Although I can only speak directly to Apogee Impose and Preps, I assume most all imposition software use the trim box for page positioning within the imposition. Apogee has had a Acrobat Plugin for years call the Docubox Manager. It was used even before Apogee Impose was available. It works...

A long time ago I was honored to meet a brilliant gentleman. I don't call him brilliant just because we share the same name, spelled correctly I might add, but because his approach to quality revolutionized the manufacturing definition of quality. The following is copied from an article about...

I doubt you'll find any videos. These types of proofs were being used long before you could just pull out your phone an shoot a quick video. Back then it would have required a actual video camera recording to VHS tape. Quite the production.

I did a quick Google search for 3M Matchprint and it came up with a handful of images. Same thing when I searched for Dupont Chromalin. The trick I guess is remembering the manufacture. I even found a few pictures of Dupont Dylux.

What you are wanting to do is what I would commonly call a "tip-in". Unlike saddle stich books that must have the total number of pages divisible by 4, a perfect bound book can have a single leaf (tip in). The problem is not so much the printer unless they do their own perfect binding. Not may...

The most recent version of Parallels Desktop for Mac (v17) works on the M1 platform and supports Win 10 with no problem.

At a minimum you need a loop back adapter for the Apogee Server to at least think it is on a network. Phil Crosby - Senior Trainer - Agfa Graphics North America

What you need to use is a file mark called HalftonInfo.eps. When the file is rendered it will give you all the screening information. Phil Crosby - Senior Trainer - Agfa Graphics North America

Agfa does not have a thermal version of the Palladio. We now sell the Avalon N4. This unit is the same format size as the Palladio.You will also need to purchase our latest front end, Apogee Prepress. The PDF Rip was retired many years ago. Contact your local Agfa rep to get details on the...

Actaully what is happening in Apogee is that it sees the trap flag as on and will not trap the files using trapping in the PDF render. That way it does not try to trap the existing traps. But it will render the file. It just post a warning telling you that trapping has been turned off.

Actually the Palladio is a SCSI device.

In the strictest sense Apogee Impose can not mix bound and unbound work in the same job or on the same sheet. However it can in all likely hood build the imposition you need.

Apogee Impose in Prepress 8 has full support for web printing as well as special covers and unbound folded work. Time to take another look.

The PDF Render (aka Adobe PDF Print Engine) is the "ripping" engine of Apogee Prepress. A Manage system can have up two two PDF Renders. The second would come as part of what is called the "Additonal Output Capacity" option. If you have questions regarding your quote you need to talk to you...
