Hi toast, as a regular user of it, is there some display problem with www.desktoppublishing.com/boards? In both Safari and Explorer it shows up and plays nicely for two or three post displays then stops. Do you get that, or is it better in another browser?

;)

Is this actually OSX native? According to Adobe's website Distiller is still OS9, but the page might be out of date. Toast, so far as I can remember is Distiller v4 faster than v5?

Layers don't make any difference - try the Export command, that's where the choices are.

QX6 beta isn't public, although it's fairly public knowledge and available somewhere!

Someone lent me a music CD with forward slashes in the titles. That knackered things here, could be it's the same on pknoth's machine too... Clients send me Windows files with / in the names, sometimes they open OK, sometimes not. I copy them over in hope and remove the /.

Just by way of a change, this is a real desktop!

The ??? reply Natobasso, which versions of Illus and QX are you using? I am also wondering if your Xpress installer didn't quite finish the job. I don't know if one of the Quark Xtensions handles Illus import? Or maybe the other way round, with the Illus installer and an export function...

Hello Natobasso, the only time I don't get decent prints through the RIP is when somebody's sent in Illustrator a/w without the fonts, for instance they haven't outlined them. Are you using the StylusRIP, Birmy's PowerRIP or another? I am considering buying the Birmy product for X.

We'll see. I 'spose they were in a hurry to compete with Freehand and the Corel suite. Quality gets customers, not who's first - otherwise we'd all still be driving Ford T's.

In a another thread, 'Quark 4.1 Screen Re-draw Problem', niallerc says Illustrator 10 is behaving badly on his Mac. niallerc is not alone. It behaves badly for everybody. Today a client sent in PC versions of some Illus files, so I DL'd the PC Illus demo to run on the HP. It's not my...

Hello cabbage - I get terrible lag on my 450 dual, in both 9 and X. It's a real clunker. I like the features though, so I recently produced a couple of jobs with ID demanding complex drop shadows. It did actually turn out quicker than using Pshop and being compromised 'twixt text & shadows...

I've been saying that for ages, toast. Xpress = production giant ID2 = great for designers* *Except when you put any colour and/or an image in an ID doc:rolleyes:. Drag!

Well, as a motor-racing nut anyway, I find it a bit addictive! It's difficult to say about the graphics - the Mac I have isn't the latest and has a fairly stock card in it and I'm playing on a 22" monitor, so I imagine the system is a bit pushed, but I get by fine. I reckon a 17" monitor would...

Morning! I was just rummaging around in the console app and I am curious about this item: Attempt to release a printing object without first doing a retain!!! Is that something to do with Gimp taking over printing? It seems to coincide with printing Appleworks docs, but as they print anyway I...

Yep. The other aggravation is that I'll be keeping this G4 for some time, as I have to boot into 9 in order to load the USB-Parallel drivers. It's all Epson, so no updates of course!

I'm not sure of the legals on this, I'd like to speed up the circuit loading times so I assume making a disk image of the CD is the way to go but it won't work because of the software dongle (I think). Has anyone tried this and succeeded?

Ah now, where the heck do I put the thing? Oh yeah, of course - bigger desk, bigger office. I hope it comes with wall mounting brackets!

Thanks Cheryl, Toast. I've solved the problem, though something wierd is still going on. Somehow the software that drives the Epson USB to parallel cabling got deleted from the Mac. I traced that back to attempting and failing to get Font Reserve to load Garamond condensed. At 3.30am this...

I didn't do any new installs. As I use this machine to run the business, I don't even install Apple software until I'm positive it works! I re-installed the drivers, still bitmapped. I'll try the DTP forums, thanks, I always forget about that place.
