Apps like this are the future. Sketch and Coda are another example of the small guy making a much better app than the big dogs on a shoestring budget for 30% of the price. The big dogs (Microsoft, Adobe, etc.) are too big, too bureaucratic and don't have a willingness to start fresh. It's seems...

Basically, they're knives on the die with a shorter height that more or less perforate the glue flap(s) to allow the glue to "grab" the coated side of stock. There are various patterns that can be used and most CAD systems have a loaded pallete of them. PDF attached for reference is layered...

Have you considered putting "glue-assist" knives into the glue flap in the die ?

Filemaker is the platform and Onsite is a solution built upon the Filemaker platform. If your statement is intended to blanket all solutions built on the Filemaker platform it is uninformed and incorrect. That would be akin to saying the iPhone and iOS are crap because of one bad app. That said...

Yosemite uses HelveticaNeueDeskInterface to drive the GUI instead of the Lucida Grande used on all previous Mac OS X versions. Screwing around with Helvetica Neue or enabling other versions of the font will lead to serious system problems. However, you might be able to drop in something else in...

I concur. When I close a document I don't want a large window to stick around. Leonard I still owe you that document compare thing that I promised and I will try to get it accomplished today.

What OS and hardware are you running?

@MailGuru You're damn right. (ugh! that's a sweet Schwarzenegger gif below that doesn't embed properly - you'll have to click it to enjoy) My generation needs to suck it up and deal. I'm personally very glad to not to be fighting a war and a depression simultaneously like my grandparents did...

I think they're trying to unify iOS and MacOSX GUI which is not necessarily a bad idea. I hated the latest iOS refresh as well at first. I adapted to the Yosemite GUI well enough. It is not my favorite but definitely not my least favorite OS X GUI. I'm guessing Johnny Ive is the culprit behind...

You too are old sir. :p In all seriousness I'm not going to deny that I haven't had the same thought. A lot of GenZ (born after '00) stuff confuses the hell out of me and has convinced me that I am rapidly becoming a dinosaur. The following is totally, absolutely, and completely off topic...

If you are successful I'd like to review your script and see if I can build something with it akin to the Esko Dynamic Marks slug that I use. It currently does not support "discreet" color values (blends of spots, CMYK builds, etc.) that the swatches panel can recognize by using "add used...

I really appreciate your interest in feedback. I could be mistaken but I thought I had done this already. It did stop popping up after the last time. It's a great feature and great idea. I'll elaborate on this tomorrow in detail and come up with some real world test files. Understood. I am...

This is what makes "The Innovators" so informative. It really breaks it down for your average person from the beginnings in weaving to the modern software application. Here's a scarier one (oregonelive.com) that I remember reading about. I'm sure a lot people remember the James Kim story...

Why not sell this on a "Green" angle? ;)

While I absolutely agree with your central point I do not agree with your supportive arguments. The central problem with automation sedation is too much trust paired a lack of understanding of how things work and how to program (in the general sense). You did yourself and your customer a great...

Doh! This should be titled Yosemite instead of Mavericks. Request to mod... can you make the change?

I cannot stand the new default system typography "HelveticaNeueDeskInterface". Huge emphasis on HATE. Wish I knew who at Apple to direct my rage. Luckily, I am not the only one and someone found a work around. While the article uses some extreme and ugly substitutions I have been successful and...

At first use I like it a lot and it is a step forward. It's definitely faster and the UI is greatly improved. Congrats on a job well done. Feedback: The "mobile link" thing keeps popping up. I get it that the product manager or somebody really like this. But I won't be using it. Why won't it...

My experience from prepress has been that hyrbids are the absolute worst of both worlds. We have a CD102 setup with all of the fancy hybrid rollers, isolated press washes, etc. and we run spot colors with almost every job UV/conventional/hybrid depending on the job. The hybrid jobs are the ones...

I thought the same but was tired and forgot to respond. Don't take me as some kind of litho evangelist (I'm far from it). In a previous life I also once ran a digital floor (multiple Canon ImageRunners and Ricoh C900s being driven via Fiery). Other than VDP processing basically everything that...
