Does anyone have experience with the PB 503 perfect binding unit available on the Konica Minolta AccurioPress and BizHub? It seems that it is a bit finicky when it comes to the size of a pre-printed covers and the main pages of the document. We were able to bind a document but we can't seem to...

I stress that my students should understand spot colors when working with Esko's DeskPack. I gave an assignment to create a pizza box with 3 specific colors. When I noticed my student using an additional color I stated that they can simulate the additional color with a tint of one of the three...

I came across a Heidelberg KSBA Cylinder 18" X 22 1/2" that sounded like it might be available for a reasonable price. It may need a bit of work but I believe it is good shape. As I understand this is actually a two color letterpress? Would this be suitable for a teaching situation? The size...

Not sure where to post this but Color Management seemed the most logical. I have a biologist friend that is doing research on the change of color of crab spiders measured from digital color images opened within Photoshop. I had suggested to use the RAW file format to eliminate the color...

When using the package function within InDesign I had something happen that I couldn't explain. I had a student that used the drag and drop technique, clicking on an ai. file from Illustrator and dragging it into InDesign. When the InDesign file was packaged, the vector file wasn't saved but...

I am part of an educational graphic communication program that teaches the lithographic, screen and flexo printing processes. For screen printing we use a Ink Jet printer with all 8 heads printing black onto film for digital positives. The software Accurip is specific to screen printing so it...

As a faculty member at a university, we have students taking our graphic communications courses from all over campus, many with backgrounds in web. Since we stress the area of print, I have pushed the following philosophy on file formats. For raster images: .jpg is acceptable, .tiff is better...

Greetings: As the president elect of the International Graphic Art Education Association, I would like to take a moment and introduce folks to our organization. IGAEA was started in the early 1920s, when teachers of the United Typothetae School of Print in Indianapolis got together to share...

Does anyone know how to eliminate the embedded requirement for the Darwin plug-in within InDesign. We have files that students have created on machines that use Darwin. When those same files are opened on other machines, we get a message that states that "the Darwin plug-in is missing, do you...
