Sorry. Yes to PDF X-1. Saving straight out of Illustrator CC2015 using the Illustrator preset for PDF/X-1. I used illustrator to create the die line with a 1 point stroke. I can only assume that it has something to do with layers because if I set the dieline to the top layer it remains a stroke...

We are getting a new cutter. Yay? I'm trying to set up some test files for the Zund g3 with little to no information other than what I've been able to gleen off of the internet and what I've been told by the powers that be. They want to have something to test with when it is installed and the...

Ours just kind of glance at it when they pick it up.... It's annoying. Also.... dabob. Now I am going to have to watch ALL of the Off Register videos when I get home. Thanks for that. I'm supposed to be working a freelance job. :P

Thanks guys! I have a lot to learn about CU as well as Pitstop. This is the first shop that I've worked at that hasn't had a dedicated pre-flight person and deals more with PDFs than native files. Up to this shop I've only had to use Pitstop for basic text editing and color changes so I've got...

Managers had me download and install Connect You on the CSRs computer so I could set up a preflight connector project for our CSR. This is so she can catch art issues before they get to prepress. The majority of our client submitted "print-ready" files are not PDFx compliant. That being said...

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the info and opinions! Also, SOS Digital... my eyes glazed over when I saw your templates page, I would love to set one of those up. :) And then I would be praying that our customers might actually USE it. LOL!

Exactly my thought... but they want information on the cloud based systems so here I am. Researching that. Honestly... I don't even know how the cloud based stuff works. I'm guessing magic. ;)

I'm in research mode for our print shop so I would be stupid not to ask the opinions of you lot on cloud storage. I am only familiar with the 'big' names in cloud backups like Carbonite (and by familiar, I mean I have heard of them) and there are so many more companies now than there were even...

We deal mostly in customer created PDF files which, when I first started working here really bugged me (I came from a large shop that dealt mainly with native files and hardly ever accepted PDFs. When I started here I was told "use this profile when making pdfs" meaning PDF/X-1a:2001 and...

dabob.... What is this "Print Ready" that you are speaking of!??? LOL!

If I ever quit Acrobat and I don't get the "Acrobat has quit unexpectedly" message I am going to sell all my stuff and move to a cabin in the woods and live technology-free. ... wait. technology-except-for-Netflix--free... which would mean I would need internet service... dang. I need to think...

I have been given the task of researching for a new scanner for our dept. We need something that will scan documents and forms really well. They've got a cheezie less that $50 one now and it scans streaks all over and there is dirt on the glass... on the inside. It makes me cry on the inside and...

Well... the powers that be are replacing the 'server' machine (like I suggested over a year ago because who even has a mac with a powerpc processor anymore?) so I guess... problem solved? Apparently, the big part of the problem was the operating system from the land that time forgot not being...

I tried a search for this topic but probably used the wrong words (if this has been addressed please point me to the thread so I don't rehash what has gone before)... I also posted this in the information technology forum but have gotten no response and then thought if anyone is going to run...

I tried a search for this topic but probably used the wrong words... We have a new PC running Windows 7 and for the life of me I cannot get it to connect to our files on the mac server. I can see it in the list of network places but it will not connect. I did find this info somewhere else on...

I'm very sad that I forgot to tune in for Bigfoot... I really wanted to see Alice Cooper get kicked by a yeti..... and yes. I agree with you iamgemini.

Speaking as a female type person... it's actually anyone that isn't in the print industry that finds the bitching about it not interesting. In my household, I don't find bitching about the local renn faire interesting conversation. It goes in one ear and out the other because I don't care about...

LOL! It's like you *know* me!

holy crap! That was it. there was a dfont clashing with it. :)))) Now I just need to find who put that in the user font library and slap them for not leaving things as they found them when they were done..... Thank you!

We actually use 2 customer portal outfits that offer variable data output as well as static items that just get ordered over and over with no changes. We have been slowly transferring our clients from PageDNA to Printer's Presence. When I say slowly I mean I started working here 2 years ago and...
