Looking for Imposition Software options

[InvisSoul]

We're looking into possibly switching our imposition software from Preps to something else. I'm looking for a list of companies that make robust imposition software. Just give me as many as you can or software that you are currently using.

Thanks!

Take a look at Signa Station, it has been around for about 20 years. it is very powerful yet user-friendly.

Why in particular do you want to leave Preps? I have been using it for some 20 years and love it. I use Preps 5.3.3 as a stand alone application to create plate size pdfs that get manually downloaded to the rip from my mac work station. In addition to a Press sheet slug mark, I use a plate slug mark that images on the plate below the sheet gripper edge, and on the sheet itself I have a text mark with $Template / $SigName that documents the template and sig that produced the plate in case a problem needs to be investigated.

hmmmmm..... I have a sneaking suspicion that they "upgraded" to Preps 6 and are unhappy. Big suprise.

Metamation Imp looks very interesting, but we've yet to demo it.
