CIP3 PPF conversion for presses

[Stiv]

Currently using Rampage to make PPF then combining/converting to DMA for setting ink keys to an Akiyama press.

I am thinking that this takes too many steps and want to try to smooth it out. The conversion of the PPF can only be done one one workstation due to the software licensing. The program that makes the conversion is a clunky POS that I would like to get rid of.

I would think in this day and age that the press manufacturers would be able to come up with something other than a third party conversion. The Akiyama cannot use the PPF, and according to Akiyama the conversion is done at the server. Well that certainly oversimplifies the matter and throws it back into my lap.

So my question is how do you deliver the PPFs to your presses?
