Setting Up Preps for Kodak DI gripper issue...

Our shop has a Kodak 5034 (presstek DI i think) and our old imposition system (directworks/oneflow) is setup to always take the 9mm gripper off the sheet size. So to print a 12.5x18 sheet the imposition sheet has to be 12.5x17.756, and a WT has to be 17.402.

Is there a way to setup Preps to automatically adjust for this?? The outbound pdf would have to be 12.5x17.xxx . I am also trying to send from Preps to Navigator 8, exported to DI tools and then to the DI. (Currently we use directworks/oneflow straight to the DI)

To send a 2up 8.5x11 on a tabloid sheet , the pdf has to be made in indesign, shifted 9mm all the way to the edge and exported as a 11x17. :mad: not very efficient.

Any light on the subject is much appreciated.
