I use an external 4 TB hard drive to back up job files. When it gets full, we get another one, they are not that expensive.
We burn all archived jobs to DVD, then copy the same to the external. We use Neofinder to catalog the external so we can do a quick search.

I don't trust online/internet storage, but that's just me. I'm old and cranky.


YMMV

Quote from: Tracy on September 09, 2024, 11:15:54 AMOk, I'm seriously thinking about doing the install
does anyone know of any issues with Sonoma?

mine runs great (24" iMac, M1 chip, 16gb RAM, Sonoma 14.6.1).

Most of my prepress work is through a VNC connection, even with that I thinks it's way faster than my previous Mac.

just had my external Seagate 1tb drive die, had to get a new one for Time Machine, got a Toshiba 2tb, works great (same price as the 1tb 2 years ago).

I think I have had to use Time Machine a total of 4 times in my life.

Fujifilm XMF / Re: Overlapping pages lose bleed

I don't use XMF but most imposition programs do not support a "nested" style impo.

You will need to do it in an external program (Indesign or Illustrator) then place the nested file in the impo.

The largest format is 8x10, normally a 4x5 is considered large format (that you can buy). There are custom cameras that can be larger, not usually on the open market.

When I was a shooting photographer (taking pics of Dinos) I used a 35mm with ton's of lenses.
I always wanted a 4.25 Hasselblad square format, never was able to afford one tho.

We run film on a Liberator here, 28 inch  roll, for silkscreen, and these would be seps. 
I have no idea what you would use film for other than that now-a-days. 


40 inch color negative?  never seen one
