We have been fighting with an issue for a long time and have yet to find an answer. We have 2 Epsons being run through Caldera. Latest updates. I don't run it so not knowledgable on Caldera at all but thought I would reach out to see if anyone has had this issue. We have done various tests to...

Anyone have experience with Duplo booklet makers? We are specifically looking at DPM-700 so we can do landscape booklets. If the 350 had an add-on to allow for that we would probably look at that model. Has Duplo booklet makers been reliable and solid work horses or what are common...

We have a KM 12000 right now and have a lot of down time with it. Whenever a colour drum needs to be changed we lose about half a day. That is not all the replacement it includes the techs travel time, but that still means we are down. I ran Xerox for years before and colour drums were always...

We have a new Konica 12000 with just about every finishing add on module you can get. We have had it for maybe 4 months now. Trying to get my operators to get used to doing daily calibration. When I was running digital I had a Versant 2100 and would use Command Workstation for colour...

Our company got out of print a year and a bit ago and we have just gotten back into the game. So we have setup with all new equipment. I would like to automate as much cutting and finishing as possible so am thinking of a slitter that does creasing and perfing. Who makes the "ultimate" for this...

Our business has shifted out of traditional printing to wide format. What we use now works ok for quoting but is really made for offset/digital so it could do a lot of things better for wide format. Any recommendations for software for quoting wide format?

Our shop has made a big shift and we are focusing on wide format, our print division we merged with another company. So I am in somewhat new waters with wide format, I have done some wide format before, but not to the extent we do now. We have a SwissQ flatbed. Talking to our operators they say...

Had a client doing a rebranding and they have a bunch of Pantone P colours. I have never seen these before. do these translate to specific Pantone U or C colours for 2 and 3 colour prints? Or is this supposed to be some CMYK Pantone?

They have switched us all over to PC here at work, of course no one is all that thrilled about it in prepress. We have the latest updates of Adobe CC and are using an ancient version of Apogee to basically send files to our Indigo as well as to make plates on our AGFA (rebranded Screen CTP). We...

We have a CP Bourg BM-e Booklet Maker E-Series TR. The touch screen is freezing up randomly and we keep holding our breath till we eventually get it working again. This is going to eventually die so we need to find a part for it. Does anyone know anywhere that sells used parts, specifical the...

I have a PDF from a client. Everything looks fine till it is printed out on our Indigo. There is artwork that shows up. I tried ripping apart the PDF in illustrator with no luck. On a whim I thought I would try opening it with Affinity Designer and see what I can see. In Affinity it shows a...

Just wondering if anyone has the Windows installer for Pantone Color Manager? I have a couple of licenses and this would save needing the Pantone Connect subscription for a little while. I don't need hacked software, just a legit installer for Windows if anyone has one available. I have been...

We have an HP Indigo 7. Every now and then when sending a file over, I will set the file up and move it to the held que. On the Indigo itself the operator will see a lock symbol beside the file. He can print it but make no adjustments to quantity or anything else. I sent 2 posters with identical...

I used to have a Versant 2100. It was a great press for me and #10 envelopes ran amazingly well, both regular and offset window envelopes. Never jammed, great colour and registration. Since having the Versant 2100 my family business has merged with a larger company and none of our equipment came...

We have a new C7090 press, have had some new machine birthing pains that are getting sorted by techs as they come up. One big issue is printing #10 envelopes. They just will not feed through. They stop before they can exit tray 3. Or they rip and go through. Tech was in and in the end their...

We have a Xante Enpress we use for full colour envelopes. It is out of warranty and trying to get service to reply in a timely matter is a little frustrating. Google has only bought up a Ricoh printer with the same error code, I did try to do what they said with no luck. Has anyone encountered...

Not sure if I am in the right section for this but I will ask anyways. I have a client whose current provider will no longer do the smaller quantities they print for a deck stain applicator. Flat it is 6 x 10, gets folded and wrapped around a foam piece that they are selling. The outside is...

I am looking for an old preps 4.2 installer, or installer plus update files to get to 4.2. We have still run this ancient version here in an old version of Apogee. They want to migrate the Apogee server to a new one. As it gets light use management is not interested in buying newer versions at...

Every now and then I am getting a box to create, sometimes it is straightforward, other times it can be complex (for me at least). We don't do enough of it to warrant the higher price tag I have seen from Esko. I was wondering is there any software that makes the process simpler without breaking...

I am working on a quote for some diplomas and was asked by the client about archivable ink. I don't think our digital presses have this in the toner/ink used, trying to find answers. We run an HP Indigo 7R and a Kodak Express 3900. Does anyone know any details regarding the toners and their...
