Managing the process for print design
Hi,
I like to know if there is some kind off managing system for creating a print design. Sometimes it happens that the final designs go to the press white still something wrong. I made a check list but that doesn't work, because it's unpractical when you have a very tight deadline.
So I'm looking for something more practical, that force the project manager to let the final designs being checked by; copy, specs and content, before sending it for pressing.
Big thnx!
Wibo,
Agree 100% with what Neil and John are saying but some clients are more responsible than others. I went through this a while backwhile every care is taken a lot of our entry come directly from client supplied text or tables inserted into our databases. For this reason I wanted to make the client aware and a bit more responsible for what was finally going to be printed 5000 or so times.
We came up with that attached sign off form to guide the client in checking. It is normally a pdf form which allows for n/a to be filled in for non applicable check boxes. I also decided it was important to highlight with the client that the list is not a through list of things to check but a general roadmap of the type of things to think of.
Also as a lot of our projects are handed off to the client for printing and in these days of digital proofs often the proofs are also press ready files we included the disclaimer that the artwork is not released by us for reproduction until the client returns the signed form. Their call if they go print without returning the form but we have supplied the data for proofing not final production.
As we tackle all sorts of mapping jobs we were after something generic that covered most of our small to medium sized projects - these can range from a $300 custom map supply which may only take an hour to produce to an $10k project that spans a year or two by the time all the data is captured and various revisions actioned.
Obviously for larger contracts the sign off and revision is a more formal and specific process.
Hope the attached image helps sorry about the rough Acrobat PNG export. I think some of the attached wording even came from Neil's initial suggestions.

What's the benefits of Illustrator CC over Illustrator CS3 for print design?
What's the benefits of Illustrator CC over Illustrator CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.
BRistle brushes, more versatile art brushes, prrspective grid, to name butba few... Whether or not any of this is relevant for you is for you to decide.

Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol. -

Can I automate the process of printing booklet?
Can I automate the process of printing booklet?
I use a saved Print Preset named "A5 booklet"
I supply page range 1-16 then print as pdf using PDFCreater.
File Name as 01.pdf, then pages 17-32 as 02.pdf and so on.
I am aware that InDesign provides printBooklet() method through scripting, but I have no clues how to use it.
Any links or scripts are welcome.
Thanks and regards.Thanks stephen0218 for the idimposer link.
I'm aware of Print Booklet... functionality, and I am currently using it to manually print booklets from InDesign files.
I want to automate the print booklet task itself.
I make 01.pdf with page range of 1-16, then 02.pdf with page range 17-32 and so on.
It is not that much tedious for small files of upto 160 pages, which generate 10 pdf files. But for larger projects of upto 600 pages, the manual work is very time consuming and error prone process.
I tried to call "document.printBooklet" function in JavaScript, but got stuck in supplying dynamic page ranges.
Here is the Documentation.
It will be a great help if anyone can help me here.
Thanks and regards. -

Mass processing for printing shopfloor papers
When I press background processing for printing shopfloor papers in COHV then I get message background processing triggered but no print comes out of printer.
Where to see result of background processing. In COHV log is also empty.
My requirement is that when I press print Icon in COHV then it should automatically print paper, No need to goto Sp01 and print from there .
Please guide.Mayuresh,
In the order print control configuration transaction OPK8, activate Print Immediately check box against the individual list in the "Spool Parameters for user" folder.
Since you have mentioned that you are using Background processing for printing, you need to run Program "PPPRBTCH" in background to print the papers.

Prasobh

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate
It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
