I'm new to Esko AE10 and I looking for some tips when using copy/move and markfile to overwrite previous existing tiffs- not to append _c001 to the file name? The choices are Error task or append name and that seems bizarre not to have overwrite in a location as a choice. Second question, is...

I've created a string extract SmartName "Month" to produce the month number (01,02,... 12) but I'm not a java scripter so I'm not having luck creating a jscript that looks up my string extract "Month" (03) for a Smartname "MonthName." Can someone assist? It would seem that Esko could probuce...

We are trying to come up with a way to have a ink color of die that is in the designer ink book to be set to overprint in the imposition PDF when sent to be rendered. Right now Esko tells us that the default behavior for AE10 is if an ink is set to knockout then even if the type is changed in...

You will like Apogee once you are familiar with it.

Thanks Hamid Thanks Hamid Thanks for the sales attempt but this neither helpful OR needed by users of Agfa systems. No shop will suddenly dump an expensive graphics system over another for an this type of issue. If Esko is so much better why do they need a forum on Printplanet? Post your sales...

Oldschool is correct attached is the plus window. You can add either the name or IP address (preferred) or Try the find button.

PrintDrive (Queue manager) that you use to plate sends the "matched" media back into Apogee. If there is no loaded (matched) media in PrintDrive there won't be any media loaded in PrintDrive TP (Apogee's task processors) in your system overview in your client. Attached my settings in PrintDrive...

If the client has a Export TP you can export a PDF to your catcher's hot folder from the run list with no color management. If you are using a renderer in the flow it will apply color management since it has to convert RGB to CMYK in the RIP. The press TP is where the profile for the output...

We have 2 items which are we fail in our preflight on PDFs: short bleed and missing fonts. If the client supplies a PDF with either we stop the process right there and consult them to replace their file with a correct file. If the PDF has cropped image boundaries you can't extend them without...

How do you keep out the riffraff?

We use the Monitor under Prepress Manager and under resources > Cleanup Dangling Resources. We have this setup as a scheduled task in Windows to run twice every 24 cycle, or we run it manually if there is ever something wonky going on with the server. Apogee 4 likes to be rebooted at least once...

Have you tried using both the IP address or server name and have you tried to "find" the server when you first start the client? In version 2-ish I seem to remember you had to mount the Apogee datastore folder on the primary server on your client workstation prior to starting the client to be...

Prepress changes Prepress changes Sorry to say this but prepress is the one area in printing that requires employees to "endure" change. If you are resistant to change you are in the line of work. Not to be harsh, but some employees I've managed have to be reminded from time to time we don't...

We have done a ton of research looking for how to get the Quark style print marks .mrk file to work when porting it over from the Mac to the PC for InDesign, so PrintPlanet gurus are my last hope. When we print out a page using the mark we get PAGEMARKS DEFINITION FILE ERROR instead. Below is...

Apogee 7 can be virtualized but is still 32bit.

Apogee client Apogee client Have you tried mounting the datastore on your primary server volume? It's the way we had to do it in 2.5

Linux Linux I would love it if they would virtualize Apogee, but alas they use hardware/dongle licensing so no virtualization any time soon.

If you use a tiff workflow you can hook the platesetter to any front end. I would however recommend looking at direct driving the platesetter with Apogee. It's a solid workflow and works well as an integrated system. We had the equipment in this photo prior to closing.

EPS Marks EPS Marks We use Preps strictly as a template maker in Apogee. We build them in Preps and choose them in the Preps template manager in the workflow. I need to replace the marks that are already in the templates with an altered one.
