Oh interesting. We send CIP3 data to our presses from XMF. It's apparently the end of the world if the pressmen need to figure out how to do things without it.

Oh that's awesome. I kinda wish our cutters had that setup. I think they're JDF capable, but bindery just makes their own programs on them and they're not connected to the network at all.

From what I can see on the plugin's page it will include those 15,000+ swatches for free. The paid version adds a dozen or so features to create custom palettes and other un-important sounding junk.

I guess the normal Pantone+ Coated CMYK, Uncoated CMYK, and Metalic swatch books are to remain in Adobe software. I don't think they're up-to-date on the books within InDesign anyway, (still using v2 I think?) but if you have a newer book, you can download the swatchbook and manually plug them into InDesign or any other adobe program.

Somehow that check box got unchecked. Could an update do that? I doubt it, must have been me.

If Acrobat crashed, that box may have been unchecked if preferences got corrupt and rebuilt on the next app startup. I haven't had that specific setting reset itself, but my user interface with custom icon placements and tools on the right palette revert to default on occasion.

oh I see the @ symbol in front of graphic

You bet!

We do this all the time too. Our barcode font is called USPSIMBStandard.ttf and our mail house says the font needs to be 16pt with default spacing.

USPSIMBStandard.ttf.zip

If you have any apps that worked on Big Sur on an Intel Machine, the M1 should be able to run them. I know Office 365 was intel and had to be installed with Rosetta, but they did come out with a Universal version later on. Same with Adobe. If you have Office 365, it'll install the Universal version.

We have M1 Mini's here at our shop and they are very fast. Got them and 27" 4k monitors for about $1,000 total (already had mice and keyboards) when the M1 Mini's came out and haven't had an issue. Though originally XMF hadn't had a version that would work on Big Sur or M1 at the time and now they do. I think, but could be wrong, that XMF supports Monterey too now.

Thanks!

HAH, small update. Sent a job over to it to print and it gave the "No Ink Installed" error. I checked things out some more and had a thought to try to lift the cartridge up slightly, stuck a piece of cover stock under it, closed the door and now it works perfectly. My guess is misaligned chips or the cartridge guides are somehow worn down.

Quote from: Tracy on August 19, 2022, 12:14:31 PMcan you try a different size cartridge? mine has 2 size options
I always get the larger one, but they have a small one too
maybe there is an issue with the cartridge size that you have now

I would never recommend using a non epson ink, but maybe get one to get you through this?
They owe you a workable ink

I would try the other epson size first tho, please sign my disclaimer!! 

Yeah Fuji gave us a cartridge for free and now the new free cartridge is working, just took a while for it to recognize it I guess. We've only used the large cartridges too but it's worth a shot. I've got our estimator ordering us a new cartridge just in-case this one goes sideways too.

Quote from: AaronH on August 19, 2022, 10:50:47 AMOh interesting. I'll give it a shot.

let me know...

No dice. It now gives me an error on that cartridge to call service, specifically "Ink Service Error 1537".

should have known better; worth a shot, though... it's been since 2003/4 we did that. Technology has changed.

just to clarify, it did that on the ink, right? You weren't trying to shove an N64 cartridge in there?

HAHA yeah I definitely didn't try to shove a N64 cartridge in. Oddly enough one of the new (unfungled) cartridges just finally worked. No idea why.

Probably a bad chip

This is my guess. Though weird that we'd have two bad chips back to back.... or not. Xerox was having bad chips on their versant toner cartridges not that long ago.

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has run across this before... Our Light Light Black isn't being recognized as installed. The empty cartridge is recognized if we put it back in. Fuji gave us a replacement cartridge that we got this morning and still no go. When the door is open it sees the cartridge as full, but once the door is closed and it has a moment to make some noise, then it says there is no ink cartridge installed.

Epson's site isn't helpful, they just say to re-seat cartridges and turn off the machine and turn it back on. We've tried that on both new cartridges and nothing's working.

Edit: the Epson in question is a SC-P8000.
