Okay. Here is the meat of it in my mind. The questions you need to ask to describe the product needed are not linear to the final product - REALLY - they just seem that way because WE categorize the products as part of the process but they are really each just one-offs because the definition IS...

Well I have an example at hand of industry shifting to new tech via a good friend. Remember the old wax packaged trading cards with a piece of bubblegum? I do. Everything is plastic wrapped now. So my friend started to build a business (20 years ago) re-creating wax wrapped cards and spent YEARS...

Usually referred to as: 'Rapid DisAssembly' or 'Unscheduled Rapid DisAssembly' Or in shorthand 'RDis' or 'URDis' which lends itself to ridiculous slang - and I believe some have speculated this is where the name 'Tardis' originated as in 'Timely Rapid Disassembly'.

Which is why we need to look verrrry closely at our contracts and inspect any pricing changes during the contracted period w/regards to said contract. If you have an accountant or staff member who handles finances THEY should know what the contract stipulates and THEY can catch the errors...

WD-40 is NOT LUBRICANT. It was created as a Water Displacement liquid for the inside of rocket fuel chambers. Any lubrication that happens evaporates soon after use. Sure - it stops the squeak until it wears/evaporates and then it allows much more wear to occur before you notice the squeak again...

This means the license portion is not working. You have to contact Kodak. Prinergy was notorious for this until they put the licensing server ON the server and then you had no more perpetual license. YMMV.

One other note. Call me a cynic BUT we all (most?) have recently seen that vendors of most stripes are consumed with the bottom line, which isn't a bad thing IF they still give two hoots about their customers which has been somewhat problematic (lol). Leading to the current topic. I will say...

Sounds like the 'vendor' is happy with their current rate of return on the product OR they know something you don't about future costs if they are willing to lock in 'better' numbers. Be blunt. Ask 'Why?' Also - I am assuming you've got your compare / contrast spreadsheet set up already for...

Wow - this brought back a self-study period I used to study Socrates and Plato in High School. You thought your BLOG had a chance? Almost 2,500 years ago Socrates believed that you could not truly convince someone to do something good unless they rationally understood why it was the right and...

Except for those stubborn customers who continue to use transparency blend set to 0% so that once it's flattened - POOF ! the offending item is gone.

Which is why I asked. Way too complex an issue for the little information posted when you are attempting to diagnose a RIP issue. Canon: The Canon PRISMAsync print server is powered by the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE), not the Harlequin RIP. It utilizes Adobe's core technology for processing...

I wont have specifics for the KM1 BUT including RIP software info for both the Canon and the KM1 could help with specifics for responses. Files setup SHOULD be the same. YMMV.

And all Pantone colors specified as CMYK? And no transparent RGB White which disappears when printing? And no 'Comments' or 'Forms' entries visible in Acrobat turning invisible when printing? (Remember when we heard 'Portable Document Format will solve all printing compatibility problems.'?)

And how is this any DIFFERENT than any other app's use of PANTONE?

Ooooh. Me = No Adobe = fighting constant changes to their apps which hamper interactivity which they don't acknowledge. Aaaaargh. There are VERY GOOD - even VERY GOOD FREE - alternatives for vector work / prepress. Top down analysis - I used to do this for a living switching people from...

Looks custom built. The valves on side frame would be in a cabinet otherwise, probably. So just think about how YOU would design something - with the same components. YMMV

I can remember when local print shops would buy ANY local equipment just to keep competitors from getting started in business with used equipment. Their worst nightmare was a guy in his garage charging cost.

And this is the kind of information that should be at the front of ANY operator manual. LOL. So where in the 'manuals' did you find this information? Or did you just figure it out on your own? We were never told to do a 'Daily Warm-up' - they just asked if we 'calibrated'.

We almost had to pay extra (1 year in lease) until we noted that we were facing consistent issues with reliable service. Then they agreed to a one day training. Yes the training and documentation helped going forward. Just knowing more about regular 'service' procedures that solve NORMAL...

Dumb implies 'lack of intelligence' and that typically is not true - lack of relevant experience is way more likely. I like to say 'LA'. as in Low Awareness. Most people in most circumstances are LA - some few at some few moments are HA (Highly Aware). This way I can admit to occasionally...
