    Recommended CTP machine

    You could check out CRON-ECRM for a letterpress plate imager. I am unsure of CRON 's exposure in Singapore but its at least another company name to look into. They opened a facility in the USA in 2016 but they are based out of China. Good Luck!

    Hi Gordo Thank you for your quick reply and your suggestion to visit them at the next InfoFlex in Indianapolis. I am not yet willing to include another expense of $1,750 plus airfare and hotel just to improve communication from Digimarc when I feel they need to sell this new code concept to...

    adobe cc 2014 update

    Hey Wonderings, were you moving to a new computer or is this something you did on the same computer? I dont believe it's necessary to uninstall CC prior to installing CC 2014.

    adobe cc 2014 update

    Yes, you will have two versions to work from so you can test the new 2014 but go back to CC if you need to get stuff done quickly. Be aware though, I was unable to sync or import my settings from CC to 2014. If someone else knows why that process fails and how to correct it, it would be greatly...

    Win7 Untimate & Using Virtual PC (XP)

    Tried and failed Tried and failed I tried the downloaded PPD you suggested but I am still unable to install the print drivers for Agfa on my Vista computer. It may have something to do with NT being a Kernel type driver and Vista doesnt allow for Kernel dirvers. I really want to get this...
