Does anybody have a Agfa Apogee scatter proofing solution

[GTurner]

We have been proofing fully imposed color contract proofs out of Apogee. We are looking for a way to print scatter proofs out of Apogee. Does anybody currently have a solution for scatter proofing out of Apogee?

I didn't care for Apogee running a proofer. I purchased a proofing RIP and had Apogee export proofing files (Tiff or rasterized PDF). Then I controlled all the proofing from the proofing RIP. With a proofing RIP you'll have nesting available, automatic and/or manual.

At the time that I had to run proofers out of Apogee, Agfa tied some of the calibration functions, like ink-limiting, to their color management software - ColorTune.

Hi GTurner,

Scattered proofs can be created using the QuickProof option of Apogee Prepress (as of v 6) .
QuickProof is very easy and convenient way of dragging pages (as you select them) from the Runlist/Pagestore or the result tab (imposed or not) on to the proofer that you want to use for the quickproof.
In fact there is a knowledgebase document about it on the Apogee Network with a very Instructional video: http://apogee.agfa.net/contents/Kno...uickProof/apogee-quickproof.html?ref=kbsearch

Happy proofing !
