I don't disagree. But they have their own issues avoiding going 'belly up.' This is one of the consequences of the type of commercial system we inhabit. Capitalism results in strong vs weak businesses. Sometimes that means large vs small. It ALWAYS means every business has to be prepared to...

We do that, regularly. Upfront rush charge. :)

The RIP does all the management if set up correctly. Learn what each piece of software should do and then manage them appropriately. A good book about color management options might help inform your decisions.

Agreed. In my opinion MAJOR vendors do not intentionally harm small shops. That is just a consequence of their need to maximize income. There are MULTIPLE vendors who offer single price options that may/will include hardware options that you can manage and purchase internally. Xitron Raster...

Any solution will cost money. Tell your 'boss' that the upfront cost will outweigh the cost of current issues. FIX YOUR SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE issues. Anything else is a bandaid and a waste of time and money. We saved ~40% labor costs and lowered reprints by MORE than that immediately when we...

Having done this and provided consulting of same I will say there are probably significant upfront costs and definite benefits to what you are attempting. First best step - hire/find someone who knows color systems and: 1. Speaks your native language (if possible) 2. Is located geographically...

Yup. Connected to the other problem. All permissions based. A good PC tech - on site - who takes the time to LOOK at what the problems are BEFORE they start mucking around SHOULD be able to figure out how things went wonky. YMMV.

How about creating a new user space and THEN try connecting? Old troubleshooting process. :-) Could be something locked with that user library space. YMMV.

Boot sequence of all Rampage boxes is crucial. Wait for each machine to come ready before booting the next. You should have the sequence written down somewhere. YMMV.

That could sometimes fix it.

The Super Stupidvisor to the rescue!

Yup. There could be any number of reasons, unfortunately. I remember a Samba v1 option on Macs that might have helped. Kodak had tough choices. The old license software/model was a real PITA. So they switched to a local/server model and tried to "do away with" the standalone version in favor...

Edit the host file to include the Prinergy server, then shutdown, restart, and cross your fingers. v8 had many connection issues. We would run for weeks and suddenly drop on a machine. YMMV

Wow.

Used their product(s) with a Mitsubishi. All was good. Scanner company said "Can't use with Windows 10 - must buy a new scanner." CMYK got it to work no problem. Saved us ~10k. YMMV

Dov - I believe that Adobe has done the best they can to be sure the images they use to train are not protected. hmmmm. And the licensing they offer - similar to cable company package deals - does allow them to maintain their product(s). I disagree with the value proposition they provide with...

Oh man. A Fiery bug!

Fiery Command Workstation needs the Fiery on the Local network to operate correctly. Hard Learned Caveats - IF the Fiery doesn't 'see' the printer: 1. Shut down Fiery and Printer. 2. Disconnect Printer and Fiery from the network and each other - yes note the correct ports for each cable and...

Agreed. My snark is: If "the metric" (VISUAL-ONLY ID SAMPLES) is construed as subjective then only someone with the ability and knowledge to properly interpret "the metric" is a valued employee. Measure measure measure. "But why would I pay more for accuracy and quality by a specific employee if...

But, but . . . that would mean it's trade-craft - not a button-push result! LOL The bean counters will NOT be happy.
