do you have dual monitors?

wow.

just fucking wow.

if i had a hat on, i'd take it off to you, sir. i would've dove head first into the rabbit hole and thought it was a server/nas connection issue with incorrect clock settings creating a communication wormhole... then taken the red pill, eaten some of the mushroom and chased the white rabbit for a while. you, sir, fucking nailed it, first try, on instinct.

so now, can you tell us why, after 6 days, with 150 missing people, they've only found 11 bodies in that collapsed Florida highrise? what's going on there?

We run a great many Google jobs with their fonts and only on a rare occasion is there an issue (it's usually theirs, of course they would never admit it).

It's like an alternative to EFI I think? Color management?

I think it's more like presssign?

Anyone use or know anything about this software?

What is everyone using to store their plates before going to press?

Right now we have an old metal rack and the complaint is the plates are to heavy to remove from the top shelf.

are these ready and waiting for press or are they in the plate room waiting to be exposed?

For the plate room, these were stored in their boxes on a large metal shelf (big metal bars that slide lock together system) about 10 ft tall, roughly 20 feet long, placed several feet away from the platesetter cassette so all you had to do was pull the box, turn around and load into the setter. (box of 100, weighs a ton)
Platemaker bitched about it, but it was what it was.

For the press room, we had a double wide (the width of 2 - 40 in plates side by side) cabinet, with about 20 shelves, (approx 4 in between the shelves). Plates were laid flat in the shelf, not hung on hangers.
Each job had it's own shelf (plates with slipsheets between). If it was a W&B, it had 2 shelves, one for the front, one for the back. W&T, etc had just one shelf
This cabinet was about 4 1/2 to 5 ft tall.
There were never that many plates in a single shelf that it was too heavy to get out.
That said, a stack of 12 to 14  40 inch plates can be pretty heavy... 

and cut you like a razor if you didn't watch out.


Maybe you need a shorter shelf?

Yikes!

Finally debt free, my wife would shit a brick.

That is actually a pretty good deal for the latest new model of the 27" iMac.

Pick it up on the way home Friday.

Yours can go up to 128 GB for a mere $629.99.

What would you consider the minimum amount of Ram?

Yikes!

My 2007 imac has finally given up the ghost and I'm looking to replace it. Should I go another imac or possibly a mini and where would you buy?

Thoughts?

I'm needing to replace our old Roland Quadra we use for printing clear film (using fast dry Aspect film).

Will also need to do stamping/emboss files on it occasionally so I need something stable (low distortion as it goes through the printer).

What is everyone using for this?

1 more nail in the prepress coffin.

If I rejected every file that contains RGB I'd have practically no customers! We have all our RIP settings dialed in so RGB gets converted on the fly with no problem. The only thing that ever causes issues is if there is an RGB black or gray that is not the same value for R, G & B won't convert cleanly to K only, but if they are the same values our workflow keeps it as K or a screen of K.

Yes we are no RGB sissies but the sales person on this particular account wants everything pushed back if not correct.

Just remember it's a 'Simulation'

Funny I had the same discussion with a customer recently who had the same problem.

I thought it was file specific, the file was CMYK, but we couldn't figure out how to change it unless we made it a PDF/X file with an output intent.

Right I know but when it's set to RGB all you have are RGB seps. Obviously I know to check it now.

Just strange that is started happening out of nowhere.
