I think this question needs to be taken seriously. In the meantime here are some familiar songs you might like to consider: Oh Pleasing Day Plesant Birthday To Me If It Makes You Pleased Plesant Christmas (War Is Over) Get Plesant I Could Be Pleasing Shiny Plesant People

I have an old MacBook Pro in the office that runs CS3. (I hate to throw the old girl away). Give me a list of colours and I'll give you a legacy convertion. Maybe even export the old library as .ase

Well... We spent three weeks trying to see if we could produce a CMYK plus two specials job out of just two inks. This was ten years ago so at the time we had no spectral colour information to help us. We knew we were flogging a dead horse but we had to try to get it to work. Guess what...

We had a sales woman who gave a two colour price for a six colour job. We had to just swallow it. It was a huge print run. Maybe your rival just got the sums wrong.

Hello Steve, Good news. You already have the solution. It's a bit old fashioned but it's paid for. If you are printing your job on a HP Indio Press then forget PPML and move to JLYT (the native language of the Indigo). You keep all your current SmartStream files and rules, just create a Rich...

Hi Pd, Sadly no. The app merely triggers the installed application to do something. You can try to host the hot folder on a shared folder so that anyone can drop a file and pick up the result but that can be difficult to set up and you might need to dedicate a mac to the process. If your...

Hello Linda, Adobe bridge is the application to synchronise all your colour management settings in creative cloud. So, use one machine to set up all the settings you want. Then export those settings as a file and then import those settings to all the other machines. That should make your...

Hello PricelineNegotiator, Yes. Sorry about that. The thing is, on my Mac, that option is not available. I've attached a screen shot of what I get. So I might get that option in another menu. Qbot wants to save an AI as a PDF. In your screen shot Your saving an AI as an AI. So how does your...

Hello, I think you might be able to script something in java with acrobat but i think you just need to save the preflight as a droplet.app. If you use a Mac you can easily use automator to create a folder action (hot folder) and drop your files there. You can make custom preflights with...

No problem. I think you have the option to use either layers of colour swatches. What ever works best for you. I believe the settings for each tool are set using the panel on the table. (Speed, offest, pressure etc). The sales guy I saw said keep a note pad nearby and jot down the settings for...

Hello Stickman, I know a little about the Mimaki CFL-605RT. I nearly bought one a year ago. Mimaki make a plug in for illustrator. You put your cuts on one layer and your creases on another layer. From there you send it to the table. Have a good look around the Mimaki website for software.

Were there a few commas in the middle of fields? Or quote marks that were not escaped. I've seen that do weird stuff with csv and HP Smart Stream. Text Wrangler is a great app for comparing two text files and finding the differences. It's notepad+ for Macs. Lots of great features for handling...

Hello stickman, Are you able to draw a basic shape in illustrator and send it to the cutting table ? Just need to understand if you are having trouble getting the table to work or do you just need some illustrator files to experiment with.

Well... i had the same problem. This is how i remember it.... L is easy. That's lightness. ​​​​​​a is for apples, which are red and green b is for blue and also for bananas which are yellow But i also printed out a few charts and keep them where i can see them. I also have the excellent...

Hello, If your Ai File has been saved as Illustrator default then a quick workaround is to duplicate the file and rename the copy as .PDF Of course you are just pushing the problem on to the next guy so the responsible thing to do is fix it.

Hello Johu, I thought it was to unify the subtle differences in calculations within software/firmware of the devices .... Anyway this is what X-rite say about it. - Making Color Measurement History Back in 2006 when X-Rite and GretagMacbeth joined forces, it became apparent that the...

Urrrrghhh..... Sounds horrendous. I'm away from my mac right now but it might be possible to script a solution in photoshop or script a solution in Indesign to speed up the importing. I guess you tried importing and photoshop file into acrobat to see if it respects the layers in the resulting pdf?

Hello, That is a tough one. Here in the UK it is illegal to have goods on general sale with a barcode smaller that 80‰ so you need to be sure that you are not breaking local laws. That said if Walmart (Asda in the UK) make a product only for their own stores then no one will ever...

Hello Forrest, Now that surprises me. I would expect a 9 colour printer to have a RGB profile. I am out of my comfort zone now as my proofer is just CMYK. Did you get the option in I Profiler to have CMYK+4 inks? You have to choose Advanced options over the Basic ones. I'm not sure if that...

Hello Forrest, Did I Profiler tell you the Epson was an RGB printer or a CMYK printer? Epson printers are often RGB and then the RIP decides how to use the four inks.... Or twelve inks etc
