    3yrs ago when I graduated, i was using the first release of indesign and i made my dot-bomb buy it.

    When I preflighted, I told printers whom I was asking for quotes that the jobs would be built in indesign format (they didn't know they export to eps).

    We can do it for X in quark, they'd say. And they'd call back a few weeks later and inquire about the job. "I went with a printer that cared enough to purchase inDesign" i'd say.

    this happened a half dozen times. the odd thing was that for the most part, those same printers had indesign when i called for the next quotes...or if they didn't, they lied and scrambled to buy it.

    must've converted a dozen, i think, before I let on that you could export to .eps. hee hee.

    god bless adobe.
