Hi Martin. Thank you for the reply. Do you know if #2 can generate the Workplace Interface File format which is the file format that Pressroom Manager generates after receiving the CIP3 file from prepress? Thanks, pd

Hi everyone, For those of you who have Heidelberg presses AND generate CIP3 ink data from your prepress workflow, what software do you use to process the ink data from prepress for import into your presses? I know of 3 products: 1. Prinect Pressroom Manager from Heidelberg 2. PressPercent from...

Hover your mouse over the "Review and sign" button. What is the URL that pops up?

I am assuming that you and the publisher are using the same version of QXP? If so, are you both on the same platform (Mac? Windows?). It's been quite a while since I've had to use QuarkXPress so my memory is fuzzy. Could there be a Quark preference setting that is configured differently between...

Try the "Check for Complex Pages" action list. This...might...be what you're looking for? It doubt it will help with images but for vector content, it might. Best regards, pd

I agree with @maxon. If the problem were due to underexposure, you would be seeing the issue shown in the video in all non-image areas and not just on certain parts of the plate. Roller problem?

Both of my steel rule die vendors have a minimum proximity tolerance of 3/32" (2.38125mm) though they recommend 1/8" (3.175mm).

It's worth noting that Canva's 'flatten PDF' option converts the entire file (including text) into a single image.

I use AppleScript quite a bit to automate desktop and InDesign tasks. Most, if not all of it, could probably be rebuilt in JavaScript or other language but I understand AppleScript way better than JavaScript.

I also use Montax. It has a nice feature set (including hot folder capabilities) for under $600. One possible downside is that it is only available for Windows.

Oh well I guess. It was a thought.

@abc - not everyone has a modern workflow which provides JDF/XML capabilities. For those who don't have such workflows, my idea doesn't add a step but rather speeds up the step of drawing layouts by hand. pd

Would you be able to upload a couple of the faulty pages (please remove any confidential info of course)? I'd like to try them here and see what I get.

I guess I am still not explaining well enough about what I am asking so again, I apologize for any confusion. What I am asking is NOT about how someone actually imposes a job using whatever software they have. My question is about how a job planner (or similar position) shows a prepress person...

On those 13 pages, what didn't print correctly? Was the missing(?) content part of the static background or the variable part?

So the composed file looks correct on screen (including the 13 pages that printed incorrectly)?

Hi SoggyWinter, My apologies for the confusion. What I am asking is, if you had an APP that you could open and with a few pieces of information, generate a layout that would show prepress how to impose the job you planned, what features would you want to see in it? Best regards, pd

Hi all, If software (used only by job planners) existed solely for the purpose of generating paper layouts (to show prepress folks how to impose a job), what features would you want to see? Be as detailed as possible. Thanks, pd

You might find some information here: https://eco3.com/products/n95-vcf?tab=specifications Anything beyond that, you may need to contact ECO3 support.

Is that plate cleaner compatible with the Eclipse plate (according to ECO3)? We use Antura plate cleaner.
