    Offset to Flexo

    Hello all. After many, many years in offset printing prepress, I have made the move to flexo. I think I will pick it up just fine, but I might be relying on you geniuses here @ PP for some pointers!

    Canada hits back at U.S. with dollar-for-dollar tariffs

    I know that I will get flamed for this... (I am a US citizen) Trudeau is a fantastic leader. Canada is a great country. Honestly, Canada is what the United States of America could be. But we are moving in the wrong direction. I used to live in the state of Montana so I would frequently travel...

    Two Sided Proofing

    The documentation is OK at best. A lot of the terms and methodology seem counter-intuitive. But you will get the hang of it over time! It might also be that the tech that installed our system was new and only had a few other installation under his belt.

    Two Sided Proofing

    We have had the ImpoProof with the two Canon iPF8400S printers for about 3 years now. It replaced a PreProofer with 2 EPSON 9880 printers that we have had for about 10 years. Before that we had a HP DesignJet with a TechSage SpinJet accessory. The ImpoProof has the best back-up by far, but also...

    This is why we're doomed

    Damn... I guess that 6 hours of postal training yesterday wore me out more than I thought.

    This is why we're doomed

    Actually most ink manufactured today is. Edamame is an immature soybean in the pod. Virtually all offset inks are soy-based.

    Litho prepress color management question

    ORIS is not Fuji's. ORIS is a product of a company called CGS. Fuji sells both ORIS and GMG. I have used EPSON printers with both RIPs and both were re-sold by Fuji. It has been over 6 years since I have last used GMG (with an EPSON 9800 and an offline spectro). But at the time, I liked the...

    Adobe CC Price Increase & Feedback

    I received the same email. It stated that when my contract renews in August it will go up to $79.99/mo. Up from $69.99/mo. I have Creative Cloud for teams. I have 9 seats. That means I will be paying $1,080 more per year.

    You know you're old when . . .

    Just two days ago I learned that a widely accepted term for # is "octothorpe". There is no known usage before it was adopted by Bell Labs in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

    PREPS 7 Creep with crossover

    What is the weight of the paper it will be printing on? Since they are only 16-page signatures, I wouldn't worry about creep unless it is higher than 100# book weight.

    Printing Industry Future

    Packaging will be the mainstay of print. Brochures, catalogs, books, etc. will go digital, but everything that we purchase needs to come in a package.

    PitStop Pro 2017 Update

    I am not sure when it was released but PitStop Pro 2017 Update 1 is available. One thing I did notice is that when you use the Select Object tool, the frame of the object becomes highlighted as it did in the past.
