I kinda spoke a little angry myself, sorry back.

Outsorcing is out of the question. This is an issue we are dealing with as I mentioned by converting the eps file into 2 separate tif files and colorizing them in Publisher.

Funny though, many years ago when I read about this "consortium" of Print shop owners and Graphics Professionals getting together to create Publisher I kind of thought they might produce something that would work. Know I see they got a group of Monkeys together who knew nothing about commercial printing and then turned their collective backs on the product :cry:
Even when we try to contact Microsoft techs they don't have an answer either. The problem is that so many of our customers out their who are completely cluless as to Desktop Publishing get this $29.95 special software or in some cases it's bundled with something, and, get this, my BOSS even gives it away to our customers, touting it as the "coolest thing since sliced bread.."
And he wonders why I'm looking for another job :twisted:

Well I'll keep the offer under consideration, and if I ever find out how to make it work I'll report back.

Thanks, Sparky

Mac's forever!!! 8)

PS we have zero work also, that's why I'm online, normally I would be here after work on my home computer (it works better with Road Runner and OS X) Sooooo on with surfing....
