    Adobe Performance...

    @chriscozi, what's your experience with exporting a PDF of files created in Affinity? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Affinity uses GhostScript for making a PDF? I don't have much experience with GS. How well does Affinity export PDF/X-1a (especially where spot colors are present) and...

    export imp to jdf Post-Pres

    I did nothing special other than just opening the JDF file. As for the processing characteristics, I am not sure how to answer this question as I am not all that familiar with CompuCut. Can you give me some examples of the processing characteristics you're looking for?

    Apogee prepress client for mac

    Unfortunately, there is no 64bit version of the Apogee client for Mac. You'll either need to switch to Windows or try installing a program like VMware Fusion or Parallels and install an older Mac OS X guest OS (Mojave is the last version of OS X that supports 32bit apps). pd

    Need Help Adding Quicksetter Printer to Mac

    Here's a thought: if the "non-working" iMac is like the other two in every way as you say, could you clone the hard drive from one of the "working" iMac's to the "non-working" one? After cloning, you would just need to change the IP and computer name so they don't conflict. If cloning is an...

    Running Windows on an M1 Mac?

    Pauly, Yes, it would be easier but the point of trying to run Windows on a Mac (as we have done for 10 years) is so that we don't have to purchase additional computers (at about $600 a pop (x6 in my case)). If, in the end, Windows (or other guest OS's) can no longer be run on a Mac, then it is...

    Basic Imposition Software

    You mentioned you're a Mac user but if using Windows-only software is an option, Montax Imposer might be worth a look see. For about $400, you can get all of its imposition features plus the convenience of hot folder automation. Best regards, pd

    RESOLVED- Xerox 700i Digital Color Press- Poor print quality

    If you have high humidity, you will absolutely get faded prints. I had this exact same issue with a toner-based office copier in my department. The humidity was well over 70% and the culprit was something with the roof AC unit for my department. If you can put in a dehumidifier, that is your...

    We cant get solid film

    I wonder if perhaps you might have a laser problem. If it were the chemistry, it seems like you would be see the fading issue from start to finish but with the image starting out dark and then fading, it may worth looking at the laser optics. Best regards, pd
