Unverified report: Shutting down Burnaby development in TWO WEEKS! Will try to confirm. Until then, maybe you guys should hold your applause at Kodak's brilliant move to unify their workflow in one geographical location.

Follow up: They whacked all the guys in Victoria, BC too. Say goodbye to Insite. No official press release as of yet. Times have changed. When end-of-life was announced for Impact workflow, the VLF customers screamed blue bloody murder for months on end. And this isn't end of life, this is...

Just got a phone from a source today, they are shutting down Prinergy development Prinergy is Dead | Prepress Pilgrim

Really good technical discussion of the latest processless plate technology still in the lab. But I would be way more excited if they guys had backers with deep pockets a commitment to take this to market. WAAAAY too many promising technologies have been strangled in the crib over the last...

I got a package from Creo in 2004. Been a contractor for about 5 years now. Been laid off more times than you can count. Still got the house though'. You know what helps. You gotta make a spreadsheet of cash flow. Cash going in, cash going out. Cash is king. Cash, cash, cash. Then you cut...

I'm Canadian. I grew up in Ottawa. When I first heard of global warming, I was so excited. Then we just had the coldest winter in Vancouver in like 50 years. I'm disappointed. Stupid lefties can't do anything right.

"It seems that all PDF publisher files come out RGB." Good at least you got RGB, whenever I handled publisher files, they all came out crap... Like vector elements that should have been pure black, came out on four colors. Aaah, aaahhhh, horrible flashbacks ... must exit thread

Hey, it's okay that a vendor sells to your competition. That's what vendors do. But HP is BECOMING the competitor but still wants to sell gear to you. Ummm, some people might have a problem with that.

so would Prinergy be out of your price range?

I've been following the marketsplash story and I think its a idiotic move by HP. My fearless prediction is that the Indigo division of HP will get it killed by end of year at latest. Prepress Pilgrim

Shiatsu (Japanese massage) Also the weightroom. Also quitting a lousy job does wonders to alleviate stress. It's only money.

Are you saying you want to buy a proofer and then find a printer who will match the proof? I think it's more important to find a printer who is knowledgeable about color management than it is to find the right proofer. I mean, a nice ICC profile on good paper on an old Epson 9000 will beat a...

Well, Prinergy won't do a direct connect to a Barco megasetter. You need to get some sort of TIFF downloader front end to put in front of a BARCO. In a pinch, a Harlequin with a LOT of RAM will do. Then have Prinergy send some bitmap TIFFs or bitmaps with a EPS wrapper to the RIP. Cheers, DJ...
