    Beware of the Xerox 700/Creo upgrade

    We just had our Xerox 700 and Creo loaded with the latest rev of software by our Xerox tech and now you can no longer auto duplex 12x18 paper any heavier than the 177-220 GSM weight. This was the original spec on the machine but it never prevented you from doing that until now. Since we've had...

    What do Print Buyers think?

    VDP What? VDP What? You sure VDP isn't some kinda new STD? But seriously, those are pretty telling numbers. We've done a few (think count on one hand) VDP projects over the last year but experienced very little repeat business from the customers that gave it a try. Not to say that it's a...

    Carbon neutral?

    1) It is just a counterpoint to the idea that CO2 is the ultimate evil gas and we should all be punished (or at least feel very guilty) for any CO2 we emit. More plant life has a cooling effect on the atmosphere. 2) So in the MMGW (man made global warming) world, because earth is warming faster...

    Darwin Desktop VDP and (" ") marks showing up

    So I saved out our Excel file as a Tab delim. text file and now when I import the tab delim. text file into Darwin, I get quote marks in many of the records that include a comma.

    Carbon neutral?

    Man made global warming is a myth. Oh, did you know that plants thrive in a high CO2 environment and die off as CO2 concentration drops? By the way, what ever happened to the whole world getting fried by the hole in the Ozone layer back in the 80s? I predict this will become just another end...

Unfortunately, Fed bailouts are not...

    Creo / Xerox 700 duplex question

    If I want to print a single page InDesign document as a duplex sheet (tumble the same image on both sides like a press layout) can you do that within the PPD settings of the print dialogue in ID?
