My knowledge was gained through working with Brisque for many years, having to troubleshoot issues with little local support due to our location, many hours spent on newsgroup forums such as alt.print.prepress where many experts lurked, and by picking the brains of Brisque experts such as Heinz...

OK, so after doing a bit of research from old discussion boards, it turns out that you can in fact accept 1 bit Tiffs from other workflows providing you are using a TSP board which you are. However, re-reading your post it looks as if you may be running your entire workflow on Brisque, which...

Assuming that you are intending to use the Brisque just as a driver for the Lotem, to output from another workflow: The question is, can you even expose direct from the Brisque if the files being exposed are not CT/LW or NCT/NLW with the Linework file being a matching resolution for the Lotem...

Scoring should always be on the outside of the fold, regardless of the printing method.

Well Magnus is my name for this group, because I run a Magnus (400Q) while 59 is the year I came into the world :)

Silver (Pantone 877) can sometimes be more effective that white as metallics have greater opacity

We use a local screen printer to apply re-moistenable glue. If you need peel & seal, that's a whole lot more complicated.

It depends on whether you are charging a rush fee to deter customers from sending you rush jobs, or if it's to cover additional costs. If it's a deterrent, then 25% sounds quite reasonable, but if it is to cover costs, you should calculate how much overtime pay you had to pay, plus any extra...

You could create a Pitstop action to add this information.

We output PPML from Smartstream Designer for VDP on our Ricoh with Fiery. Note that the 3 files (PPML & 2 x PDFs) need to be zipped into a single archive, and this must be done on a PC. Mac Zip files will fail.

It wouldn't surprise me if Heidelberg had some customised firmware which prevented the machine being used with any rip other than Prinect.

Is your stock stored in the same room as the machine? Has the stock been in the room sufficient time to condition prior to printing? If the stock is stored in a different location, it should be unwrapped and moved into the print room and allowed to condition. Lighter weight stocks are...

The font in the page you attached is not embedded. I suspect that the font is embedded in other pages within the amalgamated document, but not in this page (which was created in MS Word) As the font is embedded in the document (but not in the page), the font is not being flagged as not embedded...

Before looking at the lasers, first check mechanicals, particularly check that vacuum pump is working and all vacuum holes in the drum are clear.

Any of the many MIS solutions for printers can capture times and allow scheduling of jobs. These are intended to manage the entire printing process from customer order through to delivery, so may be more complex than what you need to manage Prepress only. If you need simple task management only...

Once upon a time, Creo Spire was the Rip of choice for digital presses, with Harlequin coming in a close 2nd

As the 27" iMac has been discontinued, we replaced an old one with a Mac Mini M2 Pro paired with a 28" Samsung and a 24" Dell monitor. It's a great little machine. If you need 16:10 screens, you could use the Dell 30". IMO the Apple displays are overpriced which is why we didn't go that way.

This is called crash folding, small quantities can be done by hand, there are machines to do larger quantities, check with your local mailing house if they can do this for you.

We have a collaborative approach, where press and prepress openly communicate to resolve any issues. Prepress and sales however is another matter.
