    Excessive revisions and proofs

    I encourage our Accura MIS users to add a variable to their proof email template, which automatically includes the version number of the proof. This way both parties know that they are on Proof Version: 99 of the "print ready" artwork that should have been good to go on the first proof!

    The Re-quote Process

    Is the job still profitable, even at $400 less? Less than what? $400 less than cost? $400 less in profit, i.e. the job is being sold at cost for no profit? Forgetting labour costs for the staff with nothing to do for the moment, there is still the cost of substrate, ink, packing materials etc.

    Epson Surecolor P proofer vs HPz9 printer for print proofs

    I know that CGS ORIS Color Tuner can do progressive proofs. Do you certify your proofs?

    Any way to know what clicks we did last month?

    What volume discounts do you use for digital?

    Why do they reject sRGB???

    In many cases they don't want to be held responsible for gamut mapping, forcing this back to the supplier of the file so that they are aware of and are responsible for any saturation and or hue shifts. Edit: Forgot to mention, it is rare in my experience that a digital press is set up as a...

    New Job Title for Prepress/Wide Format/Digital Press operators

    It was pointed out on the B4Print forum that it is not really possible to polish a turd, however it is possible to roll it in glitter! Seriously though, at one point in time there was a push to change the title to Premedia. Stephen Marsh

    Mac files won't work in hot folder
