    How's Business?

    Millions of labels? I think he’s exaggerating! I’ll bet his contract was to produce the graphics only, from which, one electronic file was created and sent overseas, for the printing.

    InDesign to Illustrator

    Sorry to interject, but answers to this question could possibly save gazillions of dollars and also put me out of work once and for all. This question ought to have it’s own thread and I can’t even scratch the surface, but many things are often needed to be done to prepare supplied "print...

    Mac Quark question

    I think it involves corn husks. The only other kerning I know of involves character spacing, however “kerneling” might be something that the NSA could be interested in.

    .010" Process trap vs .015" Line trap...why the difference?

    These amounts are common in wide-web flexography for printing on thin plastic substrates. It hasn't been that long since .02" to .03" was the trapping norm. The proofing was lots of fun, trying to explain the trap-created elements and artifacts.

    .010" Process trap vs .015" Line trap...why the difference?

    I've seen some printers use their high-end presses (or press) for process jobs only, and the rest are done on their older presses, which usually require more trap. Also, spot color line art jobs, with lots of trap, can be run without the painstaking registration concerns that process jobs...

    No line screen needed?

    Apparently I know bupkus about digital printing. I recently asked a digital printer at what line screen they print on their large display banners. They replied: No line screen we are a digital printer we need art full size at 100 dpi. Also, their Artwork Guidelines request 150 dpi maximum for...

    A complaint

    Rich, If you don't already have one, spring for a mouse with left and right buttons, and a scroll wheel in the middle (pc style). I bought a GE mini-model, with retractable cord, last year for about $15. Works great on Macs. The right-click brings up Control menus, and the scroll wheel allows...

    How can I create non-exportable PDF files

    You can password-protect files for print only, but a sneaky dog, like myself, can get around it. I suggest you rasterize, as you mentioned, at the lowest resolution that allows a moderately decent screen rendering and a letter-size (8.5 x 11) print. You can offer your "customer" a better image...

    Ineptitude

    I tell that to myself and my wife every payday! (I also tell myself: I love my job, I love my job, I love my job...) I remember a Customer Service Representative who, with the understanding that their role was to "make corrections", would do so even when jobs were already approved by the...
