We've been a completely PC shop for 20 years, it was possible back then because everything we do is created and printed in house.
Now we're switching to Macs and I'd appreciate any insight or info anyone might have about what to watch for such as
---Fonts, we've always used Type 1 fonts mostly for our book work (I might mention we print in 40-50 languages) with some TrueType and now OpenType fonts. We are currently using Suitcase for font management.
---Color Management: We use Gretag profiling software, HPZ2100 printer for proofing and print on a 6-color Heidleberg sheetfed. We have recently moved away from custom press profiling to G7. I was just wondering about the differences from PC to Mac on how color management is handled, any major learning curve or just continue using the setups and profiles we use now in our Adobe apps and color management is handled in the background?
---Legacy files from Pagemaker, Indesign. 10-15 years worth.
---Anything else you may think of that could be a concern to us switching.
Thanks,
Terry
