    Alternatives to Esko prepress system?

    We use Esko AE, PackEdge as well as Prinergy in my current job doing flexo narrow, wide web and cut&stack labels. I also have experience with Rampage and Apogee in former positions as well. Esko is purpose-built for packaging so it understands the quirks of label printing better than any system...

    Best way to delete "temp" folder?

    Basic question on products/jobs concepts

If anyone that uses the products/jobs way Esko recommends, when you add a single label working file for job, when do you add it as a product- at the beginning or at the end? We use an archive folder and a work folder. We are...
