've been an IT person since the 80s and I prefer Mac, but can work on PC too. I used to see that PCs weren't as reliable as Macs, but drive around your town, do you notice that...

    Apple Silicon / M1 Macbook Air & Macbook Pro

    Another option, if you have the space, would be to keep a couple of those 2013 Mac Pros in operation but off in a corner and turn on screen sharing. Then upgrade the user's Macs and they could remote into the Mac Pros when needed. At least until those software manufacturers make M1 compatible...

    Best wishes for tomorrow

    I haven't watched the video. But just reading that "Dems are the original slave owners, Reps fought to free them." Which I already knew. And I glad this is waking more people to the history. An slavery started a LONG time before there were Dems and Reps. We can go back to the Egytians when they...

    Content Proofing

    We have Prinergy 8 too, and were using 9900 also but not KPS. We just using GMG or Fiery to send IMPO PDFs to proofers. A few years ago we switched to a system called IMPOProof that uses two Canons to back up the proof "automatically". And it works pretty darn good too. Our production manager...

    Problem with Fiery "impose" not saving variable images

    Have you tried imposing a few pages before and after the page(s) that are loosing the variable images. Or even try making a new file with just a few pages that are loosing the variable images and see what happens. I've never used Fiery Impose, but do have FusionPro and we use the Impose included...

    Latest Indesign issue

    Been using that for over 20 years. It is the great. I hate working on a Mac without it. So slow to do anything.

    PRINT CONTROLLERS & APPE (PDF PRINT ENGINE) 5.0?

    There is also the issue of being able to reprint old jobs. And there have been issues with restoring jobs from a previous version of APPE, in the beginning of new versions. No one wants to keep multiple systems in operation because of compatibility issues. RIP manufactures don't want to release...

    Printing Industry Standards/Dealer Ethics/Disclosures

    I don't know about the legality of any of this, but common sense would dictate that, if any machine was assembled in any shape of fashion at a location for operation whether purchased or for demo, and then disassembled and reassembled again at another location, than it has been "used". I would...

    Label Software for Variable Data to sheets

    We use FusionPro to accomplish what you are asking. But I know XMPie could do it to. And I'm sure there are many others out there too. Might even be able to do something like that with Avery Label Software, depending on size of label and sheet.

    Brisque Express - how is it hardware restricted?

    With older equipment you could try some contact enhancer solution, that I have used with great success over the years. It's called Stabilant-22, and here is a link to a page describing it. Stabilant-22 Application Notes If you got this stuff. Move everything back to the old hardware. Remove all...

    Kodak Sonora X vs Fuji Superia Z vs AGFA Eclipse - Your Thoughts

    I would like to add, what presses are you using the plates on, too. As we all know, some plates work better on some presses than others.

    Two sided impo proofing

    We have the IMPOProof System with dual Canon iPF8400SEs. It's has been really good. And yes it works best when you are proofing multiple jobs. If you are doing one or two at a time, you will waste quite a bit of media, around 2 feet with each set of jobs you "force" out. Canon IMPOproof Link...

    Covid-19 Creates Opportunity

    This would be funny, if there weren't companies out there actually thinking of doing this. At least I believe there are, no proof or knowledge of the fact, just past experience with big business wanting to make a buck.

    Indigo printing is a plastic film

    Boy it sure it great that companies can get all kinds of certifications declaring that their product(s) are recyclable or compostable, but in reality they aren't. How is this truth in advertising? It's kinda like a newspaper back in the day, that would publish a completely wrong story which they...

    Indigo printing is a plastic film

    I'm not saying that print from Indigo is recyclable or not, but did you read the paragraph on page 12 under the "Design with the Environment in Mind"? I think this could be an interesting conversation. Sustainability credentials include the Green Leaf mark and certification from TUV Austria’s...

    No one talking about corona virus yet? - Thoughts on slowing down

    The bigger problem, that I don't think people are seeing is not the virus, but the side effects of the virus on the population. As we have already seen, hospitals are being over run and running out of PPEs. Yes the virus in general, is not that bad in the grand scheme of things, but it's...

    Pantone Color Percentages...

    In theory, anyway.

    Pantone Color Percentages...

    The reason why some printers care about the CMYK breakout instead of Lab, is because on one press you might run a customers job as Spot and another you might need to run it CMYK. There could be press issues, ink issues, stock issues, or a hole list of other reasons that could be the issue. Or...
