When I am quoting jobs I am adding in a part about stock issues and that they need to be flexible on the stock they want if their deadlines are going to be met. Never thought I would see the day when paper was a difficult thing to get!

Personally all I need is the pantone library to select a colour when setting up 1 or 2 colour jobs. Does anyone know anything about the subscription schemes they have going on now? Will Pantone Connect Basic give me the C and U pantone library to use in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop?

I don't even know what to say about this. We use pantones regularly here for all our 1 and 2 colour work, sometimes even 3 colour on our QM presses. Not even sure what this means or how this will effect us. What will happen with files that have colours that are pantones? Will Indesign just not...

I have an Epson 9900 at home and Fiery XF 6.2. I have not needed to setup a new client in years... till now. I am stuck at the password to connect with a new client. It is not saved in my keychain on any of my Macs. Does anyone know what the default password is or how I can go about finding or...

Not free but I think cheap considering the time saved in putting it together yourself. https://www.diecuttemplates.com

You could also connect with Xerox themselves, they do (at least here in Canada) sell used machines as well with service contracts. As others have said, I would not go with a digital press without a service contract. Tons of little things can go and wrong and they will. The service contract gets...

That was going to be my attempt if I did not get any other options. I thought there must be something to get in there easily if the machine is powered down but could not find anything.

I have an Epson 9900 at home for personal use. Left over equipment from our family business when we merged with another company. I was going to use some aftermarket inks to keep the price down as it really just makes posters and cards for nephews and nieces and family prints every now and then...

No, I am still on the original inks and have about 5 colours still new in the box. At the moment I need to get Orange and then I am good for a while I think. Are you talking about flashing the ships and refilling the Epson cartridges themselves? Having never used anything but Epson inks, how...

I have an Epson 9900 I took home with me when our family business merged with a larger print shop. I don't do a whole lot with it other then print some posters for nieces and nephews birthdays. Looking to save some money on inks as the Epson branded stuff is a pretty penny especially when there...

I think we are transitioning away from offset, only a matter of time. With some recent press issues I have outsourced a few jobs to a trade printer and their cost was cheaper than my production cost. I make more money sending it out then doing it in-house. Of course I lose the control, but I am...

I have been active in the Affinity forums and that is definitely the case. If the fonts are loaded on your computer there is no issue, at least with the fonts. No option at the moment for placing a file and not having it editable at the moment and does not seem to be something they are working...

True, guess I just assumed most people in print would have a CC subscription.

Why can't you do that directly in Acrobat Pro? There is an option to combine multiple Pdf's and make it into one. Or am I missing something here?

I always dreaded Mac OS updates as in many cases it would lead to print driver issues. Over the years moved away from directly printing from apps and use PDF's to drop in a RIP. Have to say it has made my life much simpler.

We bought a new Komori Spica 29P when it was first released. I remember them checking and inspecting everything before the press even arrived. We had to do some work to the concrete floor because of their inspection. They did not just show up and drop it off. Really surprised at this though I am...

Have you looked at imposition studio? It is pretty versatile, you can save hot folders to just drop in PDF's (in the right template) and have it imposed. Not sure what nested templates are, but might be worth looking at and not all that expensive.

Are you using Command Workstation? If so under media there is a slip sheet option. You select it, select the tray your slip sheets are coming from as well as the size.

Pretty sure you are safe if you are just printing a photo/poster for someone who took the picture. If this was an issue no one would have been developing photos they took at places like Disney over the years. I think the issue is when you use it to make money or advertising your own business.

I do think you will be happy with the Versant, it is a solid machine. I print #10 envelopes on our 2100 and it handles them perfectly, rarely jams and I mean RARELY. I run 5000 + and never have a stop.
