Anyone using barcodes on their printed material ensure the integrity of the page/form sequence during booklet making? Just delving into a new Duplo model that has a barcode reader, and wondering if this a practical function to explore?

Yes, agree with all...square-edge for digital books of that size.... Ours in inline with a plockmatic, we also have one inline on duplo unit.

did this about a month ago....not a fan of the new side interface (actually takes up MORE display area_)....and the fact that it's harder to find jobs (unless you make a custom ALL filter). Also, filters do not remain 'active' so if you click around to different machines or 'queues' you need to...

Are you sure that 'micro' is what you are looking for? The '#' character synonymous with 'pound' or 'lb' - i.e. 80# Text or 80 lb Text is 'eighty pound text' - as a measure of paper weight... http://www.jampaper.com/paper-weight-chart.asp

Actually, That plugin IS in the demo, locatedin the OPTIONAL folder on the .dmg. Open the program and add it from the pref>export area....Demo just restricts you from setting a plate size....i think...

Another option might be THIS - http://www.excourse.com/presspercent/

Heidelberg has a software called Prepress Interface that converts the PPF files to the 'press language' you need, it also writes the files to the card reader.

Sounds 'maybe' like a permissions issue. (if you are logging into server with different credentials then the client)

I know they still answer the phones if you need support. Using v13 everyday here. I don't believe there is a non-ppc client for v11, actually not sure if it was 12 or 13 that was finally intel? When you say 'new apple server'....what OS NOW, (and what did you have before?) - the whole smb: vs...

Sound like you have the wrong stock (rev-collated) vs straight sequence? All the same stuff, just have to resequence and/or flip it...

If the plate image is not wearing down (scrubbed by excessive oscillation?) then surely a press issue here. I don't know all the proper terms...but I think the Fanatny rod needs adjustment or replaced?

Yeah, first sep shop I worked at...one of the strippers sent me out for a dot-stretcher 'cause the drum scanner operator cropped the scan too close and it wouldn't fit properly in the ruby mask he just cut. Just needed to get one or possibly two rows of dots wider...

In these cases, if you can't get NEW dots, you might have to break out the dot-stretcher tool...usually the maintenance person or shipping clerk probably knows where it is....(maybe)......

I have never heard of a 'non-photocopy' font, although, I have been told that you will get non-repro results if you print as 0% black on a white paper ;) Is the customer looking for something like a VOID pantograph? (when copied displays a pattern and/or text....)
