Hi All, so a client of ours has this file as part of their branding, they've only provided the colour in Pantones (158U) so my questions are, how is it that both oranges show as 158U, there's no transparency etc on either? and How would it be best to print these on the Digital Press? I can...

Thought i'd upgrade to Sierra on one of the macs, everything seems to run ok, but i cant get the Mac to find my printer via the driver network search now. I've installed Fiery Command ok, but the print driver wont find the printer. Yosemite and El Capitan had no issues. The printers the...

Great, just brilliant. Sell us the machines, demand your click money and then open up a print shop and take our clients. This is probably the toughest 12 months we've had, and now this. It's a disgrace. There's no way we can compete with their pricing and now there's the issue that when i...

Hi, Anyone use Apple Numbers? I've no experience with spreadsheets so it's all a bit new for me. I want to make a table that will work out my print costs for me. So far i have the stock type, click charge, stock charge and the formula to work that out all fine. I want to add a column that...

Hi, so, I'm pretty much working a soletrader these days, and the majority of my work is with my main occupation as a designer. We have a Versant 80 that we have through, i think a 4 year lease with Fuji. My question is, has anyone any experience with breaking lease? Are there options...

depending on the file size, make a copy and rename the copy .psb instead of .psd see if that opens.

Hi, I'm trying to strip down the amount of computers etc in the shop (it's just me) I work on my iMac for all my design stuff, run Command Workstation on there for my Versant. and Would ideally run Wasatch on it for our Epson. I can run it under Bootcamp. But does anyone have any experience...

Have you tried upgrading Java on El Capitan? it has it's own menu now at the bottom of system preferences?

i think if there's an answer for the first question, then that should answer the second, i dont think CWS can seperate colour and black and white pages in the RIP, but once you have them listed its easy enough to tell it to print those specific pages in their colour gamut.

use these www.impositionsoftware.com super cheap and work a treat in indesign, we've been using them for years, saves buckets of time.

in regards to the Adobe situation INDESIGN for any typesetting, document layout etc ILLUSTRATOR for vector work PHOTOSHOP for Raster work and photo manipulation you can create print files in all of these and i know designers who do and create perfectly print ready files, but for ease of...

Speaking as a designer. Your loyalty here is with the client who had the rebrand work done. I would contact them before doing any printing and letting them know of your concerns and the issues with the Style Guide and files provided. If the designer is worth their salt, your client will pass...

I'd wait for the light to stop flashing before powering down, it can take sometime (up to an hour, depending on how the machine was used) but as far as i know it's to stop the toner from solidifying due to the heat. you can open the front door and pull out the fuser a little if you need to...

Thanks for the info, yeah i shortened my message to just RGB and CMYK, but we use the ADOBE RGB profile and GraCol CMYK, but what you wrote makes total sense, i was always confused as to how the 11 colour Epson was really using the full width of it's Colour Gamut if i was only ever sending it...

files from clients come in all forms and profiles, my question was do i let the RIP convert the colours or do I do it myself in the preflight?

Thanks Stephen, Any information would be greatly appreciated. Because we're a design studio, everything we design is in CMYK, with client files that are going through the Versant we preflight and colour convert them and let the RIP impose, but with the Wasatch and Epson i keep getting...

Hi, as an additional issue from my Green post. with the Wasatch Rip and Epson printer, is there a way that i can add a cut line between images for the wasatch to seperate with? Yesterday we did 80 A1 posters, which we then had to cut down by hand afterwards. is there a way we can create a...

Thanks for the tips all, the wide format side of things is pretty new to me, we're currently just throwing images into the RIP and using the profiles that came with it. I'll have to have a play around and see if i can tone down the green some in the images. in which case im hitting trouble...

Hi, we have an Epson 9900 printer that's controlled via our Wasatch RIP. We're having issues at the moment where black and white prints turn out with a slight green tinge to them. We've tried different colour profiles, converting the colour from CMYK or RGB to greyscale or vice versa but...

what i was implying was that designers shouldn't be sending you layered files? they should be sending you flattened files and keeping the layered file at their end for any edits. if you're charging designers to make corrections then 3 hours of your processing time will be paid for? also as a...
