Hey Point We are working with dielines the same way in the native application. Select stroke overprint. But it would be better to have an automated step which would take the dieline colour and overprint. Not a huge time save but could be if we forget to overprint a dieline or say a line in the...

Hey Zombie do you have any further details I am not exactly understanding what you mean?

Anyone know how the colour mapping works. Or even if you can automatically have special colours overprint, like dieline? Thanks, p

Hey prepper Thanks for the feedback on Navigator. We are still looking deeper into Navigator. Looks like we would need more then there basic RIP and instead more of a workflow which Navigator is. They are telling me you can submit native files directly to thier system and it will automatically...

Hi All Anyone using this workflow in commercial printing environment. Just wondering how it stacks up against the usual prepress workflow (prinery, printready, nexus). Thanks, p

Dan, awesome thanks for the specs. Now I can give them some real world feedback. p

Hey Jeff Ok I just tried it out and creating a new basic workflow with checking CIP3 and it works. Very strange but good. We have been manually remerging CIP data from individual seps to a composite file. Time consuming as you can tell. Thanks for this, beers on me! p

Hey Jeff Interesting. I usually create workflows from scratch. What is flaky about it are the links or connections between the icons. I added in the oppo merge, ps interepter, eps converstion which connect from the workflow icon but they do not link between themselves. This might be why when I...

Hey Dan Thanks for the info. We have been trying to figure out what version of Preps to get. The OPI feature only comes with the pro version. I was worried the low rez link file, of some sort, might need to be placed in Preps then swapped at Nexus. But since you are using JDF then I don't see...

If XMPie is anything like Xerox process manager turn off auto fit. I found this will shrink the artwork even if it doesn't need to shrink the artwork to fit the job. Cropmarks I am having the same problem. But somehow I got it to work. The last time it worked I chose the cropmark then selected...

Jeff!! Ok it worked. How? I don't get it. The one difference I see is that your module icon has a green part to the arrow part of the icon. If you can explain in detail it would help greatly. Thanks p

Ok I just checked the error message I get is "1: -Bad Input" p

Hey Jeff I've tried something similar at my end. We only have classic rip at the moment. When I try to put the CIP3 below the make seps like you, I get an error message. Plus we are on a old version (8.1). I will try again just in case. Thanks, p

Hey Dan Thanks for the info. Your setup would be similar to ours except we have 3 users. Curious about preps. Since you output to JDF you don't use OPI. Do you have preps plus? Also do you happen to know your hardware specs for you nexus computer? p

Hey Jeff Thanks for your input. Would you be able to tell me what your hardware specs are for your 1 nexus box? We currently only have 3 operators using Nexus but with all the raster files and old hardware it bogs down quite a bit at times. p

@ Jeff and Dcurry Just curious do you have one Nexus computer processing all your tasks? Meaning ingesting files, proofing, and then final output (plating) I am trying to figure out if we can go with one install of Nexus with PDF processor instead of 2. Currently we have 2 Nexus's with one...

Anyone know how to do this? p

@ Sev interesting. Well I found a text file within nexus which contains the values of the user colours. I'm not so concerned with the way they will display or proof more how they will overprint. I still do not understand why or how dieline is mapped to the default colour? Any idea how it...

Hey MrDHG Thanks for this info. I created a test job and added "Dieline" with 100% cyan. When I ran it for some reason it mapped this colour to another value in Nexus (100 m 100 y). Not sure how it is doing this? Do you? Does Nexus have a default colour for Dieline which it remaps the colour...

Yes I know Signa is not a rip. And yes you can produce separations without a rip. You just cannot produced screened raster images, this is what the rip does. Thanks for your input. p
