    prepress manager 5.0/ signa / meta not that 4.5 isn't working fine. I just like justifying my service contract. heck make it play a tune and call it 4.7 while we are at it what are they shipping for servers these days. we have the dell 2900. Have they moved to T610/T710's

    If it is not broke, why change it?
    Do you know of any of the benefits in pm 5? I heard it was to be out early this year. In HD time frame I guess that really means April/May.

    They will have bug fixes for sure, but major feature I expect is Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 fully utilized, including support for PDF/VT that has become ISO standard.

    Who knows, maybe they'll add more features, perhaps support for Acrobat X, etc..??

    You might be right as Heidleberg's year is actually starting in March/April so early year might still be summer time, sigh.

    well I should not have asked about new versions. jinxed myself. prosetter went down and one of my hard drives failed on the printready server. anyway they are shipping meta 8 on new installs now and upgrades will be soon so probably june. so july for me. also dont get the techs talking. they now have a barracuda backups solution and network analysis.

    We had our update installed last week. PM 5 and Signa 10. No standout new features. Yes the new PDF engine is there. Seems a little more responsive. But still putting in through its paces haven't really dug into the templates to see the differences.

    apparently heidelberg had planned on shipping the upgrades 2 months ago, but a barge sank on a canal in germany and blocked the canal for a few weeks.
