* sets bong on table....

crap was i suppose to wait????

thanks for the help MandL, converting to outlines was going to be my first workaround for the size. It wasn't just the ability to copy it, but you could very easily tell it was text. One question i had, was what font do you normally use and/or does it matter?
The main problem, other than my lack of experience in this sort of thing, is apparently the salesperson "can't" get their files(learned this today), OR a sample of what I am trying to reproduce  so this has turned into an educational thing for me at this stage.
Her - "can we do it?"
Me-"idk, what exactly am i trying to produce? Can i see a sample?"
Her - "no, can't get one"
me -"pffft k, then no"

BUT i like to learn, so on i play

Thanks again

Update: Gave the one point type a try today. The text was too clear and could be easily copied on our copier. I tried smaller text but Prinergy apparently won't let anything smaller than 1pt go through. I am going to poke around the settings tomorrow and see if I can get that "feature" disabled. 

Hi Joe,
we never have had the preps problem you describe, but we had something similar and it was the license server giving us grief. Just curious, what are you importing into prinergy, straight up preps templates or ps/pjtf files written from preps? we use the latter but all workflows are different. As far as support, NO you do not have to pay for ecentral, phone support or any other support. I have had techs log into my mac workstation to see what i was describing on several occasions and there was no fee. It seems they haven't gotten your information entered into their database correctly, and your salesperson needs to handle it...don't give up, out of all the systems i have installed and used, kodak support for me has been the best out there. The system is by no means inexpensive, so make sure they earn it.

best of luck

We sort of have this setup, but we run two seperate prinergy systems, and export/import from one to another. we have a 10Mb line between us and exporting a job from one to another runs about 1MB a second. If the job is over 20 MB or so i have them burn the exported jobs to disk and have someone drive it over. My keepers checked on upgrading our line speed, but came back that it financially wasn't practical.

If your trendsetter does use 1bit tiffs, have them made at the server location and drive them over and load into the hot folder for the trendsetter - just my thoughts.

lol and i almost gave up reading after post 6. thanks for the info folks, we're gonna give it a try tomorrow. Maybe if i pull this off i wont get laid off....wow that's sooooo not funny

thanks again PPF errrr i mean B4print (old joke i'm sure by now)

yeah I saw that too, probably have to have serious government clearance to even get what is needed to do it lol.

thanks

Greetings! We are trying to get a large job, but it requires microprinting for security reasons. Does anyone have any experience with this, and is it something that can be done with traditional offset presses?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
Michael

Is this quark thing some kind of Indesign plugin, or ?
