I'm learning to make eBooks and EPUB feature in InDesign (CS5) I’ve tried, works ok for a beginner like me, but I’ve seen ebooks for tablets which require entering password before you can read them…
My question: is there any way to create such a password protected ebook with InDesign or different software is needed for this task? (What this software could be ?)
Thanks to all experienced people who can help me with advice!

In order to get some jobs through our EFI RIP, we must convert ridiculously complex Illustrator files into tifs. Is it better to export from Ill or put the file in Photoshop and convert it to a tif? The issue here is time and quality.

I am 57 and started setting type by hand in 1968. Went to a trade school for printing, after that attended college all the while running a letterpress and offset press. Moved up after graduation into the pre press area. I learned the darkroom trade and stripping from some of the best skilled guys I ever met. I also set copy on a Editwriter 7500 for a while and did paste ups. I was a 4c stripper for a few years and then came the MAC in 82. That changed the entire industry. No more 4/c skill required to do complicated stripping. Single page negs were the norm. I took MAC classes at night while managing a 12 employee i...

Hello everybody,
It's my first post here after 2-3 years of constantly reading the forums.
My company wants to replace film+conv. plate with CTP. We have found a used Suprasetter 102 (15pl/h) in good condition. What are the week points of this machine?
I am supposed to inspect the machine next week. What is there to check on theese machines? Should I look for anything in special?
I also tried looking for (at least) user manual - could not find one...
Anybody feeling generous ?

How to prepare file (plates) for document where some letters must be embossed but without any colour?
Example - a business card. The name on it is JOHN SMITH and must be embossed, so it rises above the paper surface but is not colorized with any ink. (Someone told me this technique is called also “blind embossing”).
The other text (phone and email ) on the business card is to be printed with blue conventional ink.
I can output the document with a plate for spot blue colour but
I absolutely don’t know what to with the JOHN S...

How to optimize colours of file for flexographic print?
I was told that for flexo print ( for example packaging and stickers) a file must have properly optimized colours, etc.
My assignment is a project for packaging box to be printed on cardboard.
I created it in Illustrator CS5, in CMYK.
Contains lettering and vector shapes plus CMYK picture imported from Photoshop in .tiff format.
The check shows no errors and all CMYK colours are OK.
What optimisation do I need to apply to this document so it can be printed in flexogra...

We have a modified creo, basically a lotum, that works very well. We're now considering a ds 8600. Cost seems to be the issue, but I'm concerned about quality, consistency, control. Our system is relatively simplistic (one paper stock, one press, one plate curve). We produce about 120 plates daily on bakeless Sword plates. We're currently holding a very tight tolerance (3 to 4%) between chemistry cycles when measuring the plates (in the 50% range) and have found no one as picky as us with which we can compare notes. I want to make sure that ds can reproduce similar results.
Does ds or any o...

we are looking at purchasing a Creo Trendsetter 3244.....the question is whether it uses positive plates or negative plates. It is slightly used and the current owner does not know the answer.

I notice there are a lot of people here that are still doing film and are wanting to upgrade to a CTP system. I know someone who is selling an older system, but it works great and maybe a good start without spending an arm and leg, especially in today's economy. The platesetter is a Presstek Dimensions 200 (2 up) machine with the Momentum (Harlequinn based) RIP. Our machine is being repaired due to a bad motor in our chiller so I went there to use their machine to make plates and it works just fine. i think he's asking for about $7000 for it but is taking offers.
