Xitron K2 vs. Fuji XMF

[semi-tech]

We have been using the Xitron Sierra 7.1 workflow with good results. However, Sierra is not being developed further, which would block any upgrades on/of our iMacs due to incompatibility issues with the Sierra Client and newer Mac OSs. I've begun looking at Xitron's replacement, the K2, but am also looking at the Fuji XMF software also. We have been using Sierra for impositions and proof output, then exporting to a Fuji XMF Gateway server for plates to our Fuji platesetter. If anyone's used the XMF platform for layout/imposition, how well does it work? and would there be advantages over Xitron's new offering?

In a casual read over brochures for both, I see a good case for each. Sierra is based on XMF I believe, but Xitron's K2 software has a different interface than Sierra; different-looking, anyway. Going to dig deeper and see what I can find.

Did you make a decision? Have you looked at K2? There are a ton of short comings with the software. I believe it should still be in beta.

Just curious what issues have you seen / heard about? not had a chance to look at it yet, is just a an upgrade to the previous Xiflow / GPS product?
