    Compatability with Snow Leopard

    I think any Apogee user knows your statement about client VS the System itself - that was never the question. I work for a major company who says it's products and drivers work on Mac OSX. Mac OS 10.6 is a whole different story and our developers are scrambling to update code3 - sales are...

    Compatability with Snow Leopard

    I have not tried with the latest Apogee system as I do not use those anymore, i am just speaking from a support specialist point of view of the trial and tribulations one will have upgrading to 10.6. Contact all the developers of the products you rely on to make you money. never upgrade anything...

    DP700 with EFI RiP DP700 with EFI RiP Will conform to Gracol7 standards. Xerox can engage Color Analysts who can go over this with you.

    Compatability with Snow Leopard

    everything needs to be Cocoa - re-written by developers. At launch, Apple sw, and QXP v8.1 and Adobe CS4 will work - all other apps, drivers, utilities need to be re-released as Mac OS 10.6 specific. Most major developers are releasing 10.6 (Cocoa) apps (MS and Adobe CS5) in 1st Quarter of 2010...

    inDesign CS4 imposition plugin

    Your RIP's driver should have Cut and Stack in it. Even if you do not have a RIP with Cut and Stack options, you could print to PS using a driver that did indeed have a cut & stack option. Creo and Fiery drivers have that for sure. Or, if $$ is ok, QIPlus is the way to go as many people have...

    Xerox 700 vs. Canon C6000

    A few things I'm aware of. If you do go with Xerox, ensure you are getting it from Xerox - not a Dealer or Agency as they like to be called. The service of an agency compared to true Xerox is a world apart. Also, the 700 is built on the same technologies as the 5000. That's why it's called a...

    Anyone using toner based printer for proofing?

    Dp700 Dp700 I have found that the new Xerox Digital Press 700 with EFI controller is the 1st mid-range device that can hold neutral grey over long runs on glossy paper. That's something. The colour does not drift of shift compared to the DC260 - no need to drop magenta out of a custom profile...

    transparent image on background problem

    for RIPs that do not support transparency, you can export or save your file as a Press Quality or Press Ready PDF and then import the file directly into your RIP - do not print from an application. If you're unable to do that, then do print it from Acrobat but invoke [print as image] if you're...

    GMG Color Proof Vs Kodak Matchprint

    Do not go with Matchprint ... Do not go with Matchprint ... There is no support or updates for Kodak Matchprint servers anymore. They were end of lifed a few years back. Look it up for your self. I know nothing of a GMG Color Proofer but I do know about the Kodak Matchprint.

    Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000

    Re: Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000 This is a great discussion. I wanted you to know that the technology in the 700 is not like the technology in the 240/250 or the 242/252/260. It is basically the same technology that is in a 5000. You won't be dissappointed with a 700. Follow...

    G'day. If a Major printing company was to create their own on-line community forums for their particular output devices, what kind of features would you like to see? What kind of things would you rather not see? Looking forward to any input. Thanks. GordoMac

    Xerox 242 Color Shifts during Runs

    Re: Xerox 242 Color Shifts during Runs Hey guys. None of you mention calibrating the device for the stock you're running. Unless these are off the glass jobs, then auto grayscale adjustment from the tools would be all you can do to get the toner laydown back in line from a drift. If you're...

    Acrobat 8 and Printing

    Re: Acrobat 8 and Printing Fiery based RIP's have CommandWorkstation that you can import PDF files (or any other kind of prostscript file) directly into the RIP. They also have Hot Folder Utilities that you can drop files onto and have them automatically print. The issue with Acrobat 8.x...

    Batch converting RGB to CMYK with text as Black

    Re: Batch converting RGB to CMYK with text as Black Why must this be done? If it is because you're getting blasting on an output device OR to save on colour clicks to a copier, then the solve is simple - invoke GCR output profile for your output device. ANY output device that has profile...

    Leopard - is this safe for a production mac?

    Re: Leopard - is this safe for a production mac? Every person's situation will be different. There are so many things to take into consideration when upgrading - not just sw but the mac you're installing it on, drivers for your output devices and network shares period. If you're quick print...

    Can't access other Mac's in the network

    Re: Can't access other Mac's in the network It will be the Mac OS or the hot folder utilities itself. 1 or the other MUST have been updated between the time where it did work and the time where it did not work. EFI RIPs are all affected by 10.5 and there's even a difference between 10.5.0 and...
