    Editing Trim Box: Which software do you use?

    Although I can only speak directly to Apogee Impose and Preps, I assume most all imposition software use the trim box for page positioning within the imposition. Apogee has had a Acrobat Plugin for years call the Docubox Manager. It was used even before Apogee Impose was available. It works...

    To maximize your quality potential you must eliminate "quality"

    A long time ago I was honored to meet a brilliant gentleman. I don't call him brilliant just because we share the same name, spelled correctly I might add, but because his approach to quality revolutionized the manufacturing definition of quality. The following is copied from an article about...

    Evolution of Color Proofs

    I doubt you'll find any videos. These types of proofs were being used long before you could just pull out your phone an shoot a quick video. Back then it would have required a actual video camera recording to VHS tape. Quite the production.

    Evolution of Color Proofs

    I did a quick Google search for 3M Matchprint and it came up with a handful of images. Same thing when I searched for Dupont Chromalin. The trick I guess is remembering the manufacture. I even found a few pictures of Dupont Dylux.

    Offset & digital combination

    What you are wanting to do is what I would commonly call a "tip-in". Unlike saddle stich books that must have the total number of pages divisible by 4, a perfect bound book can have a single leaf (tip in). The problem is not so much the printer unless they do their own perfect binding. Not may...

    Apogee Prepress 6

    Actaully what is happening in Apogee is that it sees the trap flag as on and will not trap the files using trapping in the PDF render. That way it does not try to trap the existing traps. But it will render the file. It just post a warning telling you that trapping has been turned off.

    Apogee 8 impose, Anybody using it?

    In the strictest sense Apogee Impose can not mix bound and unbound work in the same job or on the same sheet. However it can in all likely hood build the imposition you need.

    Apogee 7.1 Client on 3.5 system

    To tell the truth I am surprised you can connect at all. If you are running Apogee 3.5 you need to be running a 3.5 Client. Only Apogee 6.0 and above support the latest Mac OS. If you want to use this hardware you will need to use Parallels and run the a 3.5 PC Client. Phil Crosby - Senior...

    Auto Choke is not explicitly located any where in the trap parameter set. There are however setting that control how big the auto choke is and when it takes place.
