We are a small print company using NEXUS BASIC RIP with the RASTER TRAP.
Believe or not we still using FILM with the old AGFA Work-horses. Outputting films for SILK-SCREEN and Water Based PHOTOPOLYMER PLATES (at 65lpi Max.) running on Heidelberg Windmill Letter-press and Dry offset Web-presses. Mostly SPOT Colors and eventually some CMYK work on WEB-Presses always on Uncoated Media. Always! We also have an In-house art department that creates PDF's proofs on our templates as needed.(mutch better working with designers in house this way we can go there and SNAP them when they create something impossible to reproduce). Lol!
HOW AUTOMATED NEXUS can be?
Just to know before I even start on something and regret it.
Do's and Dont's
Pros and Cons.
(I know that the NEXUS PDF is much better, but right now there's no way of investing new upgrades).
Currently we have 2 iMacs (10.6.3 Leopard) running NEXUS MANAGER on WIN 2003 Server. Proofing on an Epson 4880 and Outputing Film on an AGFA imagesetter.
Thanks
