After years of prepress work, I've started my own design business, more part time than full time. Anyway, a former colleague of mine sells print and has begun to refer work to me, both print and website work. Any advice on how much commission I should offer him? I haven't asked yet ... Thanks.

Looking at adding RAM to this. We frequently have large files that have to be reduced in resolution in order to print. Looks like it can take up to 32GB but came with only 256mb. The manual states that it doesn't use RAM for printing, rather the HD of 160 GB, but I'm thinking that's AFTER it's...

I'm using Pitstop Pro 10 on black-only PDF pages from Quark 6.5. I can get all text and vector art to change to my created Spot Black using Remap channel global action, but the images do not change (they are definitely grayscale on the black separation). I tried using an action but all the areas...

We have tried two materials to use for Repositionable Prints and both are falling off the walls. Don't know if there is a better material choice or if possibly the paint on the wall is the culprit - these stick fine to the door :) Materials we've tried are: Ariva 5-mil Matte Polyester Woven...

Good morning - we have Prinergy 3.x with a single-drive tape system. Not using it anymore except to get access to archived files, and the system could be on its last legs so it's important to us to get the files off the tapes before it fails. We will be moving old files onto external drives, but...

I have an Epson 9600 an HP5500 and an HPZ5200 available. Looking to print on a canvas-type of material. I've looked at some wall art available locally and it looks to be glued to a frame by machine, not stretched, stapled and taped. Also, there is a finish on the outside. I've done a bit of this...

Hello! We have an older (version 3) Prinergy system that we're using only to unarchive old jobs. We are getting errors, "RSM cannot identify media because a fatal error occured while trying to load the media label libraries"; and "Library Sony AIT 100 GB Drive failed to write a free media label...

Hello! I'd like to print new vehicle graphics for a company van - not just to update it but to see what's involved. A little background: My company is quite new to large format in general - specialty is high end offset - but have for years created "large format" color-correct proofs for offset...

Black-only screens print with a visible outline and a scuffed appearance overall. Xerox has been working to solve this problem but so far - for a few months now - no solution. I bypass our workflow entirely, sending a PDF-X1a (other, higher versions, too including just PostScript) to our Spire...

Hello everyone! Counting the days to installation :) and wondering about Pitstop. I know XMF can/does use Pitstop actions as long as they are licensed with an active Pitstop program. We have a very old version of Pitstop, 5.02. Looking to get newest version which is $650. What do you think? Is...

Does anyone know if this will accept CIP4? Or if there is an update available? Thank you.

Hello. I hope someone has a some new information about this reoccurring problem. For over a year, we've had problems with color shifting from blue to more purple on jobs that had fairly large areas of a blue build - image or vector. Xerox has been out several times to fix it. Last month, the...

Hello - We use a SpinJet 5500, vintage 2003 running SpinFlow 2.4 software. We've tried several papers since Digital Dylux became unavailable. Currently we're using FX 24# Ultra Bright Bond with a 3-inch core. It's the best we've tried, but still we get quite a bit of skew. I think it could be a...

Hello - I'm looking for XMF users within driving distance of Pennsylvania. Another option would be within driving distance of Torquay, UK in the first week of August 2010. I'd like to see this workflow in action as opposed to a webinar if possible. Thank you!

We have a Heidelberg SM74 Six Color with coater and Alcolor Dampeners. When printing large areas of Pantone Colors on uncoated sheets the Pantone looks mottled with each successive unit. Such as when we print a solid in the last printing unit and don’t use the coater the Pantone color looks...

Thought I posted this already but it's not showing up anywhere - sorry if there are duplicate posts. Tried printing a block of a process build on this stock, cover weight, but couldn't get close to our proof. We have not profiled this paper and haven't used it before this. Our proof was a...

These must have leather strings. Does anyone know where I might find these? I need approximately 2,000 for a job due mid-February. Thank you!
