I do as Lukas suggested. Make a "folding dummy" (google it) using the same number of sheets of paper as you have webs. Mark the leading edge and fold the sheets as the press or folder would and mark the pages with numbers. When unfolded you will have which pages fall on which flat. Make your...

I don't understand the question at all. Is it to do with numbering Preps templates? By the way, Lukas, in web printing if you have two or three webs that is what happens. They "stack" or come together at the end of the web and then fold together, so the numbering is completely different from...

Converting to smartmark seems to have solved the issue. Thanks.

My dad was the master of sarcasm- You break a window playing baseball and he says "That's okay. It'll grow back"

I know this is simple, but I am brain dead from an intense week. Template has color bar running across center of sheet with a built in "white area" behind. There are fold marks placed on top of color bar. I need the color bar to knock out (print on top of bleed page elements), but the fold marks...

Just to add a bit to the general rant: I get email from customer- "The changes to my job are on our FTP site." signed John Smith. No company name, no FTP addy and I am supposed to know who John Smith is and which of his jobs the changes go with??? CSR says didn't you get the email?

When you going to grow up and be somebody!? Never going to make any money in that damn printing business!!

Another vote here for VirtualBox. I've been running Winders 7 beta on my Intel iMac with no problems. Stay away from emulators.

Guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do... and while extremely drunk- Hey, watch what I can do!

How? What did you have to do/ change, please.

The EPS mark is used in Preps and PDF version swapped and embedded at print/ save to file and when previewed in the job. Think Joe is right.

Adobe CS, Quark, Apple script editor, Fetch, Acrobat Pro with Pitstop, Preps and a good RIP/ Trap engine. We are about 85% PDF workflow currently.

I simply can not see how anyone can do decent prepress without Acrobat Pro and Pitstop plug-in. Absolutely essential to my day to day workflow.

I have been in this business for 30 years. I've seen prepress go from stat cameras, film, light tables, highly skilled 4 color journeyman strippers to CTP, so my skills have had to change over the years. The future is automation. You love printing and want to stay in this crazy business then you...

Annoying true, but Preps (at least any I have used on Mac) has always done that. I think it has to do with previewing the eps file. If I need to actually see what the marks are going to print like I open the template in a Preps job and preview.

Do the marks show up when you place that template in a Preps job and preview the signature?

The industry standard is .125 inch.

Strictly PDF - PDF Al, so point taken.

I must be doing something right (or wrong) because I never get this on shingled jobs in Preps 5.3.2 on Mac 10.4.11.

...because, say, you use the word cum instead of come it could really mislead the person on the other end!
