Magnus: I'll have to check that option out. Does it not effect the marks as well? Edit: Just checked, that dialog comes up during output, not imposition, and is also greyed out in my editor dialog. Not sure why, but it seems it is not an option, for me anyway.

I ended up Setting up a S&R block on a smaller sheet, then printing the sheet from Preps to a PDF. That was then placed on my actual sheet size and skewed as you would a page. Not as elegant as I would have liked, but workable.

Is there a way to skew an entire Step and Repeat block in Preps? Rather than skew a page, then step and repeat, which creates impossible cuts.

Oh fer cryin out loud. Thanks Joe. "But I swear I checked that" he said, trying to remember if he checked that...

Hi All, I'm banging my head against my desk trying to move the position of a simple side-guide mark, but Preps doesn't seem to want me to do it. I have the Press Run selected, I can SEE the place to change it, but it's grayed out and inaccessible. (as is the center guide length) What am I...

Looks like Apogee doesn't muck it up like Prinergy. The PDFs with the "p1, p2, p3" are the trapped files from Prinergy, (and converted to 4c.) The "00-RozhaOne_TEST Pages.pdf" is the input file and isn't trapped or converted.

The files were too large to upload, so I am hoping this WeTransfer link will work. It's about 106 MB. https://we.tl/t-WYhl0FPyko I made some test pages. I tried to illustrate the range of content involved in one f the jobs. Indesign file, Font, 1 link, Input PDF, and the three refined and...

Hi Leafy, I LOVE your idea. However it's because as Prepress, we know how valuable it would be to other prepress people. Not all agencies or designers give a hoot. That's what they pay the printer for, right? A number of years back I made a pass at the Ad Agency world, using my prepress...

Has anyone else seen anything like this? A client recently started using a new font in a multitude of projects, and subsequently is driving us nuts. It consistently produces traps that are misaligned. (see images) Font is "RozhaOne-Regular.ttf" Punctuation characters seem especially...

Hi Guys, I finally got around to working this out. (it was more or less a backburner project) I liked the ideas, Placeholders & 2 one-sided sheets, but I stumbled upon another option that worked out pretty well. I used a SW layout, and since each page backs itself up, I duped all the pages in...

Joe, that sounds workable, and Prepper, your idea sounds good as well. I'll have to try them out and see which feels easier. I'll feedback when I have a chance. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Joe! https://s13.postimg.org/jxqu36tpj/Screen_Shot_2017-06-27_at_7.40.18_PM.png

Still reduced from original...

Job Layout Report screen grab. This is the one I started numbering manually. Only got to 16 (in the first and fifth rows) before deciding to look for help. I'm noticing that my attachments are getting shrunk. Is there another why I can include them without this happening?

Hi Joe, no, i'm afraid it's not. Think of it as playing cards being printed one deck per sheet. So the 100 different page positions represent one hundred different cards (But instead of a common back, each card has the same numbered image on both sides.) The cards are literally numbered 1-100 in...

At the risk of revealing how little we (my dept) use preps to it's potential... I am building a template/layout for a large format job. 96 x 48 inch sheet full of 3x5 cards. 200 cards per sheet. Is there an easy way to number pages in a layout sequentially, without having the numbering tool...

Ahhh... That explains it then. We always launch from Workshop so the volume mounts automatically and what not. I've just tried setting prefs, then quitting and relaunching locally and it works like a charm. I'll have to set up the Araxi volume to mount at start up so I can launch local all...

Hi Joe, Yes, using Prinergy 6. I see now the file you are referring to on our AraxiPreps Server. Wouldn't editing that cfg file affect all users though?

No Title I don't have a "PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template" file anywhere. Contents of Profile folder in Screen Grab attached.

Hi all, First post on these boards. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting the preferences in Preps 7 to stick after making a new preference profile. Most of my work is for large format printing, and I would like to have preps open with my personal preference set-up, instead of...
