    Is Kodak paying attention?

    Nope, not at all. Their website was always borked and tough to navigate even back when it was eCentral.

    Resizing PDF or Word Document

    Do yourself a favor and don't be changing the document layout in Word, unless your customer is willing to pay for the time it takes to reformat the entire document. Just export as a PDF at the size it was created and do your scaling from there. You can always re-fry the PDF by printing to PDF...

    Want to sell your printing company?

    Unless your company is part of the Taylor Corp, you're in for a rough ride because they just swallowed up Standard Register. Pretty ballsy post, or stupid, nonetheless.

    Paper cuts

    Learned this today via Reddit... Paper cuts are more painful because they are so small, the blood can't coagulate enough to block the pain receptors, thus leaving nerve vessels exposed for days. The bleaching compounds also help exasperate the condition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_cut

    Old PP or New PP - Weigh In All

    My only issue is the font. It looks as though it's condensed and a little more difficult to read longer posts ...or maybe I'm just getting old. :/

    How We Can Enchance Knowledge

    Well, there are banner ads. Only Gordo knows that info. Nevertheless, it consolidated specific industry related info into a searchable format I've never gotten from any textbook, and I appreciate it.

    That's a negatory, unless it's only my IP that's showing up in the logs. I reference it quite a bit. Check your inbox, bro. Thanks for sharing!

    ELI5: Why are CMYK conversions different using Pantones new Lab colors

    Gordo, just a follow up question; I've heard this from you guys many times before, but why would Pantone change the values over time? From what I understand, CIE Lab basically covers the entire color spectrum the human eye can see and is the most accurate perceptual representation of color. If...

    Procedural question regarding PDFs

    Dan pretty much nailed it right there, if it passes preflight! Pay attention to the modification dates. On a side note, there's nothing better than wasting time & bandwidth downloading a 3 GB .zip file only to use their 20 MB PDF.

    ELI5: Why are CMYK conversions different using Pantones new Lab colors

    Many thanks, fellas, for helping me out in these difficult times! *tips hat* I think my problem was an old way of thinking and the frustration of not having a good enough understanding of the impact and the solutions. Stephen pretty much nailed it right here for me: "Of course, with legacy...

    ELI5: Why are CMYK conversions different using Pantones new Lab colors

    Sorry. I'm outta time here. The lady is getting pissed and I'm on a 4 day weekend and I'm still talking about work. ;) Thanks, Stephen for the breakdown but I still can't seem to understand why a smaller color gamut (CMYK) would change value when the outside gamut (Lab) was introduced to...

    ELI5: Why are CMYK conversions different using Pantones new Lab colors

    Thank you Stephen but can you break it down into more simple terms because many of us don't even have the spectros you scientists have. Like I said, explain like I am five. Perhaps that will help others understand as well. I think it will convey things much more easily. Call me an idiot. Shut up...

    ELI5: Why are CMYK conversions different using Pantones new Lab colors

    This is exactly where I don't understand. How has the outside Lab value suddenly change a "static" CMYK conversion value, which is a smaller color gamut? These were CYMK formulations thats been relied on upon years. How does one decide to change the recipe of color within a smaller color gamut...
