Exactly. Worth a look in.

Normally the way I would get around that is to impose the whole sheet in indy. I tried in preps 5 to do it but ran out of time to investigate further.

it sucks to do in 5 but in 6 you can actually see the dielines so can make adjustments and measure. We're supplied typically a pdf of the imposed dielines so I drop that in to preps 6 and snap some guides, take some measurements, and step it out. Might take 10 minutes to do, then it's saved as a preps template in our library.

What you should never attempt in Preps is this attached type (stealth bombers, aka diagonal seam envelopes).
We do 1-ups, export to pdf, then impose the pdfs in indy. This allows "relink" when the art inevitably changes, so the n-up indy file kinda works like a preps template.

That's how I do it for the one gift card carrier we do every year. Relink the new art and go... well, fix the art first because the salesman to too scared to tell the client to set it up correctly.

Traffic sucked today for you, huh? Waze works pretty good doesn't it.

haha yeah I saw you on there. Traffic was normal, sometimes it's better. I use waze because I have 20 different routes to work and it does a decent job of picking one that sucks less.

Yea, it works pretty good. We used it on our subaru trip in Jan and I did quite well. I still feel like I'm playing Pac-Man though.

I do like the warnings like snow and fog. No shit, that's what all this white stuff falling from the sky is? I didn't know. Having the heads up of possible police presence does help.

off off topic now but I always check alternate routes, if it takes me an extra 4 minutes to get home but I avoid an extra 7 miles of driving and 4 tolls... well.

It's 9 pages long and only now we went off topic? Might be a record.

Back to our regularly scheduled programing.

Pretty exciting? Prepress is like that.

DigitalCrapShoveler · March 21, 2013, 07:03:42 PM

The shit that app will do is just fucking mind-blowing.

gnubler · March 21, 2013, 08:06:15 PM

You must really like prepress. :kiss:

DigitalCrapShoveler · March 21, 2013, 08:16:31 PM

I like anything that makes my job easier. And yes, I like Prepress. Go fuck yourself. :kiss:
