    Looking for feedback on Xerox Docucolor 242 & 252?

    Re: Looking for feedback on Xerox Docucolor 242 & 252? We have a 242 and it has worked out pretty well. We have the oversize high capacity tray and the built in Fiery.

    Acrobat 8 woes

    Re: Acrobat 8 woes Actually the command spacebar DOES work, albeit slower than molasses in January. One of the problems is Spotlight uses the cmd-spacebar shortcut (which you can turn off). I have found that pressing the spacebar first then the cmd key works best, just make sure you don't have...

    DCS file?

    Re: DCS file? I'm not familiar with the apogee RIP, but I would assume it supports some kind of OPI functionality. If you are using DCS files in Quark you must use OPI in order for it to separate the PMS colors correctly. If you are using Quark 7 you can try saving the image as PSD, or use 2...

    Xerox 242 as entry level digital machine

    Re: Xerox 242 as entry level digital machine We have a 242 and it has some nice features, you can even do VDP to a limited capacity (overprint only). It is fairly fast and has a wide variety of sizes and stock that can run through it. I would suggest the extra tray (tray 6) for the long run...

    INDESIGN CS3 PRINTING INCORRECT PAGE ORDER

    Re: INDESIGN CS3 PRINTING INCORRECT PAGE ORDER You can also quit ID CS3, get info on it, check the box "open using rosetta" and all will print fine. The drawback to this is CS3 slows way down. I turn this on when I'm printing to the RIP (Nexus as well) and it fixes the numerous problems we've...

    Printing gradients with 2 Pantone colors

    Re: Printing gradients with 2 Pantone colors Well there is still the option of creating 2 gradients from 100%-0%, laying them on top of one another and either overprint or multiply. This used to be the OLNY way you could get 2 PMS gradients in PS level 2. Theoretically Indesign should work...

    PS/M 8 - unframing a trapped file on OSX

    Re: PS/M 8 - unframing a trapped file on OSX There are several utilities that will allow you to show invisible files in OSX, Tinkertool comes to mind first, you can get it from versiontracker or macupdate. Just check the box "show invisibles" and relaunch finder. You wont want to keep that on...
