XMF ganging and Digital printing

[Chasfinch]

Hi all

We are wondering how XMF supports ganging multiple jobs to output to either a digital or offset press

i still run version 3. something, you can do manual ganging but not auto like preps, im not sure if v5 has autogang? As for output, its really easy to setup workflows to output to multiple devices in the same job, but, yes it will do gang up, just need to spend a few minutes setting it up, xmf is a pretty swish rip IMO, i prefer it over apogee, heidelberg and truflow, all of which i have had plenty of time on, for the price, its well worth it.

thanks cosmo. We are looking into replacing RAMPage while we move to a new MIS which we are still looking for.

good luck finding a good MIS, im still looking, even started writing my own. One I do like is printpoint, PrintPoint 6 Management Systems for Printshops | PrintShop Estimating & Management Software

I would encourage you to look into Metrix for your imposition/ganging needs - (yes, I work on the Metrix team at EFI). FujiFilm has been and continues to be a great partner of ours and Metrix works very nicely with XMF. Give your local FujiFilm rep a call about Metrix - they can help you out.

I encourage you to look at a better priced and more automated ganging and optimization solution, Impostrip Automation. For a fraction of the price of other solutions, you can fully automate your production and workflow. Contact me directly and I can send you the latest version with a trial licence.
