    Font management recommendations

    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.

    QuarkXPress 10

    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...

    Quark

    I didn't mind QuarkXPress 6 or 7. QuarkXpress 5 was AWFUL!! It really started eroding at version 8.

    Prepress Tips for Designers

    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...

    I think it is a variation of the "Camera-Ready" PDFs that I get from one of our salespeople.

    How long have ya been doin' this?

    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...

    Acrobat CC

    That statement confirms the common sentiment that Adobe has become the arrogant 800-lb Gorilla and that they have forgotten about customer service. This is the same mentality that doomed Quark back in the day.

    Humor wanted - even at my expense!

    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...

    What do you think of the new "Adobe Cloud?"

    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...

    Prepress Tips for Designers

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

    Vintage Industry Video

    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...
