    What difference does 1mm make on the length of a Web Plate?

    It may not be so much the press, but it could be the plate punch that is a tight fit for anything over the spec'd size. We use one here that punches and bends the plates for our web presses. Our web guys bitch incessantly if the plates are too big.

    increase the line screen to something higher (175, 200, or 250) to get more dots in the stroke and/or change the angle to run parallel to the stroke if possible. not much you can do with a screened stroke that thin.

    Fluorescent Pink Inkjet Ink

    Any of you fine people have any info for the above? I have only found a couple of manufacturers that have fluorescent pink, one is for an Epson 4880. Are there any others (inkjets and inks)? and no, vivid magenta won't do.

    pitstop preflight

    In Pitstop you can take the canned ones and add or take away settings so you can make it your own. That's what I did. Have you tried the built in profiles? What part do you not trust?

    Old school

    We used a Brisque in front of our Lotem 800 up until a few months back when a power outage took it down for good. I know it can be done, but, like you, it's been a while since it was set-up so I don't remember where we had it set at. I can't find out now that it is fried. Maybe if you know a...

    1D barcodes for Web URL's

    thanks graficworx, but I know how they work. My question is specific to 1D codes and how they can be directed/redirected to a web url. I just haven't seen one myself and was doing research for someone that has seen one but can't seem to "show me" an example. The closest I have come across is the...

    1D barcodes for Web URL's

    yeah, I know about the 2D or QR codes, but I was asked to find out about the 1D codes. Someone here said they saw one (might have been a Coke product), that if you scanned the UPC code on the can, it would take you to the Coke web site. I'm not believing it until I see an actual code in action...

    Barcode Software Recommendations

    What OS are you looking to support? What types of barcodes? QR? UPC?, etc. I've been using Bar Code Pro for years. Used to use it in OS9 but got the upgrade and it runs in OS 10.4 very nicely. It doesn't do QR codes, but I can get those done on the web or at our mailhouse, so it's no biggie for me.

    print chopped up when printed Indesign

    what file format is the picture and what version of Indesign? It may be a slightly corrupted image/pref file, you may want to try to open the file in Photoshop and "save as", sometimes that will do wonders.

    Snow Leopard only loads fonts after rebooting

    As long as you keep it clean and you are the only one putting fonts in there, you should be ok. With us, we have more than one operator and there are some people that forget to take them out, and then when someone else loads in more, then the fun starts.

    for the wireframe view, go to the Plugins menu, drag down to Enfocus View Modes, and over to wirefreame. Or, click on the wireframe icon in your toolbar (a box with an X in it). for the Hide Selection Tool, it's the same menu. Once you make a selection, go to the Plugins menu, drag down to Hide...

    Import a color into Illustrator

    I would think you could just pick a spot color that is close to what you want, give it your unique name (doesn't have to be an exact color match, you just need the name to match what's on your RIP). When when the file is sent to your RIP, it will pick up the LUT for that color that you have...
