I am curios is everyone who is using Prinergy also using single page PDF's, like Rampage workflow or there are multi page PDF users too? What is recommended by Kodak? I can see advantage of single page workflow when it comes time to replace pages, but other than that, I can not see any other...

Good article on Ars Technica about Quark demise. Love the alien zapping the text box (who remembers alien?) and love the conclusion with warning to Adobe. How QuarkXPress became a mere afterthought in publishing | Ars Technica

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone has any info on Mavericks support for latest version of Printready 2012. Major changes with SMB and Java are thing of the past so if 2012 works on Mountain Lion, I believe there is a good chance of working on Mavericks, but I am hesitant to upgrade before...

Does anybody have workaround for default Pitstop 11 action "Add marks to trim box". By default, action adds crop marks to trim box and offsets marks 1/16" which effectively reduces your bleed to 1/16". I did not find any way to change this behaviour. Our default bleed is 1/8" and we would want...

Anyone with experience with RAL? I am running into many walls as soon as I mention RAL with our vendors. Basically everybody refers me to free online charts and conversion software but all that free conversion and files are doing it with RAL K7 classic system. I ordered kit from RAL and got...

Hi, I've got demo for object screening and am having issues setting up stochastic screening in plugin. Conventional works fine but stochastic will not go green in plugin (we have stochastic licensed and in use in workflow). Anyone with Object screening experience care to share is there a trick...

Anyone with same setup? Is it possible to utilize 9900 Spectro to check every proof and "certify" it. It is offered by most of the third party rips but I wanted to drive it directly from Meta without third party rip. Everything works fine but I can not figure out if this is possible. All I need...

Hi, We have latest release of Prinect workflow, 2010 and older version 3.something of Ink Key presenting software. They work just fine however older ink presenting seems to have brain of his own and does not respect colour bar assignment from the workflow. In the workflow we are using "new"...

While I am sure official support for Lion is coming at a later date from Heidelberg, has anyone actually tested to see if cockpit runs on Lion without major issues? If you tested, please post your experience. We are getting soon new Mac which is preloaded with Lion so I have to make a decision...

There was separate thread with interesting tidbits about Pressroom running CTP plates vs Prepress here : http://printplanet.com/forums/prepress-workflow-discussion/26278-pressmen-platemakers. What is your opinion?

Does anyone have insite in Screens CTP device Platerite 8800 N series and their capability to run 4000 dpi. -Is 4000 dpi both ways? -Does it slow down the speed of imaging or it's the same as e.g. 2400 dpi? Thanks

Does anyone know of easy way of offsetting crop marks or Cut Marks in Signa? SIgna is such a smart system, much smarter than Preps, you would think it has automatic way of offsetting marks that is tied to bleed for example so if you say in Master pages bleed is 0.25" instead of standard 0.125"...

Do you use Jura CTP? How reliable are these machines? Thanks

I am curious what Pantone Library are you using in your Prinect system? We've been using Pantone Coated and Uncoated for long time and we simulate Uncoated on Epson this way. Recently our sister shop changed to Pantone Color Bridge Coated and Pantone Solid to Process Coated libraries, instead of...

Last time it was mentioned on the forum, we've heard that there will be major update by the end of year. We are getting close to it now hopefully. ANyone heard when it's due and what's coming? Any rumours about variable support?

Heidelberg's brand Saphira is actually Agfa plate, correct? If so, does anyone know which plate is it or they are branding all of them. Does Heidelberg co-brand any other plate except Agfa? Does anyone have experience with these Saphira plates and 10 micron? I can't find much info online and I...

All the apps in CS5 got upgrade except for Acrobat, it stayed at version 9. Considering how good upgrade from 8 to 9 was, I was excited, guessing what else could have improved in version 10, than I got disappointed when Adobe announced Acrobat is staying at version 9. On Mac, one of the major...

We are looking to buy new Epson 9900, we have full Printready 4.5 with Meta 7.5 workflow and are driving Epson 9800 right now. I would like to know if we can utilize expanded gamut of 9900 with Orange and Green from Meta. I've been told that Spot colors are converted to CMYK in workflow, which...
