    In house press: Versant 180, Versant 80, or c70

    Few shops want used digital presses partly because the big guys do not want to offer service plans for them or if they do the click charge is very high.

    In house press: Versant 180, Versant 80, or c70

    All digital presses will have issues that need support so you an expect needing to call them in or have skilled people who work for you who know the ins and outs of the machine to fix them... would not count on the latter. Content can be proofer through email, we always send PDF proofs before...

    In house press: Versant 180, Versant 80, or c70

    Seems you will need to invest in more then just a printer if you are going this route. When printing business cards how are you going to cut them? Are you going to be printing 8.5 x 11 flyers 1 up? That is expensive especially when you can print 2 up, but then again you need to finish and cut...

    CS6 and Apple OS

    Definitely not as robust as Adobe's software and not something I would use for live jobs personally. If I was looking for bang for your buck software for home use I would go with Affinity simply because there is no subscription and the software is feature rich and runs very fast.

    CS6 and Apple OS

    What issues is he having with his CC subscription? I have found it to be pretty stable, no less stable then pre-CC.

    CS6 and Apple OS

    You could look at the Affinity software, they have their own versions of Indesign = Publisher, Illustrator = Designer, and Photoshop = Photo. They are nice apps and cheap with one time purchase, no subscriptions. They also run very fast and are feature rich doing most things Adobe's software can do.

    CS6 and Apple OS

    Should work with all Mac OS's up to Catalina which will be coming out in September. Catalina will not run 32 bit apps, so Indesign CS6 is done. I think Photoshop CS6 was a 64 bit app and possibly Illustrator, but could be wrong on that.

    Command Workstation: Saving Tab Settings in Compose

    What I have done for this is put a blank PDF, 8.5 x 11 in CWS. I then use that as a slip sheet and set each tab to go after page 1. This allows me to print just tabs and archive them as well. You can save the the preset which will not save the file you have printed but all the settings. I had a...

    Command Workstation: Saving Tab Settings in Compose

    Can't you just save to archive in Command Workstation? I do not have anything as big as what you are doing but I do have to print some tabs now and then on their own. I saved a file I made for tabs and when I need it I just go to the archived file, adjust if needed and everything else is set.

    Command Workstation: Using a separate file for a common side

    yikes, you can tell how often I do these types of variable jobs, I completely forgot about this. Thanks for the reminder, going to make sure I remember this for next time.

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    If it is crooked it can rub against the side and not roll up properly. I always follow it down when pulling the pin out and make sure everything looks ok.

    Command Workstation: Using a separate file for a common side

    I had this same question a few months back and found no solution. Had to make my merged data 2 sided and go through that way unfortunately.

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    I have found the pull up banners we use to be reasonably forgiving. Did you use a template made for your hardware? I got templates for the different pull up stands we use and just follow them, never have an issue.

    Faster View in Acrobat

    Not sure what the private data is. When I edit a placed file in Indesign I edit it from the original program it was made, so I edit in Illustrator for .ai files and if it is just a PDF I was given I edit in Acrobat if it allows it.

    Faster View in Acrobat

    What can happen when placing an .ai file in InDesign? I have been doing that for years and never had an issue.

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    I use the 2 sided tape that comes with it and then for added protection I just take packing tape and run a strip over it. Never had any issues. I basically do what this guys does in this video with the exception of the top part, I just put the bar on the edge and let it clamp down.

    Digital Press for PhotoBooks and Image cards

    Being picky about the image quality I would take a job you would want to print and run some tests on the machines you are looking at. Bring in your own files, bring in your own stock and run them. The big guys always have great looking samples but I never trust those for regular day to day...

    Xerox C570 Metered Supplies Plan Expires soon

    I cannot see them bricking it because of that and the machine when bought new can be bought outright while having a service plan, so no way they are locking up a machine because you no longer have as service/supply plan. Seeing as you bought it used it is probably an automated alert that was put...

    Colour Perception Test

    I did it a second time taking a bit more time as I rushed my first go. I improved and got a 2. I now feel life has meaning and purpose again and I am a real somebody!
