Yours truly was interviewed by Mary Gay Marchese - the Public Relations Director at Markzware, the software company. Over the years, we have purchased a few of their products, most notably Flightcheck. For us, this application is indispensable as we run all our outgoing layout files through it to make sure there are no surprises when it's time to print a project.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A month ago Kodak sent out a press release about their new Nexpress printing press. This press has a very nifty feature that has not been seen before in the printing world. It's a digital press that lays down what they call "Dimensional Clear Dry Ink". It's a special coating - like varnish, or gloss - that creates a raised printing surface to the printed piece.

It's a 3d effect that you can feel with your fingers, which makes it unlike anything done before. Imagine a photo of an orange. With this new Nexpress and the Intelligent Dimensional Coating Solution, you can actually "feel" the dimples of the orange on the paper. If you hold the paper at an angle, you can see how the light reflects as if it were bouncing off a dimpled surface.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I wrote about our catalog project that required the usage of multiple metallic, spot color inks. It took some trial and error, but we got things set up correctly to do the workflow and the PDFs turned out ok.

At least so we thought! The printer has been working on processing our files the last couple of weeks and discovered a situation with one section of the catalog that was causing a problem. There were about ten, seemingly random pages in this section that were not separating correctly. They were all created in the same exact fashion with the same exact settings so it was very strange to hear this.

After we heard about the problem, I went to our workstations and verified all the settings just to be sure nothing had accidentally been flipped. But no, everything looked as expected. Nothing amiss anywhere. The settings in Quark were fine as were the settings in Distiller.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Piggybacking on the multi-color PDFs we were generating for our last Intrigue project, there was a new challenge awaiting. Our latest catalog has a specification for 2 extra "colors" as well - though they are not actually colors, rather they are extra "plates".

There will be a spot varnish plate as well as a "glossy" plate. By printing with both varnish and glossy coatings, the product images will really pop out from the printed page. It creates a very high-end look and people see the extra quality immediately.

We were successful in generating proper (and standard compliant) PDFs for the previous book, this time around, we need to approach things a little differently. Because the varnish and gloss plates are not actual colors, it's necessary to convince Quark and Photoshop that we will be using colors anyway.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We're working on a very interesting project here at Intrigue. It's a 160 plus page catalog for one of our high-end clients. The design of the layout is very clean and attractive. One of the most notable features of this project is the specification of six colors. That's right, SIX!

It's not unusual for us to do a project that specs an extra color or two. They tend to be a little more challenging to produce as we are very creative in how we add the extra color. In this case, our two extra "spot" colors are actually metallic inks. This will give the photos some extra "pop" in the printed book. Whenever we've done metallics in the past, people really love seeing the printed piece as metallic inks give a nice reflective sheen on the paper.]]></description>
