Here's a question to the experienced audience. Given the Esko tools available in Illustrator now, How comfortable is everyone with working a job completely in CS4 directly through to tiffs using BS without the use of PackEdge or Artpro? If you have licenses of either or both high-end editors...

How does the prepress provider today deal with clients who would rather not view PDFs with proper separations or overprint preview turned on? We have a pretty complete Esko suite of tools and workflows, but the client population has gone from bad to worse in the working knowledge of actually...

OK, here's the million dollar question. What is Esko going to do about the text engine in PackEdge? Is the Artpro/Packedge common PDF editor going to have a new one when introduced? We need live text in normalized pdf files for a number of reasons, most importantly the round trip scenario to...

We are getting quite a few CS4 Illustrator files with placed photoshop files that have vector smart object layers referring back to another Illustrator file. Would really like to keep as many vector objects as possible in the Esko normalized pdf file. I know it is convenient for the designer to...

Finally getting rid of the CRTs on our workstations on both PCs and Macs. Looking for suggestions on decent flat panel displays from 20 - 24".

Any Esko users have experience using Kodak workflow products? Looking for comparisons from real end users who have worked in both systems for complex packaging flexo work. We have been using Esko tools from Illustrator client files for years. Does the Kodak suite of tools work in a similar way...

Anyone have suggestions for a true 1200 ppi proofer for proofing 1-bit tiffs to transparent overlays? We have been using Tiff Pager to put pdf wrappers around each tiff and proofing to an Epson 7800 through an Oris system. Real slow and ink always has drying issues. Recently purchased a new HP...

Hey All, We are looking for a larger machine to replace one of our HP 1055 workhorses. Would like it to be 60 inches. We currently RIP and send directly to 3 1055 600 DPI proofers for content from our FlexRip via RTL. Is there something newer offered that works will with a FlexRip? Thanks

Anyone have issues with saving CS3 files with Leopard? Seems sometimes the file you work on will not necessarily get updated on each save. Have not had this issue with any other workstation other than those with Leopard.

How cool is this? Check it out. http://www.esko.com/MKT-Web-Files/BackStage/BackStage_Viewer/The_BackStage_Viewer_JPGcompr.html Wonder how much they want for it.

I am interested in printing a 40 page publication 8.5x11 - 4 color cover, and black body throughout. Document built in Indesign. Small run, about 1,000. Last time I did this it was completely conventional offset with all the drama and preproduction necessary at that time. Any suggestions on...

Anybody out there with the new install? We are looking to upgrade soon. Feedback from those who are learning the new system would be really helpful.
