This question goes out to all senior Prinergy users. We have been using Prinergy now, for almost 9 months and we question the use of doing a 1st refine and then a 2nd refine. I know that there a certain resons to do a 2nd refine, for example if you need to map spot colors. But some of our operators have been doing the a 1st refine, and then a second refine to trap the file. Some operators have been going straight to a refine and trap, I guess I am saying a second refine, but skipping the 1st refine template.
For Consistancy, we have told all operators to always do a 1st refine no trap, then do a 2nd refine with mapping spot colors and trapping. Is this a waste of time? Will we get better results, less errors if we follow this routine? I know many factors depend on this, being the complexity of the file, does it have ransparency, multiple colors? The reason we told all operators to follow this rule was because operator "A" would refine a job one way, then operator "B" would refine it another way, maybe adjustinga setting here and there, and then forgetting to write it down on the job ticket. Make sense?
All advice is welcome. Thanks to all that respond in advance!
