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...

Like others have said I would not jump into a digital press without a service contract. There is always going to be something you will need and it is nice having support there to get you any part you need without you paying (on top of your contract) for it. I had a Versant 2100 and loved the...

Colour calibration and registration alignment have really been mostly automated these days, I remember the headaches of registration and consistent colour when I first got into digital. Now it is a dream in comparison! I am a big fan of the Versant 2100, had one for a number of years and it was...

They have to have some serious power behind them to do this on mass. I am sure there are tons of people playing with this every day and we are only in beta. Once this has wide release it will only go up from there. We are on the cusp of quantum computing so I would imagine this stuff would only...

There is no doubt it will get better. AI generation last year was even more horrifying. Will this eventually kill the stock image market and kill off photography save for personal photos for personal events? Why pay for a stock image when I can simply have AI make me a royalty free image of 2...

Adobe has restrictions on what it will generate. Violence, some weapons it seems like guns, nudity, actual people and I am sure there are more. Living creatures like you and I, as well as animals the AI is horrible at generating It can do somethings reasonably well, though I think the fact...

I have been playing around a lot with AI in Photoshop. It is pretty amazing at what it can do, especially for landscape images. The attached image has a magenta box in it. Inside that magenta box is the only real image, everything outside is AI generated. For fixes or needing more image for...

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...

If I had that on my older Versant 2100 the first thing I would look at would be the colour drums. Could try some other laser calibrations as well but don't think those being out would do anything like that. If remember there was also a cleaning brush that you could run through the drum area...

So how would you edit and remove this layer if Acrobat does not allow you to do it? What would you buy for the random problem that pops up less then once in a blue moon? I used other software but that is akin to using Illustrator. I used Affinity Designer. 1 click the layer was deleted.

I could have done that, but generally that just makes things worse, or makes it more difficult trying to explain something to them as they probably got it from some other source internally or whoever does their graphical work. I am still amazed that I cannot fix or even see this hidden layer in...

No clue on that, we don't print from Adobe or any other software we use, everything is saved as PDF and dropped into Apogee or the appropriate hot folder to get to where it is needing to get to.

+1 We had a Versant 2100 and I loved that press, still miss it today. We have a Konica C7090, it is a nice press but Versant was much more robust and flexible, printing everything with ease from envelopes to NCR and everything in between. The software setup is also much better then what we have...

I did not try flattening, not sure if that would actually help though if the Indigo is picking up the hidden layer and printing it even when it is turned off, I am going to test it out though and see if that does work. The layer is turned off in Acrobat and is set not to print. I would believe...

sorry missed your earlier message, yes the layer shows in Acrobat. I tried deleting in Acrobat but it does not let me remove layers.

yes it can be a risk, but sometimes you gotta figure things out and make them work.

We ended up printing it on our Konica press using Command Workstation which worked fine. The HP Indigo was picking up the hidden layer which is why we were looking for a way to remove it. I saw it in Acrobat but I could not delete it from there, even with it unchecked. It says the PDF was made...

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...

I think we have tried everything possible, even had one of their people come in who runs #10's on their 7090 and tried all her tricks with no consistent luck. I was spoiled with my old Xerox Versant, things were easy, fast and no need for special fusers.

We don't have the envelope fuser, the price for that is a bit crazy in my opinion, especially remembering the days before when fusers were user replaceable by simply pulling on a handle! The issue comes from the feeding so not sure the fuser would really make a difference. The air in tray 3 is...
