Is anyone here running an Indigo and using EPM (Enhanced Productivity Mode)? Is it worth it? What are the pros and cons?

I wouldn't even try... That model Xerox is only rated up to 110 lb. cover.

I went to RAMPAGE's website this afternoon and was surprised by the message I saw, it is below. Does anyone have anymore details about this? Is the RAMPAGE workflow going to continue being developed? What about Fuji's XMF workflow that they been developing...

Does anyone have working experience with the hp Indigo Shooter from RAMPAGE? What do you like about it? What DON'T you like about it? We have both offset presses and Indigo presses and currently use RAMPAGE for our offset workflow. Any and all comments would be appreciated!

Since moving from OS 9 to OS X years ago, I've found the most reliable way to manage fonts is by manually managing them in the user>library>fonts directory.

Has anybody taken the plunge yet? Have any of your customers supplied files from QXP 10? I know that I should purchase at least one copy, but I can count on my fingers how many QXP 9 files I've received since it was released 2.5 years ago. I have 12 users using Adobe Creative Suite, everyday...

Please don't think that you are helping us by building your documents in printers spreads!!! We are re-printing a job today that the customer supplied in printers spreads. Unfortunately there were no page numbers, crossovers or other clues to tell us that it was not built in readers spreads. We...

My first job was working at a bar-b-que restaurant when I was 15. After 3 months I was tired of coming home smelling like wood smoke. My dad was the prepress manager for the local newspaper. I BEGGED him for a job. He hired me under the table to punch all the new plated for our brand new Goss...

What networking protocol are you using to connect? AFP, SMB or ??

So today one of my staff was sent this email today... and I thought I had heard it all! "Charlie/Dom – I think Lisa is on vacation this week. I have a flyer that we did for my son’s school. It’s in PDF format, but I think Charlie’s computer has the ability to un-PDF things. Let me work on...

Like most people, I am skeptical of the subscription model that Adobe is moving to. In the recent past, Adobe has updated the Creative Suite about once a year. I upgraded 10 seats to CS6 Design Standard 14 months ago for $269.17 per seat. I just spoke to Adobe last Friday. To get "Creative Cloud...

You spent all that time in Photoshop retouching and compositing an image. Save it as a TIF or PSD, not a JPG.

Because the bun makers figure that you will drop at least 2 of the dogs into the coals...

Why is it that the pro-bono or donated jobs are the most difficult customers?

Wow Gordo! Thank you so much! I've followed your posts here on PrintPlanet for quite some time and I appreciate the knowledge that you share. -Thom

Hi All. Does anyone have access to any videos that may show prepress production before the advent of desktop publishing? I have a class coming in for a tour in a few weeks. I'd like to be able to show them how this was all done pre-comuter days. Any suggestions as to where to find such videos...
