    Esko vs Hybrid Workflow

    Here's another vote for Hybrid! Esko as a company is too difficult to deal with and their top-of-the-line products are not keeping up. The upper management has destroyed the once great company and now they can't properly support the stuff they do sell.

    What's New from EskoArtwork

    History has not shown this to be the case. It will be interesting to see if anything changes. Most of us are not very hopeful.

    What's New from EskoArtwork

    Not many people left at Esko! The upper management has lost focus on how to treat customers and deliver products / services. They just cut a lot of the people that did the work while promoting some that do nothing.

    Imposition suggestions for digital press run

    Depending on the available data, this is likely something that Automation Engine can handle. I've used to to piece together files from various components in the past.

    Best Solution for building Automation

    Esko's solution is typically more flexible. Prinergy was written by engineers for engineers. It works, but it has more limitations than Automation Engine and WebCenter.

    Anyone still using a Postscript workflow?

    There are still some old Nexus systems out there being run with postscript, but most of them have migrated to PDF workflows in Nexus and then to Automation Engine.

    does esko cdi have 5080 dpi option ?

    Sorry. that was a copy/paste mistake. I was answering a similar question elsewhere and pasted the original incorrect info not my reply: Newer Esko CDIs can be equipped to run up to 5080, but 4000dpi is the standard because more than 4000dpi doesn't yield better results in most cases. For some...

    does esko cdi have 5080 dpi option ?

    Newer Esko CDIs can be equipped to run up to 5080, but 4000dpi is the standard because more than 4000dpi doesn't yield better results in most cases. For some special cases (typically security printing) You can special order a CDI up to 10,000 dpi.

    Adding Bleed and Viewing the bleed afterwards

    You could always add bleed in AE via the prepare for gang run tickets. This adds bleed to your PDFs and therefore it happens BEFORE the RIP and can be viewed long before the print stage.

    Online Proof Software

    Is ESKO running away from the commercial print market?

    Pack Edge and Art Pro traditionally have done the same thing just on different platforms. ArtPro+ is being developed to replace both of them with all the same functionality but able to run on newer operating system and and on Mac or Windows workstations. If you haven't taken a look at ArtPro+...

    What's The Difference Between Automation Engine & Switch?

    As already mentioned, Switch is an Enfocus product and Esko owns Enfocus. In fact, much of the preflight capability inside of Automation Engine is the Enfocus Pitstop Engine. Esko adds to that with other workflow controls and non Enfocus action lists. Both systems are capable of handling all of...

    Esko Visualizer

    Do you have the Esko standalone app called "Studio Toolkit"? If so, you can edit the orientation of the collada file in it. Otherwise, if you have Studio Toolkit for Boxes and the CAD file or drawing, you can refold the box and select a different panel as the base.

    This is an old thread but this is very doable in Automation Engine and has been since version 12.1. It was doable earlier but the combine pages function makes it MUCH easier. No action list needed. 1) Duplicate the "original" (will call it "copy"). 2) Remove the layers from "original" 3)...

    Workflow vs Kodak

    Personally, I've worked extensively with several iterations of SCITEX, ORIS, DALiM, Rampage, Apogee (agfa), NEXUS (artwork systems - now Esko), Automation Engine (formerly backstage esko - now esko artwork). I have also played with prinergy and rampage. To say one is better than another is...
