Job Templates Job Templates Hey Guru, thanks. I was looking at that as a possibility when I got the notification about your post. You saved me some time in tracking down the how-to. The suggestion of having a job template that gets re-used and modified was not as well received as I had...

Automatic mode will not allow more than one press sheet, at all. That sort of limits the usefulness of the whole thing since not every job is 16, 32, 48, etc. and my planning dept would howl and shriek like a banshee if I told them that we only do 4pg sigs from now on. So the end result is yes...

OK Marko, that automatic imposition thing is seemingly on the right path and I've been able to make it work in testing. Perhaps we've found where the grail is hidden. Thank you for pointing in the right direction. Haven't gotten into it far enough to find out if you can add an 8pg and a 16 for...

Hey Guys, Thanks for taking time to help. First off, we did have some training and it did get us going as far as standard uses of Signa, ie; creating impostions in imposition and montage work modes. We've had to really discover the finer points on our own. We started at version 4.0 and were...

Hi gang, hoping someone out there can help me out. Apparently someone at Heidelberg has told some of the higher-ups in the company that Signa can be used to create standing imposition templates that can be pulled in and contain all page size, signature/folding info and trim margins thereby...

Me Too Me Too I've seen the same thing happen with our 2100. Recently had to run 60 prints with heavy coverage, first 50 ran with no problem but the last 10 were a pain. Printer would start out fine and then have banding where the cyan seemed to drop out. Anyone know what's causing it? Monkey

Here's a sort of work around to try, export a PDF version 5 compatable and up then do a Save As... Postscript. The flattener in Acrobat does a better job than the one in InDesign. Good Luck Monkey

I got a contact from our old supplier for a guy named Mike Yates with Calgraph, phone is 803-622-7422. I haven't tried to call yet, we still have some inks left. Hope this helps. Monkey

Hi Gang, Just wondering if anyone out there using the HP Z series printers with the built in spectrophotometer had ever had to clean the optics of the spectro. I'm using the Kodak Matchprint Injet 3.2 and checking calibration daily. I'm starting to see an increase of the DeltaE reading for...

I'm sure from all the music discussion that there's at least a few Pink Floyd fans here. Sure some of you were as shocked as I was to hear about the death of Rick Wright from cancer. I hadn't heard anything about his illness. Wouldn't have suspected either since he was on tour with David Gilmour...

Phonics... What the heck was wrong with teaching Phonics. Our oldest is getting better (His mother and I both have CDO ((OCD with the letters in the right order)) when it comes to grammar and proper english.) but for a long time, his spelling was ATTROCIOUS because they don't teach the kids the...

Re: Mondegreen Much? Zilla, that just cruel, I love it. My 6 yr old head "Funky Town" and walked around for the rest of the day humming everything but the chorus which he sang as "Monkey Town"

Re: How automated is your Prinergy? WOw Duane, that sounds great. I was a little skeptical of the reality of automation. It's still dependant on getting the files in correct to begin with though, right? Have you had any issues in training your customers to send PDFs that are ready to go? Monkey

Hey Guys, I'm looking for any real world information on just how automated prinergy really is and if you were really able to reduce staff like the rep told the bosses. Read the Last thread on prinergy being the only fully automated workflow and got some good info but if anyone could give some...

Re: XML in Quark or Illustrator Sorry it's taken me so long to actually respond to the answers here, it's been a rough fortnight. OK, so I had hung my yahoo out and googled it but wasn't getting anything that would give me a background to start from, most of the articles I saw seemed to assume...

Does anyone out there deal with using XML files for placing as text in Quark or Indesign? We have a customer that is going to supply XML. Heard a lot of good things but don't have any real experience with it. Is there a good tutorial out there on the web somewhere or an app/script/applet that...

Anyone have an opinion of the best Inkjet Proofers out there right now? Currently running 2 Epson 9800s that are starting to deteriorate. I'll be happy to consider anything so let me know what you guys recommend. Thanks, Monkey

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times London Calling should definitely be on the list somewhere as should "Appetite and Back in Black. The last two were serious party albums for my group of friends. Many summer Saturdays spent with the top off the bronco, buzzed and listening to Back in Black...

Any one know what 5005 means? Thanks, Monkey

Re: New To Prepress Hi Matt, Welcome to my nightmare. I've been doing this for 22 years now and I'n an inkoholic. All the advice you've gotten so far is right, some advantage to working 2nd shift, like the lessening of the adminisphere after dark. Small shops are good for you, get an overview...
