[fusionpro] PrintOne Retail Store Experiences
Hi Everyone We're a small print house in the UK with a couple of FusionPro Desktop licences and running an Indigo press. We're in discussion with Printable about stepping up to use a PrintOne Retail Store. Whilst very helpful, my sales contact has been unable to point me at any reference sites using the Retail Store under the premise that it's new and that a number of existing clients are still building theirs. Before I take the plunge, does anyone on the list have any experience in running a Retail Store, the ease of branding, the performance? I'm interested to here views on any area of the solution - strengths and weaknesses. From using the demo site, I have two specific issues which I'd appreciate any of your comments on. Both have been raised with my sales contact. * Performance - the catalog list (100 items) seems slow to load (about 8 seconds) and each expand/collapse menu cause a page reload when it's first expanded. There's no reload after the first expansion - presumably because it's cached. I'm unclear whether this is a connection issue from UK to US (using broadband 1Mbit/s) or whether this is typical. My concern is that in the retail environment, end-users may not be patient enough to wait. * Size of proofing window - this seems small compared to other solutions. When I look at competitors, the proof window appears much larger and clearer. Does anyone else feel the same way, or am I just being a bit picky?

[fusionpro] Re: Fusion Pro printing problem
I'm curious to hear a reply to your question. . .I'll be facing the very same issues very soon with a client who'll be generating a BUNCH of business cards. . .good question.

Everything is working fine except that when I view my PDF of the imposed file, I have little tick marks that are marking the finished size of the file. These are not crop marks as those are not selected. Upon opening the file in Illustrator, it appears that Fusion Pro builds a frame around the original file...and it appears that these tick marks are remnants of the frame surrounding the file. Anyone else have this problem or know how to get rid of these marks? Thanks! Joe -- Users of FusionPro Desktop have unlimited free email support.

[fusionpro] Re: AND operator
How would I use the and operator in this instance. Simply take off the closing parentheses before the subsequent if statements as seen below and add the operator. I believe this should work. if(Field(Choose a Theme)== Reflections if(Field(Color Option)== Green if(Field(Picture)== Reflex1) -- Users of FusionPro Desktop have unlimited free email support.

[fusionpro] RE: Type Drop shadows
Soft drop shadows are not supported in FusionPro. (This is #2 on my wish list for printable ... my #1 wish is support for text on a curve) However, you can easily create hard drop shadows by doing the following: 1. create a variable data text box and color the text 100% black (or whatever color you want your shadow to be) 2. now duplicate that variable text box, nudge it slightly up and to the left (for example) and change the color to white (or whatever color you want your main text to be) With two variable text boxes (each containing the same variable data) - one sitting slightly above the other - you can create a fake drop shadow. -- Eric Carbone Systems Administrator MOR Printing, Inc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 6:02 PM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Type Drop shadows Can anyone suggest a way to handle drop shadows on variable type? -- Users of FusionPro Desktop have unlimited free email support.
