  2. Windows 7 will not start up?

    Their are a couple backup programs I would suggest that are free which will clone a hard disk to files on a different disk or to a network backup. Both can be ran from a CD or USB which ever your computer is able to Boot from. I use a drive dock so I can store drives off site, either use USB3...
  3. Comparison - Versaworks, Caldera, and Onyx

    I had a file with transparency as test, Roland was out, Tested Onyx Thrive and Caldara using Xeon 4 core processor and separate drives as Caldara was running Linux. Thrive crashed many times on my system plus was extra for color profiling. I was using Windows 8 which may have been a issue...
  4. Getting deep rich blacks with HPL26500

    I have a 12x18 folder that uses a number of black formulas. File is called Folder_The_Color_of_Black.pdf , it is located here http://dc.communityprinters.com/colors . I can see from this thread it might be an idea to add a few RGB colors as well so one can simply show the customer a sample and...
  5. Corel x6vs Corel x7 vs Corel x6 Technical suite

    Lastly if someone knows of any Legal upgrade deals better than Corels price it would be nice to know, particularly if they include media - I like having the disks around, so thereis no excuse for them not working during a re-install a year or 3 later. Thanks, Ken
  6. Corel x6vs Corel x7 vs Corel x6 Technical suite

    I have an X4 and X6, I would like to upgrade the X4 but see lots of complaints of X7 issues. Plus X7 probably uses yet another format, If I did go X7 I probably need a Macro so perhaps a key combination would auto save to 6 Alternative might be if Corel would allow upgrade from X4 regular to...
  7. Laptop vs Desktop

    I recently added a larger monitor to my laptop as well as keyboard and mouse and it makes a great dual monitor home computer running Windows 8. However I also built a Xeon system for work, quad core 3.5 ghz, with 16 gigs of ecc ram, expandable to 32 gigs, 256 gig ssd and a 3 gig video card...
  8. Corel document sees something that I do not

    Try holding down the F8 key and start CorelDraw, it will ask if you want to reset your preferences to default. If this works make changes to your preferences as desired. Things like selecting a line instead of a fill area to select an area. or Print page only rather than entire document as a...
  9. Best RIP software for small business...

    I purchased a HP Latex printer last winter - we demoed Onyx Thrive (adobe rip) and Caldera on a Xeon 3.5 ghz quad core unit with 16 gigs of ECC RAM Nvidia graphics. Onyx was set up with 2 drives, a Samsung 256 Gig SSD, Windows 8, and Terabyte Seagate - Onyx Thrive (adobe pdf rip) - had no...

  11. CorelDraw X5 won't initialize

    A few versions of Coreldraw back I had that issue of Corel not starting. Turned out the default printer, a network printer was down for repairs. If not that hold the F8 key while starting and reset to default, then save a new profile of settings. 2 other issues, bad spot on hard drive...
  12. Run Caldera RIP in Hyper-V Manager of Windows 8? or 7?

    Has anyone tried running a RIP in a virtual server of Windows 8 (or 7)? I went with Caldera as a RIP for its stability, but also have Windows 8, using EasyBCD to choose appropriate hard drive at startup. I haven't the business yet to run the Caldera as a RIP all day so was wondering about...

  14. What's the best rip software to use for wide format printing?

    On a pc you are replacing the operating system with Caldera's implementation of Debian Linux. I purchased the 3.5 ghz Intel Xeon processor with onboard graphics chip as was same price as without. With this I could only obtain 1280x1024 monitor resolution with a windows video benchmark in the...
  15. What's the best rip software to use for wide format printing?

    http://www.caldera.com/support/minimal-requirements/ If I read this correctly, probably not but it doesn't hurt to call and ask. I guess because of our Digital copier background I dislike RIP companies charging an arm and a leg for slow pc RIPs. so I I bought the best in Xeon which allows...
  16. What's the best rip software to use for wide format printing?

    I just went through trialing Caldera and Onyx Thrive. Initially I was put off by the Caldera Interface, but it worked and Color Profiling is included. Also as one sets up hotfolders they should have less to deal with at the RIP. Then Onyx Thrive arrived, I found it easier to navigate through...

    This is their tech support suggestion On HP designjets the light ink will have to be reduced by 50% to avoid over inking issues. --

    I have an i1 pro 2 from our 2nd store and an i1. With Caldera demo- I could not get the pro2 to read the strip of patches with the pro2 and pro2 strip printout. (may have been a USB cable issue - see next paragraph) Then I tried the Onyx Thrive 11 demo and the Pro2 would not calibrate to even...
  19. Will omega 2.5 work with windows 7

    If you can - download it from Microsoft. I purchased a Windows 8 from Newegg with the parts for a computer I built. Initially I was typing in the wrong code - the one I could read! I called Microsoft and they were no help because the item wasn't purchased through them, so there would be the...
