    We were using Safira Thermoplate PN very happily until Heidelberg switched plates on us rather suddenly to Thermoplate PN 101, saying that Thermoplate PNs were no longer available. Unfortunately, this was a setback for us: images deteriorate within 20k impressions (though most notably on...

    Prepress Manager 4.0 & Mac OS 10.6

    Is anybody running this combo? We tried it a couple of years ago and failed; we were told the Java versions weren't compatible. CS6 only wants OS 10.6, so we're jammed up here.
