Reality Reality I once worked in an environment where the estimate was completed before anyone had a clue about type of files being submitted, color breaks, etc. How can you estimate a job properly, and not know if it is a 2C, 4C, spot, etc or what needs to be done to make the file ready for...

Just a quick easy question without throwing any stones........ Just a quick easy question without throwing any stones........ Leonard, Is there a way to have the rulers appear by default in lieu of hitting Command+R? Thanks

It usually IS quite true, no matter how much we attempt to help and educate. :o

Although a PDF can be made from Word, it contains RGB and usually when a person uses Word, everything else is usually bad with the file, (ie image res, bleeds, etc) Unfortunately, folks preparing files now have no idea about the downstream process, most have never heard of film or separations...

We are running v11.1b7 and we purchased a new Mac with 10.7.5 and now the client will not work. So I cannot upgrade any more of our production Macs until we upgrade Rampage. A vicious cycle to say the least.

What numerical version of Mountain Lion? That is the key.

Hopefully this is constructive criticism, and your ego can accept it as such. Remember, most employees want a winning team as much as the boss does.

I think you are absolutely correct in your analogy.

If you work in the pressroom or prepress and you still have any pay at all you should be thankful. That being said, with all the automation there are still technical challenges that are easily overlooked and many times under appreciated by managers. This may be because it "looks" easy (just a...

That hi res RIPped PDF is great until you have a 1200 page 4C process book. That turns into a monster 5 GB file. Clients love waiting all day for that baby to download and then trying to open it up and proof it.

Unfortunate Unfortunate The people who plug away each day at the production level have some of the most useful ideas. By ignoring those ideas, management only hurts itself, not taking advantage of what could lead to cost savings and even new business ideas. Most of the time, the ego of the...

Depends On Your Type of Work Depends On Your Type of Work We are a Rampage shop and would give my left arm for a Prinergy system. One reason being is we need a viable softproof solution and Rampage doesn't have it for our workflow. The other is speed. We happen to print books with large page...

Most good print vendors will supply file providers (designers, etc) with explicit step by step guidelines on proper file preparation. And we still get files with the most basic issues (fonts, color breaks, lo res, etc) Unfortunately, anyone who can draw a circle in Illustrator and fill it with...

wow, film is still in use?

Not to be discouraging, but I would change majors completely. The printing industry is in a coma, on life support and it won't be long before they pull the plug.........of course there will be some packaging and some inkjet operations that continue to roll but most everything is going digital.

As a test export as PS and redistill back to PDF v1.3.

Guess I should move to Canada to speak properly, eh? : )

Note Note If in a magazine or book manufacturing environment, it may be best to calculate pages as "widgets" because each step in the process (especially imposition and platemaking) will be affected by the number of pages in the publication/book. Just a suggestion from previous...

We should not be surprised....... We should not be surprised....... Why should there be any continued interest in something that for the most part is dying? We've witnessed the death of many newspapers and magazines, and books are on their way out, going the way of the e-readers. There will...
