First, I am a ma'am, not a sir. LOL And second, while I agree with most of what you say, I also agree with MailGuru. It's very typical of GenX to blame all the gens before it. But one has to learn that blaming gets you nowhere. Be the change. Make the world (or at least your world) a better...

THank you Stephen!

This is most helpful. I was always told to use the eyedropper tool that lies under the "Inspector" category in Acrobat. Can you tell me where to find the "ink coverage" and "basic object" options? (So sorry, I'm very green when it comes to prepress, obviously LOL.)

If I remember correctly, it was both. But I could be mistaken. And, normally I always just use Acrobat, but this particular client has been known to have messed up files, so I like, for myself, to have a second check. I don't save the Illy file, I just open it and check things out. Occasionally...

How do I attach the file...I'll see if I can still find it. It may have been deleted but I'll look.

Pitstop Inspector that was within Acrobat?? Sorry I'm not sure how to answer that one lol. I always open in Illy to add or adjust crop marks and do one final color check.

Recently, I had a huge run of posters come in with supplied art. I ran it through Pitstop Inspector as usual, which told me the colors were CMYK. I also opened it in Illy which said CMYK mode. SO I hit print. It printed horribly and I knew right away that it was RGB. I opened it in Photoshop and...

bahahahahaha!

I just asked your question word for word to my paint guy. Here's what he says: It shoots the color and calculates all the color metamarisms and gives us a formula. I'd say 65% of the time, it's so close to bang on, the rest of the time it gets me close enough that I can tinker with it to make...

Don't get me wrong...things do sometimes go sideways lol. But these machines are crazy expensive and incredibly powerful. We do have staff monitoring them but for the most part, they don't really need to be there lol

I have also had very good experiences with China and their products. I prefer to spend more to shop local, but it budget is an issue, there's no harm in going overseas.

I work for a company that prints for one of these major "Vistaprint"-like corporations. We're the only printer for all of Western Canada for them. We receive all the jobs on (for example) Monday at midnight that have to be shipped Tuesday. Our contract states 24 hours to produce and ship. So Our...

InstaBox for the future.

That's why printhouses have printing guidelines. Most of them will have them right on their websites. We send our guidelines to the client as soon as we know they'll be providing art. We have an Acrobat preflight and if supplied art doesn't pass the preflight, we reject it and send it back with...

I would say that reading through a long doc like that to find one thing super sucks., But they are in business too and must understand that your time is worth something. I would draw up a "New contract" stating that its $X for any editing/art time. Make it a standard for all customers. And don't...

kk. thank you!

I get that, I'm just saying obviously rasterizing is a given, but converting to RGB seems redundant and an unnecessary step. Obviously the other printer won't be able to work with the raster image, and let's say even if they could, converting a raster image to CMYK is pretty easy. I've worked in...
