that is quite a work around. I am in a similar situation where I have no idea how to talk to my EFI RIP server with out appletalk. Everyone else in my office has the latest macOS, while I'm still hanging on to to my 10.5.8 specifically so I can continue to print to our epson proofer.

Re: Survey about use of Acrobat on the Mac After some reading here and other forums, recently we have switched to direct export from InDesign (CS3 on Mac). Prior to that I would almost always print postscript to a watched folder for Distiller to process. I sort-of miss having the watched folder...

Looking for recommendations on a dial or digital micrometer for gauging paper thickness. What are you using and where can I get one?

Re: Magnetic Signs through Epson Printers Sorry no experience. How thick is the magnetic material they are asking you to print on? Typically you would print on an adhesive vinyl then mount that to the magnetic material.

Re: Good scanner? Finding appropriate flatbed scanners is a challenge. We had settled on purchasing an Epson 1000XL, though we have not followed through with that purchase. Seems we don't really need a scanner as much as we thought.. Our number one criteria in choosing a flatbed scanner was...

Re: RFC Large Format Printer for University Fine Art Program > {quote:title=rich apollo wrote:}{quote} > For the kind of work you're describing I'd cruise the photography forums. Those guys are absolute wackos about their inkjet devices. They REALLY push the envelope. +1 on that! All kinds...

I need to create an official transcript paper for the company. I want to include a watermark but do not have the need for the quantity of stock it would take for a true watermark. I have heard of chemical watermarks. Can anyone provide insight on the process and the results?

Re: I am going to show that I was self taught..... +Woha+! That would be awesome if you could assign an entire layer to overprint in ID. However I didn't see anything in the help about that or how to do it within ID either. The addition of Object Styles (and table styles) has been really handy...

Re: Adobe CS3 - CS2 Leopard - JOY, Joy, joy....oh crap no matter what forum they pop up in, these mac vs pc "discussions" are +always+ so entertaining. :-)

Re: Permissions on Mac Serv 10.4 /Leop The latest version of X-San (X-San 2) is supposed to resolve the searching problem, we'll see if some of these permissions issues get resolved as well/ We recently discovered the Illustrator files are not handling permissions very well... tbc We should be...

Re: Need help on good quality business card printer I can't say for sure, But I assume most of these copy centers send this stuff out to printers that specialize in business card printing. Even notice how many restrictions there are on those cards? They keep the cost down by offering a small...

Re: Permissions on Mac Serv 10.4 /Leop not so sure it is a Leopard only issue. We are running an apple server with X-san and having a few permissions problems right now. It's all very 'greek' to me but our IT guy is quite displeased with the lack of support from apple on fixing this. Just found...

Re: Proofer of Your Dreams We are dreaming here right? So cost is no object when dreaming... So let me take this as far as I think it can go, I would love to see an actual inked proof, spot colors, varnish and all. I envision a digital re-writable "plate" that lays down the same inks the press...

Re: 44x65 image @ 240 CS 3 - won't print with Epson 9800? Re: 44x65 image @ 240 CS 3 - won't print with Epson 9800? What application are you outputting from (PSD, Illustrator, InDesign)? Are you running it directly to the Epson or via a RIP? I have successfully printed files 44" x 96"...

Re: "Printing's Alive" youtube oh yeah Lori, it was a fantastic piece. Really hit the spot!

After doing press checks for the last 36 hours straight a friend sent me this youtube link to get me psyched up for my next 14 hour block on press... Printing's Alive - Pazazz printing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpAuDrs5ocg&feature=related I thought it was brilliant!

Re: URGENT - NEED BOOKS PRINTED IN 24 HOURS IN WINTER GARDEN, FL AREA Sent you an email Heidi, Probably wont be cheap and I am not even sure it can be done in time. The perfect binding is the real problem, most printers do not perfect bind in-house. I think all of these printer have digital...

Re: advise to buy Proof Printer The HP should be an acceptable choice too. I think it has more to do with the front end Color Proofing RIP you use like what Cory mentioned (ORIS, GMG, EFI etc.).

Re: Ready to get OUT of the business ... Coming from a different perspective, and I know i am the minority here, but these horror stories are exactly why I, as a print manager/buyer, I make it my goal to send out files that require little or no pre-press work beyond the automated workflow. And...
