i have a sign outside my shop pasted on the wall that shows my shop’s operating hours, a plastic hanger hanging on the glass panel with leaflets on it, & a straw mat outside for ppl to put their shoes. one by one when i come back the next morning, they disappear. i’ve put up another operating hours sign again, & it was torn down within 2 days.

my shop is relatively small for the kind of business it does, it’s a facial salon, but it’s enjoying good business and success. all the shops around my unit are either manicure/pedicure spas, facial salons, massage parlours, or hair salons. my mum told me that it must’ve been a jjealous tenant (maybe from another facial salon) who saw the thriving business. i know i should just find other ways to prevent them from stealing our things, but i want to find out who it is without having the need to install stupid cameras. i feel like printing the operating hrs sign on a sticky lizard trap & have that idiot stuck to the sign till the next morning lol!

Put the hours sign on the inside of the window and a copy of the hand out so if they are gone people can write down the info.

I have a print plate of Babe Ruth which is a collage of 8 pictures. It probably was printed in a large sports newspaper type magazine and is from the late 30’s, early 40’s. Weren’t most print plates destroyed after use? It is made of a heavy metal. Does anyone know the history of the printing presses these were printed on? Thank you for your help.

In the late 60’s, as a young girl scout, I had the opportunity to visit the Times-Picayune Publishing Co. in New Orleans, Louisiana. They had print plates that they used to show us how the pages were printed. My memory of that time frame was that many of them from that time were kept. It would seem logical that they would melt them down and recycle them now.

Try to contact a newspaper company for that answer. Try www.nola.com. It’s where the Times-Picayune posts their daily news. There should be some kind of contact info on the site.

Lotsa Luck!

I would prefer if the lyrics were input from MP3 tags, but if there is a program which can read lyrics from text files that would also be good.

It would be even better if lyrics could be pulled from a central server/repository, and a lyrics sheet/booklet could be printed by simply specifying an artist/album name.

only if you used a voice recognizing software and played the songs…

Hello,

I am a designer who has got a job offer as a print/web designer in a company that produces print catalogs, and online portals.
With the web world I am quite familiar, unlike print.
Though I have no experience with print, I really need this job.

I need information about preparing files for print from the very beginning on (working on mac).

Thanx a lot
Maya
Sorry, I am unfamiliar with all what u mentioned.
I am though a bit with indesign, freehand and photoshop.
What about the choice of colors?
Should I decide about it before I begin?
Can there be a problem when certain colors are Touching each other?
What about their contour?

Oh dear one, you have a lot to understand!
You need to learn how the process of offset printing works. It is pretty intricate and has some very specific requirements, and each printer has different requirements.
You need to keep things in mind like gripper, bleed, paper grain, paper type and weight, any extra techniques being used post print (embossing, foiling, etc.), the size of the available presses, setting up signatures for printing multiple pages on one sheet, backing up double sided things, and more. All of these things need to be considered in creating a workable design for printing.
The printers I have worked with/for print CMYK (4 color prcess) or spot colors with 133 lpi screens, and all electronic files are saved at 1200 dpi, not 300.
Trapping is an important part of the process. It involves ‘knocking out’ one color and printing another in that space with a very tiny overlap to avoid having any white space showing. Around 1/2 a point or less.
You also need to understand that when you are printing more than one color and if one of them does not ‘knock out’, you will be printing 2 or more colors atop each other and you must be aware of how this will look. Printers usually print the lightest colors first, so keep this in mind.
Also, are you sending electronic files to the printer? What kind of files do they want? Mac or PC? PDF? Native Quark, Freehand or Photoshop? Or do they want actual negatives from you? They are the ones you need to question because if they can’t work with your files you are sunk. In my experience most printers are happy to help you figure this all out, within reason.
Get some experience with programs used in the print industry like Photoshop, QuarkXpress, Acrobat and Illustrator.
If you have specific questions I would be happy to try and help if you’d like to email me.

Additional:
Yes, colors are important because you need to know if the printing will be done in CMYK (4 color process) or Spot Colors (brighter colors). Each require different types of things from you as the designer.
The touching colors involve trapping or overprinting as I mentioned above. This is important and you need to have some idea of how this will look in order to design an effective product.
I would suggest that you take a job in a printing company and learn everything you can. It is the most intensive and effective way to learn about the industry and how your work as designer impacts each and every aspect of production. Some places will hire you at a low to medium rate of pay if you have any design skills at all. In effect, you will be paid to go to school, and you need to know so much to become a really good print designer. If you want it enough you will find a way to make it work. It will be worth it if you suceed.

It’s always nice to receive great feedback on a high profile project like Kodak’s One Magazine, but when the accolades come from an industry icon like Frank Romano, it really makes your day. So when “The Dean” of printing industry experts piled on the praise for the most recent edition of One, I felt compelled to share it with anyone who would listen.

What makes this printed piece so remarkable, according to the Professor Emeritus from Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Print Media, is the finishing. More precisely, it’s a special polyester over-cover printed with the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System. It features 20 micron stochastic screening, 200 lpi and is truly groundbreaking in terms of quality. While it is not typical of flexo printing applications, it demonstrates the strength and versatility of the award-winning FLEXCEL NX Technology.
