Strong liquor should be added to the list IF: 1) You are a freelancer, 2) You work in-house for a large corporation, or 3) You work in advertising. I prefer bourbon or scotch but gin and tonic is a welcome change of pace. Coffee is required no matter what your working environment. I consider a french press required for my workspace.

In regards to those nasty little section numbers, you also have the option to use absolute numbers by including a + and leave the range open ended with the -. In other words, +2- will output the doc from the second page to the end.

There's no reason the printer can't do the imposition for you. It just might cost your employer a small amount more. Though I've never been charged for that service by a printer.

In the end, you have better control over it if you just draw the lines yourself. No blending modes required.

comment What hardware do I need to work with very large 300dpi illustrator files?
Cheaper only if you have lots of free time. Consider that you might spend an extra $1000-1500 to get one that's ready to go (it's been a while since I ran the numbers). You have to calculate that against the projects you're setting aside. The numbers never work out for me. But every time I see a screaming fast Hackintosh, I start to wonder again :)

Is that still true with the CC version? In any case, it will certainly benefit from the blazing fast bus speed and copious RAM.

comment What size, spacing and baseline shift for tm and numerals in superscript?
I wish there was a formula! You just have to find the right ratios for your most oft used typefaces and set up styles in your favorite app that can be imported.
