On Prinergy 8.2.1.  Our new Prinergy admin just noticed that using his Mac version of Workshop that the Process > Enabled Rules view is grayed out but it's not on his PC. Both Workshops logged in as himself. I know for certain that this feature used to work equally well for Macs and PC's.

Is there any difference between the Macs and PC's and how the interface might not display this on a Mac that you can think of. Attached is how it properly functions on a PC. On a Mac, it's greyed out.

We use a Dell/EMC Isilon cluster running as a Prinergy job server and Dell/EMC is making us update to OneFS 8.2 to continue support. However, this "upgrade" has a limitation regarding the SmartConnect load balancing function where any queries to it will fail unless you use the FQDN. In the past, you could use an IP or the DNS short name. All our Prinergy job volumes/home use the DNS shortname. Prinergy allows me to create new Job volumes with the FQDN. But, there are sections in different Process Templates and in the SmartHotfolder section where you need to "browse to" the volume/path you want to use for a Device but Prinergy has truncated the volume names that use the FQDN as they are quite a bit longer than the DNS short name volumes.


For example. In the below SmartHotfolder config, the current path using the DNS short name works fine, but if try to browse to where the SmartHotfolder would be using the FQDN volume in the volumes list, it's trucated after the first "dot". Kodak says I could put a feature request change in but it would go in the pile with a bunch of other requests. I'm thinking about not using the Isilon load balancing and manually balancing the Prinergy Primary to one node and the secondaries to the remaining 2 nodes and seeing how that goes. 

What I'm looking for is a Pitstop action list type method to have 100%K knockout rather than overprint for a toner i300 press.  I can do it with a Prinergy refiner.
Thanks.

We have two Epson 9000 proofers used mostly for book covers. We recently got a 4/C HP T490 40" inkjet press that is being installed. We have a Xerox Versant 80 that does two sided color proofs but the color isn't that great. The book proofs wouldn't be imposed yet because imposition isn't done until the last minute by Connex software but color should be consistent with what the press produces.

We do have two Kodak NexPress printers but I don't know that management wants to use those for proofs.

Any thoughts on a two sided quality proofer?
