    Getting Jobs / Ink Settings to Heidelberg Sheetfed Press via Linear Flash Card

    I know I'm way late to the party, but just wanted to add. Another option to get CIP3 data from Prepress to the Press is to use a company called PrintFlow. They are in the EU, and they are who we use in our shop to connect Prinergy to our Heidelberg (used to be 3 now only 1). We already had the...

    Advice and suggestiongs on two sided impo proofing

    Full install update and before full on use. We have the older base that is HUGE! But with 2 new Canon iPF8400SEs. Overall it is quite impressive. How it is setup and operates is quite interesting and clever. The software is pretty easy to get around and figure out (for the most part, but not...

    You know you're old when . . .

    When surfing the web, meant using Gopher, Telnet, and newsgroups. You had to know how to type, and to see a photo, meant downloading a compressed file. Seeing a photo on the screen while surfing...that will never happen. Why would you want that, it makes things way too slow. Let's not forget...

    Ghost images on our print job

    Have you tried running the job 90 degrees to what you were running to see if the ghosting goes away. That might help you determine if it is a press or file issue. Just a thought.

    Customer address list cleanup

    This is a good way to prove to your customer how valuable your service is, and why they should want to pay the "List Services" fee. For me in prepress, who doesn't really have a say. If it is a small list (under 250) that hasn't gone through our mailing department to get the full treatment, I...

    Advice and suggestiongs on two sided impo proofing

    We are looking at replacing out Epson Stylus Pro 9900 that we use for our IMPO book proofer, which we load cut sheets into to mimic the press sheets. It's getting old, and lines ( which we all know means a new head at this point, too many cleanings and still not fixed ). It's been out of...

    Trying to save an .ai file to a pdf

    If you are scaling the images in Illy, try scaling them in Photoshop first then place them at 100% in Illy. You can always place them in Illy to get position and scale of what you want, but then go back and fix all the placed files so there are 100%, which will make the Illy file or even the PDF...

    My 9/11 story

    I too was on my way to GExpo. I was taking the train from Grand Rapids, MI to Chicago (my first train ride by the way). I had my headphones on listening to the local radio stations on the way, when I started to hear what was going on in NYC. Soon the news spread throughout the car, as we did...

    Brisque running out of storage - help.

    Re: Brisque running out of storage - help. How easily is that to do? My co-worker seems to believe it is a very big ordeal to do, even to the point where we would have to call someone in. Is there anywhere where I can get some info on how to do? Thanks.

    Brisque running out of storage - help.

    We have a Brisque 4.176.0, and we are running out of space on the hard drives. How easy is it to setup a NAT and have the Brisque mount it as another volume? And how do we do it? Company is not in a position to upgrade, so we in the PrePress department are forced to try and make it work, and...
