I was just wondering about the hosting because of how fast the pages for this site render. I did a WHOIS lookup. Maybe answered my own question. :) It looks like this site uses Cloudflare so I do not get the IP address for the actual hosted site. This site pops up in my browser much faster than...

Can someone tell me what hosting company is Print Planet hosted on? Thanks!!!

I've worked at small Mom & Pop shops for the last 20 something years now, they all use unique numerical filing for jobs. We file completed work in 10X12 envelopes typically containing the work order, press sheets, finished pieces email approval or pertinent communications on pricing and...

I have the same issue. I had some experience with a Xerox Versant 180. It had problems but calibration was pretty straight forward. Now we have a Canon V900 it has ILS, inline photospectrometer. I calibrate our machine every day using: Auto Adjust Gradation/ Full adjust, printing on 28#...

I go with 50% Mag ;-)

We are a year in on a 5 year lease with a Canon V900. Just came out a year ago. We did consider the V1000. We have had issues with color and quality. Color consistency on jobs, and proofs that are a reasonably good match to our offset press has been a problem. Mostly I feel I was not trained...

There is almost nothing worse than a client who doesn't know what they want. They will drive you crazy and waste lots of time and money.

Yes, experienced people can bring bad habits with them. I hope I'm not one of those. And your secret technique for doing something today is obsolete six months from now because of new technology or someone has a better trick than you (or me) ;-) It sounds like you have a good culture there, keep...

Stumbled upon this post because it had a recent reply. I thought I'd reply because the topic speaks to me. Maybe my story belongs in the lounge? Here's an age related story of my own experience. I am going to be 60 in May 2024. Several years ago I decided to look into a career change after 30+...

I always keep several older versions of InDesign installed for those very reasons. Don't overwrite when you update!

I can relate to your troubles. My experience with Xerox Versant 180 and Canon V900 are similar. The Canon V900 I work with has color consistencey issues and I've heard those same answers from our sales rep.(paper, humidity/environment). I agree with the jwheeler and kslight about printing...

I saw your remark about "adjust the print length in the Fiery". I am trying to learn about adjusting size accuracy with our Canon V900. Are there any tutorials or tips you would share with a noob? I have found some settings in the paper catalog properties that I would like to try out.

No worries. I've used this type of forum before. If you don't demonstrate you have tried to figure it out yourself you shouldn't expect much help. I will use this site as a resource not a crutch ;-) Thanks!

Hi there I just signed up. Looking to offer help where I can and hopefully get some in return. I have about 30 years in Pre-Press. I worked with conventional pre-press making Cromalins, Matchprints and Color Keys. Moved to Scitex and Mac workflows and now work with Mac/PC platforms using Apogee...
