    Small mom and pop print shop. Looking for ways to update our workflow.

    My idea about the email marketing is to let our customers know about things they may not know we can do and they end up going somewhere else for that stuff. I hear it time and time again "OH! You can do that!?" But in reality, we need to get some more business clients. I mean, we have enough now...

    Small mom and pop print shop. Looking for ways to update our workflow.

    No, not really. I've been here about 15 years (I'm the graphic artist). There are tons of things I would change about how this place is run that are just my own personal opinions.

    Small mom and pop print shop. Looking for ways to update our workflow.

    LOL. No, they don't want to change. They are set in their ways. But I keep thinking, if there is something we can do to bring our stuff into the 21st century, that would be good. Just the other day she was talking about not making enough money even though we are busy. I brought up the point that...

    Small mom and pop print shop. Looking for ways to update our workflow.

    I work for a small mom and pop print shop. Both my bosses are in their 60's and are used to doing things the way they do things. We do use Franklin Estimating for our offset estimating. But billing is done via 4 part invoice and a typewriter. We have no customer tracking whatsoever. Jobs that...

    Looking to replace our C7200 with an imagerunner C750. Anybody have any input?

    I work for a small print shop and we are looking to replace the C7200 and our older B&W 7095 with a C750. My boss wanted to get some input on the C750. Anybody have any experience with it? Pros? Cons? They are saying it will be around $38,000. Does that seem about right? They are offering 4.5 on...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    Geeez... why didn't I know about this printer sharing crap before!??? I've always printed to the Creo from our Mac because that's my main production machine... but I have a windows computer as well for some windows only programs. Whenever I wanted to print a file on the windows machine to the...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    I get this: Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.0.100’ supports the HP JetDirect Protocol. Would you still like to create the queue? Cancel and Continue buttons at botom

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    I'm really not familiar at all with JDF stuff. Ive heard it being talked about for a while now but never needed it so I never looked into it. And when people call things "hot folders"... are those just shared folders over the network?

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    I've already got the driver. It's on a shared folder on the rip. But when I try to add the printer I'm doing something wrong in there I think. When I tried to print to it, it went to our other high speed black and white machine. I think we might have printed to this printer over Appletalk...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    Well... looking around the interweb, it appears that I can save PDF files converted to RGB using the Destination menu under Output in the InDesign PDF window. As for greyscale, that's a little more complicated. Apparently I have to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go into the Preflight area and...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    Yea.. the Creo rip is a separate PC hooked up to the machine. And what you suggested is the same thing that a tech from Ikon told me I would have to do. I have to PDF the files from InDesign and send them to a shared folder on the Creo rip. Then via Remote Desktop Connection on the Mac, I can...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    The thing is... All I need to be able to do is send the job to the rip like before. I don't need all the crap in the PPD itself. I don't configure the print job from the print driver. I send it to to the rip and configure the job there. I don't know why I cant do that... the problem I was having...

    Right... but I'm not following exactly what all that is trying to accomplish.

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    What does all that have to do with 10.7 not working with Creo rips? The only other Mac I have is running 10.5.8 I think. If 10.7 doesnt work with current rips, I might need to go out and buy 10.6 and install it on our Mac Pro and upgrade to 10.7 once the drivers are out there. I didn't ask...

    Digital Copier RIPs not supporting OSX Lion??

    Just got a new Mac Pro so we can upgrade to the newest versions of the Adobe Creative Suite. Just to find out yesterday that the Creo rip on our color copier doesn't support Lion. I guess they don't have drivers. Great. What am I supposed to do now? Keep the G5 in my office until they come out...
