Hi everyone,
we are currently plagued with the Xerox makeready software, which after upgrading to version 9 has been a complete nightmare. Jobs get ruined by just opening them, complicated jobs are impossible to assemble, making changes to old jobs completely ruins the job when saving, sometimes pages are shuffled when inserting pages to existing jobs, and i could go on...
Xerox has been incredibly slow at acting upon this problem, and after a month we had two specialists on site scratching their heads. This was three weeks ago, and we have heard nothing at all since. Given a long period of changing problems with different versions of this software, we are now looking for new possibilities. I have contacted EFI requesting a trial of their SeeQuence suite, but I am wondering if other good alternatives exist..? Also, does anyone here have experience in switching platforms..? We are considering switching all our Xerox software to EFI in order to become supplier independent, however we have 5 years worth of production stored in .rdo jobs. Is it possible to migrate them to other platforms succesfully..?
I really hope that someone has done a similar swap, as our production has been a complete nightmare for a long period.
Best regards, Jacob
