    MIS which covers litho, digital and signage estimation

    I built a custom MIS system at my last job in FileMaker Pro. It had quote and job tracking, customer and contacts management, and basic scheduling capabilities. It was going along well and was easily adaptable to the new markets into which we were going such as large format and digital. It...

    The New MIS System

    I love these musings by Mr. Pritchard and am a longtime reader of his blog, so please do not think I am being critical, but when I read this today I had a feeling of déjà vu --- then I remembered this Dilbert strip. Regardless of the origin of the punchline this point is still true and very...

    Design team collaboration tools? (alternative to InSite online proofing)

    Stephen: Thank you for the information. I was unaware that Kodak sold Creative Workflow as a standalone product. It has been a while since I saw a demo of Prepress Portal, and will be contacting our Kodak rep soon for more info. Mr. Ferrari: right you are, how true... :) zoran: We have looked...

The client does this project once a year and in order to get the job we need to provide them the ability to have per-page approvals from multiple users. Our competitor is using Kodak's InSite online proofing, and we are using...

    Meta's "TIFF_Export" outputs differently than plate/proof?

    a-ha a-ha Turns out we had "Postscript-Colormanagement" set to "Apply," which differs from our Plate & Proofer output plans. That should teach me to make sure everything is set to the same settings... :)

    Meta's "TIFF_Export" outputs differently than plate/proof?

    We are using the TIFF_Export "device" in MetaDimension 6.5 to create TIFF files of our post-RIP output for various purposes (one of them being for calculating ink usage). We noticed today that it does not output the same way as our plate or proof output plans. For instance, files with black...

    SpinJet 5500 and Meta

    We just received a SpinJet 5500 a couple of weeks ago and have yet to figure out how to get it working with MetaDimension 6.5 and I was hoping someone here had done it before and could provide us with that "missing link" we just haven't been able to figure out. The people we bought the SpinJet...

    Question regarding G7 calibration / UV filters / optical brighteners

    Question regarding G7 calibration / UV filters / optical brighteners

    We have been using an i1 pro with a UV filter with ProfileMaker to build profiles and calibrate our Epson proofers on various media (proofing paper, canvas, photo paper). We also have an older i1 pro that does not have a UV filter, that we rarely use. We are currently using the one with the UV...
