Has anyone had any success using Nexus Manager over a VPN connection? I work from home and have a VPN which allows me to access all servers etc successfully. I can connect to the physical Nexus server using AFP and can access all the drives but I cannot get Nexus Manager to connect. Just...

That module wasn't included in our original quote but will ask about it when we go ahead with the trial. Thanks

Thanks Jose, that does seem to do exactly what we want. Not sure how a smart name can be applied to the Order ID but I'll guess we'll figure this out once we go ahead with the training/ demo install.

We currently do not have any kind of MIS. Each job is given a number by simply adding it to a list in Microsoft Excel which automatically assigns the next number. We’re having a trial of AE installed soon and would like it to auto generate the OrderID rather than us having to get one from our...

Thanks all. Glad to know it works successfully. We have 2 Mac already running 10.9 and thought that SMB2 would solve any issues. It doesn't. I know will eventually drop AFP but I think it'll be around for a while yet.

We currently have a Windows file server and are looking at adding ExtremeZ-IP to give us AFP support. However, we are also in the near future looking at installing Esko Automation Engine Server (which doesn't support AFP. My question is.... If the Mac users already have the AFP file server...

Can anyone recommend an A3 office printer. Must be on the network, PDF compatible and ideally be able to output from a network hot folder. Speed and colour aren't essential as this is only for content proofs of supplied PDF's for QC. We have a large format Epson driven by GMG for our actual...

From Packaging News Packaging design software specialist EskoArtwork has been sold to US industrial company Danaher in a deal worth €350m. The company is owned by Danish investment group Axcel and the deal is likely to be concluded in the first half of 2011. Danaher has revenues of $11.2bn...

We still use ArtPro as our preferred format internally. We only use DeskPack if we are sending out artwork to someone who cannot use ArtPro. DeskPack plugins have got much better but overall, ArtPro has much more features has a better ease of use (but that may just be because I use it more than...

Why do you mean by 'old'? Our press scheduling is still like this!

On another note. We have looked at Flexo tools but stick to manual retouching. No file should take any longer than an hour. A layered PSD always helps and with a few masks and adjustment layers you can get good results. If you need a minimum dot just add it manually, always looks better than...

You are not alone! We constantly have the same issue. We have our own flexo mx4 profile that we send to anyone that sends us a litho proof. If they don't use it we make sure we tell them that we will not match their proof. We also charge them for any retouching we need to do as a result if the...

We currently run 175# concentric on self adhesive vinyl (200 on normal White label papers). No icc profiles available though. Was calibrated using PressSync. Sorry, not much use but it was just to let people know that concentric is used at lower screenings for certain stocks. Kristian

We are packaging printers so we probably don't get the best usage in terms of ink savings as a lot of our work is spot colours. However, as said before, we based ours on press time savings. Customers are aware that we have the ability to change their artwork to assist with neutral gray areas...
