Don't say that too loud, you know what will happen.

Hey, it had to be better than a friend of mine who did the same thing but decided that the belt needed to be lubricated. I don't remember what he put on it (this was before YouTube days), but I guess you know how that turned out.

Yeah, like what's a can of gasoline doing on the floor there? Cleaning type?

That's funny. They don't make a Pro computer anymore but they have a Pro display for only $5,000. :lmao:

Same to ya! Bet your avatar will draw some interest here. We've got a few guitar aficionados.

Digital Printing / Re: Xante iQueue Black isn't Black

Not to mention far less loss of product. Nothing like getting special envelopes for one particular job and having a bunch ruined.

It's Adobe. Meaning that they know what we want and need, and if we don't agree with them, we need adjusting.

Kinda like WalMart. If they don't have it, you don't need it.

The one we had was fussy about envelopes as well. Unfortunately for me, I was the only one who ran it, and the shop owner would only get the really cheap envelopes that wouldn't go through the Xante. The last manager we had said she could finish this particularly frustrating job, then lied the next day, telling me she had finished my job the night before. Yeah, I saw what was in the trash can and how short the order was. Plus she had to take out the fuser to get burned pieces of paper out and didn't put all the fasteners back. The owner was never on site, though, so she had free reign to say or do whatever.

Anyway, the only stock that was assured to go through it was from Western Envelopes. Which I wasn't supplied.

Not long before I quit, I had a typical job which entailed opening the machine for a jam every 6-10 envelopes. One time I heard a clunk after I started printing again and some plastic thing had broken. There were no longer any repair places in the state. It was still broken when I left and I've no doubt it stayed that way.

A third story window and an empty parking lot will do.

iQueue does some weird things with colors. I couldn't get mine to print just 100% black either. It did it once just by accident, and then it was pretty light.

It's very useful with some things, but on color I'll pass. I once had a logo with a 10% tint in the background and it wouldn't even print it at all.

That's okay - another "new feature" is bound to pop up soon.

Turning off automatic updates is probably the best thing for any software these days. At least until you find out that others have had no problems with the latest update of anything. Use the general, uninformed public for guinea pigs.

Adobe doesn't have to fix it, it's a feature! Get into the future, man, Adobe don't make mistakes.

Adobe Illustrator / Re: Pantone

Quote from: Captain_Type on September 18, 2023, 11:06:21 AMIt appears that, as of version 27.9, the swatch book workaround no longer works.
The copied books are still in the folder, but no longer appear in Color Books.
They still work in InDesign, but will it last?
That will work until Adobe notices and changes it. Oops, they missed that one.

It's a feature.
