Got it up and running so thanks for all the tips. When I started the "Manager" app all of the licenses were written in italics, not the regular font - does it mean anything? R.

I do have a switch handy. Will try that today. Thnx everybody! Would I need to change the ip's, host files etc?

HI, We've recently moved to a new office but had to leave the platemaker and the Agfa Prepress PC behind until the place is ready. Is it possible to run the Prepress software without any network, no local; no Internet. Just the server pc left alone with the platemaker? I tried to start the...

HI, We are recycling our broken Xerox 550 and I'm having trouble disconnecting the high capacity feeder from the main unit. I've looked for some setup guides but found nothing. Anyone with experience of taking these apart? R

So, I should really have 6mm on that end, 3mm of white and 3mm of the inside bleed, so in a situation of joint pictures, they will match nicely when one opens the book regularly, not crack open the book completely and break the spine. Or not?

That's the job! I can save one sheet as a template and re-use it for more section if needed. Cool! and thanks

Where is that option, sorry? I can only change bleed with white arrow on individual pages, not the whole imposition...

I actually couldn't find the bleed just for spine side. Or maybe I'm missing something, I'm on 7.1

True, you can specify separate bleed for all sides, but they're not "facing pages" aware - there's no inside/outside just L/R so I would have to change left or right depending if it's front or back of the sheet. Aaaa well.

HI, Just asking the experts on Preps layout. My finishers ask me to do a layout for perfect bound book but for the inside bleed to have to printing included. So no bleed on the inside edge but keep the distance of 3mm. Allegedly it's better for gluing not to have the printing where the pages are...

Cool, thnx for the answer R.

Thnx, any ballpark figure for a licence? I couldn't find anything online. R.

Hi, Another noobie question for Preps experts. What's the correct setup for page size for Ryobi SRA1 press with print area approx 850x615mm, not centred on a sheet (there's smaller margin on grip edge). Do I create the page size as SRA1 (900x700) and create "Media" with some kind of margins or...

Hi, We're getting new Polar 115 machine which suppose to work with JDF files for cutting programmes. Anyone have any experience with this,? Can I just load jdf file "printed" from Preps or do I need some extra software in-beetwen? I've never done it so any advice will be appreciated. R.

I got it eventually, I didn't have my folio's applied, thus no page numbers were present. All works now, lightning fast comparing to manual imposition in InDesign :-)) Cheers R.

Hi DCurry Thnx for the reply, I've started using preps couple of months ago only so still I'd ask silly questions: how do I anchor the mark to a page(s) on a sheet? I've created one and anchored to page foot but it disappeared, probably jumped somewhere I don't see it :-((( R.

Hi, I'm trying to place a mark that will print pdf page number next to the page on a layout. The job is 192 book, perfect bound with 16p sections and the finishing company wants us to place that kind of marker, as the actual page numbers on the artwork are not in such order (there're roman, then...

Hi, I presume all the pros will know it straight away but I can't figure out how to create a fold patter to A4 landscape book but stapled on the long top edge, Something like wall calendars. I can rotate/flip the pages in the fold patter window but the spine is kept at the short, left edge no...

Hi, What's the best way to duplicate a copy of preps to another machine. I mean settings, custom marks, paper sizes, presses etc.? We only use Preps as standalone app if that helps. Thnx R.

Thnx for the reply. I was probably trying to take too many shortcuts with jdf file. So ideally I should build all sections manually in Preps, correct? R.
