If you are printing from Printdrive - make sure you are not printing one side only - you can select which side or both in the left field with a blue checkmark - also make sure you are printing flats and not pages.

My company has finally decided to go thermal and chemical less/free. Asking for anyone using Agfa Azura TS, Kodak Trillian SP or Fuji Brillia HD plates to give me an estimate on chemical usage and costs. Thanks

Had a meeting with Kodak today - they say their boxes are not Screen. We are looking at Avalon running Azura TS. Any thoughts?

We were told that a plugin called P2A - Preps to Apogee is implemented into 7 for the seamless transfer of Preps Templates into Apogee - we have literally thousands of templates that we need. Just finding out about the Windows client and the Edit Impose - we are 100% Mac-based and would HATE to...

Anyone using an Avalon N setter, but not using Agfa plates? If yes, what plates? I've been told that as long as the laser can handle it, you can use any competitors plates with the same rating: 830 nm Thermal.

I'm getting proposals from Screen to swap out my ApogeeX front end for their Trueflow system. Anyone using Trueflow? I've seen their webinar and I have to say the GUI is lacking and the whole interface seemed complicated. Any opinions or advice? Thanks

Hey Folks, Having trouble sending supplied DCS files through Apogee X 4.0. I've tried Illustrator - send as separations; InDesign - export as .ps, pdf; Dropped the file into Presep at Apogee - no success. The file will not go through PDF Render. I know of one service bureau we've used which is...

Thanks Colorblind. I would like to give this a try, but where do I get the latest Client version from?

Anyone using Snow Leopard and Apogee 4.0? My ApogeeX Client v1.38.38 will not recognize the volumes on the desktop. ie. HotFolderRoot and DataStore. If I try to open a PDF from pagestore, I get an error that it can't find the servers. Is it a networking thing or just plain incompatibility...

Thanks. I knew it was a networking issue, but didn't know the way around it. Any chance you can give me detailed info on the steps you've described? Appreciate it!

I have ApogeeX clients installed on several G5's and they work great. I've got one client that doesn't work at all. You can log into it, but no jobs appear and no icons show up in any of the windows. We've called TAC, but they didn't help. Any ideas?

Trying to nest multiple PDF 1.4 files in ApogeeX. What's happening is the bounding boxes of the customer supplied PDF's are blocking each other out. Therefore not all of the carton is visible in preview. This is the first attempt at nesting supplied PDF files – no problem when we generate our...

So helpful! Now if only I could read German!

Re: Strange PDF Issue with Onyx - Any Ideas? Are you viewing the pdf in Acrobat? Sounds like 'Overprint Preview' is on. Check it off – then see how the file looks.

Re: Users of Kodak Thermal Direct plate, please reply! Thanks Jackie. So you were using Thermal Direct and then switched to Sword? How long were you running Direct? How did they wash up on press?
