Australia is a big island, we have enough nutters here without importing any more. Find somewhere else.
😁
and New Zealand is too small ....and we already have enough here (looks up wellington protests to see our latest BS)

Don't run FusionPro here.

I got a sign-off using the IDAutomation version, so guess we'll be purchasing that one! (Pic attached for kicks)

Thx all, I love barcodes.  ::)
we use the IDautomation one (sans asterisks) and it works fine  ;)

we also have the indigo here, and the white gets used a fair bit, often hit more than once to get the vibrance up a bit.

and to make it very interesting we are getting a new ricoh installed this week, and will be getting the silver and gold options when they are available (july apparently).
The company that has merged with us currently has a xerox and the gold on that is quite good, but the ricoh is going to replace that... and I get to join the others with the training as i used to run a ricoh at a previous company, should be fun relearning it again and give me another skill

anybody got a clue how to do this?

Inner portion near the center is pinched leaving the outer portion un-pinched.

TIA

I don't know if it's the best way but you can use the Arc effect at 100% instead of typing on a path. Then bring down your vertical distortion. And just do opposite for the bottom half.
handy to know... will stick that somewhere in my brain for future reference!

In Indiana it's 50/50. What you had before you were married stays yours. What you obtain while you are married is 50/50. That includes both your retirements but only what's added while you were married. Debt would be split 50/50. And it doesn't matter who obtained what. She can get you for half of her school loans but again, only if they were incurred during your marriage. Any debt incurred after the divorce was filed is not split. She can try for hardship but one look at why she lost her job, depending on the judge, he/she would throw that out. Submit character evidence too. Should be easy for the judge to see what she's doing.
We don't have alimony in Indiana. But there is "maintenance" but that ends when your divorce has a final judgement. It's meant for bills to continue to be paid. And whoever is paying the maintenance gets to write it off during tax time. The person getting it has to claim it as income.
Every state is different.
I'll never get married ever again.
sounds pretty similar to NZ... I wasnt married to this ex (although after three years a partnership is treated like a marriage in NZ) and I have a separation agreement (which states who gets what if we separate) so it should be straight forward. My previous marriage split was ok a well, but no kids then

BUT OMFG delooch, what a saga you have gone through! It would totally do my head in!

i so feel for you all! my kids are with me mon-friday at present cos Im 'working' from home, my ex is working at work (builder) and cos he would be hopeless at getting them to do any schoolwork anyway.

mine are 10 and 11, oldest is at intermediate school this year (probably junior high ish USA I guess?). his teachers have been fab, one zooms most days (maths) and I am pushing him a lot with most classes, often having to spend time going through stuff but he is doing ok, He understands has has a certain amount to get done before he can chill on roblox after school. oh and for the first two weeks i had no printer (eventually managed to buy one) so had to handwrite all his work out...   :facepalm:

the other one (primary school still) has a zoom class each day but he tries to multitask at the same time, doing maths online while semi tuning into the meeting (maths, voluntary reading and spelling is about all they have given them to do). Yesterday a school questionaire I responded to got the teacher messaging me and asking does he need more work and me going YES PLEASE! he thinks that cos the teachers are letting them do what they want he can just watch utube all day while his brother moans about having to do work... and me in the middle kinda stuck and not able to give him work cos " the teacher didnt say i had to do it!" and the minute its 'after school' he is on roblox as well
grrrrrr....

on the up side yesterday the govt announced we will go into level 2 on thursday, kids back to school following monday... yehaaaaaaaaa
Not sure when I go back into work though

So it's Saturday night close to midnight, and I'm boozing in the garage bar and it dawns on me, I haven't checked in on B4 in a couple days. OK, all you cool cats and kittens, here's the skinny: On Tuesday, I was absolutely losing my fucking mind working from home, educating a 6 and 10 year old, and running a household. My fellow prepress co-worker returned Monday after something like 6 weeks off. I basically told her, I can't fucking do this any more; the stress is literally killing me (I had a blood pressure episode that lasted about 2 days where I was in stroke territory with a sustained average blood pressure somewhere in the 170/110 range). I had a conversation with the boss, and Thursday morning (after working abut 3 hours) we came to arrangement that puts me on paid leave until the middle of June... I get a little less than half my normal wage... and I'm sort of *on-call* but not really. I didn't even care about the money, but it's a government loan/edd thing, so whatever. I had to compose a letter that said I'm unable to work because I have childcare issues, that our schools are closed, our childcare facilities are closed and that I'm caring for family members (my father-in-law has COPD, diabetes, and is 85 and I do their shopping/handyman-type stuff for them right now). Anyway, I told the boss that I solely set up the new shop we bought last year, and it's my baby and I don't want anything or anybody fucking it up so if they need me, I want control over files/plating stuff at that shop but other than that, I'm off for 6 weeks, and regardless of whether the state re-opens or not, I'll be working from home for the foreseeable future, even upon my return. I did do an hour and a half on Friday after all that went down. I'm the kind of guy who always falls into shit, but ends up smelling like roses.

good job! now do take some time for you as well

go ahead and go fishing! who's gonna know! :dev2:
lol... actually same here! its lovely outside... oh wait I can open my door next to my work table and let in the warmth.

Fishing, boating, tramping and hunting and even surfing are on the banned lists here... cant afford to have medical staff or search and rescue out looking for covidiots!
which is a shame cos duck shooting season starts here on may 1st, and apparently the stags are roaring at present, a lot of annoyed hunters out there

Try it out, like I said, just delete the layer for the silver and you'll have a 4 color swatch book.
At least it's a starting point, you can always add or delete colors.


Cheers and enjoy!
thanks very much, will look into that!

thats pretty cool!
Apparently our indigo is older and cant be retrofitted with the silver and gold, which is a shame cos it would be extremely handy.

Boss wants to print it on our press which makes sense really so it will be colour accurate to our press.
