Quote from: DigiCorn on November 21, 2013, 01:32:00 PMYeah? I was on my way there, but I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

So that wasn't you who got hit by the commuter train in Bernalillo? I said 3:10, boy! :angry:

The train got to the Santa Fe depot and someone noticed "human remains" on the train. I wish the papers would go into more detail.

Reminds me of old Benny Hill bit:
Blonde actress: "What's that in the road, a head?!"
Benny: "No no no! it's what's that in the road ahead?"

OK, low on your priority list right now, I guess, but how did you like the 'feel' of the imposition?

It looks almost exactly like Preps 6 soooooo....I'm almost right at home. :laugh:

What does the "MF" in XMF stand for anyway?

I have another meeting today, don't think it's the final meeting, haven't talked to any technical people yet.
Not at all sure what to ask, did you guys update to pitstop 12 for xmf?

We're at Pitstop 12 but it wasn't required for XMF. Heck you don't even have to have Pitstop with XMF other than it is how you create custom preflight profiles. Version 11 will work fine though.

How do you currently impose? Preps? Manually in InDesign? Or what?

Yeesh!

Imposition is going to be much different for you. :laugh:

But better!

Find out how many renderers you are getting. I recommend two because if you only have one everything will come to a standstill when you are outputting plate files.

Tracy at work:

"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Thanks for the heads up about the renderers!

I think I'm getting a new proofer and possibly a new processor too

So does Preps 5 but I'm used to it.

I'm just happy I can make plates now.

Quote from: Farabomb on April 06, 2016, 11:39:41 AMIt's more like grip, grip, grip, noise, then spin and 2 feet in and feel shame.
