Duly noted, and thanks again!

Is it worth the price tag if all we need from it is the barcoding?

I'm sorry to hear it, but appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately we're not Switch users, so I'll have to look for another solution. For background, we have a vendor trying to sell us Ultimate ImpoStrip for variable barcoding, but that application duplicates the imposition functionality (some of...

I'm trying to use PitStop Pro (V23)'s Add Data Matrix action to create a 2D code containing sheet number, sheet count and our job number to add to booklet impositions, for finishing on our newly-acquired Ibis Smart-binder. I've worked out the basic 2D code setup, but the baked-in variables are...

I've got a P9000 I'm using for color prints from a 36" roll and imposition proofs on 42" x 33" sheets. That sheet's getting harder to come by and we're looking to switch to 40" x 28", but I can't seem to find where I tell the printer that's the new size, and my proofs come out offset like it's...

Thank you, I'll start playing around with that! -TJ

I'd like to automate archiving for the digital print side of my shop, as our workflow doesn't bring us back to Prinergy at the time of releasing a job to production (where we'd have an opportunity to start a timer linked to the "completed" job status). So there's a thing I feel I should be able...

My experience is limited to Preps, Metrix and SignaStation; of the three, I recommend Metrix. My Preps experience is at least a few versions old, but I don't remember having ever liked their interface; I've been working in SignaStation for the last two years, and I'd say it does 90% of what I...

It's not my favorite program, but if your page counts were equal (or you could add blanks to make them so), you could impose them cut-and-stack in Signastation. If Metrix can do it now, if investigate that route first.

I started learning imposition in Metrix with a Prinergy workflow (OSX), and have since spent the last year and a half working in Prinect/Signa, also in OSX. On the imposition end, I find Signa to be a little too "helpful" in telling you how many pieces up will go on a given press sheet size...

I briefly used Preps in school, spent a year doing production imposition in Metrix a couple years after that, and have now been imposing in Signastation for a little over a year, with a year's break doing other work in between. That is to say, I can't offer a direct comparison, but felt I had...

I periodically re-read David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets–"dull" isn't an adjective I'd choose, although Simon's portrait of Baltimore is less than complimentary in its own way...

Just finished The Hunt for Red October...basically an IKEA catalog of military hardware with some people running around inside it. I'll stick with Tom Clancy-based movies from here on out and take a pass on his books.

Hi, all! I signed on a while back and have already benefited from a couple of pointers here, but haven't been by to sound off on this thread yet. I don't spend an awful lot of time trawling the forums, but here's me: I'm a prepress operator with a little (rapidly-fading) mailing experience...

I'm trying to create a pair of Pitstop actions that will remap an FPO spot color to a non-printing separation and back, and am finding that the same spot color with the same name and the same CMYK build is not being handled consistently depending on where the spot was generated. For a bit of...

I've started using Printready 3.5 and am curious if it's possible to prevent its spot-color-to-process processes from converting a custom dieline/FPO spot color to process on me. Any thoughts? Many thanks, TJ
