Good read, and thanks again Roy. We have been using our "standard" .stb for some time now, the issue isn't getting the standards set though. We have current jobs that have already been plotted(to DWF), but will continue to be plotted moving forward after the switch from DWF to PDF. A lot of our jobs are massive, and take years to complete. I wish it was as easy as "start using these settings on the next job", but it's not.
I didn't intend for our old Oce server to die on me. Switching to their latest server/processing software has greatly degraded the plot quality of DWF's. Alas, we have no choice but to switch to PDF. Not that I don't think we should have done that a long time ago anyways.
