I can count all the times on one finger I have thought about spot colors over the last year.
That many times. You're thinking too much about it, get a hobby.

Aint that the truth.

And when we point out that we have just saved their nuts from being cut off, we are told that it is our job to do that.

I don't save anyones nuts now, those $#%&ers are on their own

Quote from: David on March 07, 2023, 10:12:12 AMI had a color retoucher I worked with that would lose his mind if you ever touched his screen with you bare finger.

AS WELL, HE SHOULD ... I still get angry over it!

When I did photoshop 40hrs a week, uninterrupted, I used to flip out over that shit ... you'd be "in the zone" crushing 1hr enahnce/sharpen reqs in about 15mins, only to WASTE 5 mins trying to clone out some grubby A-hole's finger print on the screen!
I get very triggered over people touching my screen with fingers. 

My revenge is to go to their screen when no one else is around, run my index finger knuckle deep inside both nostrils and smear that all over their screen.

They don't know who does it, but I do and that is good enough for me.

Quote from: Tracy on February 16, 2023, 11:04:54 AMreminds me of when I first started working here with the Brisque

Shudder, I remember very unfondly when we went to our first platesetter. Creo Lotem 400 with Brisque and Preps for imposition.

Could take up to 30 minutes to rip a 4 pg A4 flat and it would fall over at 95% done. Transparencies were a nightmare.

Upgraded to Prinergy Evo when Kodak purchased Creo and dropped Brisque. It fixed a lot of the issues.

Now running Agfa Apogee and their version of Impose. I preferred Prinergy, but marrying it up to an Agfa platesetter was going to be a nightmare, and the 2nd hand platesetter came with at the time current version of Apogee so it was a no brainer.

Would be happy to go back to Prinergy but that aint gunna happen any time in my lifetime.

Adobe Acrobat / Re: Option Drag
February 02, 2023, 02:55:48 PM
I've just discovered rotate page view, in InDesign, for years would create large corflute jobs as landscape then group all, change page orientation to portrait and rotate grouped images 90º to print. (The rip absolutely hated doing the rotate, would fail 50% of the time and hated landscape pdf's that were rotated to portrait once created)

Now I can create a portrait page, rotate view to build content and export pdf which comes out how I want.

Never knew it was there until I received a file from client that was set up like this and I couldn't work out why pdf that I was exporting was rotated 90º. Had me stumped for a while.

(I would rub it in, too!)
Personally, I rub it out. But not thinking about Joe. Other things.
So, you're saying you give it a run thru the knuckles?

Could it be ... finally a print head issue that Windex can't fix?
I knew it had to happen one day... ;)
We had to upgrade from Windex to isopropyl alcohol on our Anapurna print heads  :)

Yep, I have 4 servers automatically mount on start up, however I have stopped having software startup. It takes long enough as it is, and if you have to do a couple of restarts to troubleshoot issues (2012 model mac's, we need to do this a bit more often lately) you can almost go to lunch and come back before it has fully started.
