trash illy prefs file and restart dont cave in straight away like most folks and start re-installing stuff - it's not often needed by the way - what system - mac/pc? OS version etc :rock-n-roll:

apologies - cgs is oris - i meant to add gmg

yeah cgs, efi or oris colour tuner - prolly the three best colour management rips for offset proofing etc etc - if that makes sense lol even something like the reasonably priced epson stylus pro 4880 with a good rip will give good colour however you will never precisely match whatever...

yeah there is - make sure you "distribute" the form - that should allow saving i did something similar with pre-press job tickets - all is fine. its tabbabbabbabble through each field in sequence for filling in, has some check boxes and stuff, and the CSR here fill em in, save em and email me...

yep - could you explain in a little more detail what you ARE doing, what you're TRYING to acheive and steps you take - then we can try to help a little photoshop can export paths to illustrator yes, photoshop can save paths as clipping paths, save vector shapes, layers, all manner of stuff etc...

no personal experience but looked at these when looking to replace my (heap of junk korean cr@p) machine quality wise the best seemed to be the anapurna - speed the arizona/acuity arizona/acuity downside is the maximum rigid size is fixed to the bed size - on the anapurna in "theory" you can...

you sir - may now be killed yes :) well my work here is done - thats this thread shot to sh¶t and truely threadjacked :) ps: i like the "we prefer to design in rgb as we like the colours....oh - whats cmyk then?" at THIS point i turn into a crazed killer

oo sorry that was for rodi :) here in packaging land we still do hard proofs - full mock ups (see my post somewhere about trying to get my UV inkjet to run colour accurate-ish proofs onto board substrate) as we have lots of marry-ups in desighns, and customers WILL spend more time and check a...

i may have to kill you now :)

we have a winner............

ok that soesnt make sense (to me) open vector files from photoshop that i saved as an illustrator file? you know the difference between vector and raster yes? am a little confused - care to just expand on that a little and we'll see if we can help photoshop will allow paths, can export those...

it is funny (press minders seldom laugh at that though!) we always manage, and to be honest unless a desighner wants to go as far as profiling substrates and varnish finishes to like FOGRA standards or GRACOL etc etc then most "proofs" (even mine sometimes) and just reasonable guides. we print...

artios cad will do that nicely - look for esko artwork - totally compatable with zund - i got the same set up here

check how the presses are run - are they run to a STANDARD like swop, or euroscale or whatever - you can get a reasonable "proof" by running your printer to the same standard if however, like me, we have profiled our presses and have our own icc profile for the press - you could possibly ask...

cheers signmeup (phd) :) i use that all the time in prepress - specially when trapping jobs, makes it easy to select similar elements and trap them equally. also, since we only print on card here, sometimes the board can stretch and we have to do what is known as "zonal trap" (no - not spinal...

are the circles filled/stroked the same? in illy, select ONE object, go "select>same>fill"- or stroke or blend, or any of the options wireframe mode is excellent - drag around areas, shift-click ON element to deselect if ya pick up unwanted bits, group elements for quick selection, you can...

its easy - keep it all high res and you're fine i understand the principal of sticking to what ya like etc - but ya gotta move with the times - the more ya know the more valuable you are i hope so anyway

of course that can all go to ratsh!t if there's spot colours, transparency, overprints, blending affects etc etc - but i'm sure you are aware of that

careful doing it all in photoshop you'll be supplying the job at 300dpi and for fonts/type that's not the best. if those fonts were kept as live fonts they will, when ultimately rasterized (unless appe is used), be done so at the optimum resolution of the output device - most probably at about...

i just pm'd ya - from wet cold freezing UK :)
