The Rest... / Re: Bad Data Files
Last post by Tracy - April 30, 2024, 01:06:14 PM
Thanks! Not really what I wanted to hear ;D , but good to know what others do.

Yeah it's not even a really big one, 150 but this customer is a bit out of control
with their demands/hot jobs.

Joe is so lucky

Here it depends. If it's really bad and like 1000s of items, we KIB...
but sometimes it's doable to fix or impossible for them...

has this big ol fat type for the Names and titles etc.. but the Title and company names are really long.
I have a feeling they are going to have me split the Titles/Names up.
Once they request you to split them up is when you tell them to split them up and send you a new file. (I can say that now)  :P

The Rest... / Bad Data Files
Last post by Tracy - April 30, 2024, 12:37:14 PM
I'm starting to get upset over the Bad data files they allow to come in
I feel like the customer needs to send good files or at least
files that don't need extensive fixing.
just wondering what others do, as I really don't want the intensity of this type of work.

today I had one that had paragraph returns, I fixed it but then they had another file
same company, for badges, the template that was created for the badges
has this big ol fat type for the Names and titles etc.. but the Title and company names are really long.
I have a feeling they are going to have me split the Titles/Names up.
this is so tedious, and it gives me a headache.

If others are doing this, I will suck it up, but I have a feeling most people
kick this sort of thing back.

Kodak Systems / Re: Prinergy version 10.0
Last post by RMPrepress - April 29, 2024, 09:30:07 AM
Kodak came in and updated our 2017-18 Prinergy and InSite Dell servers to Windows 2019 back in Sept. 2021.
Then updated Prinergy to v9.5 and later InSite to v9.5.
We had to purchase the Windows 2019 upgrades ourselves with Kodak's guidance.

We are now running v10 of Prinergy and InSite with no problems.
All Mac clients are running Ventura.

In a few weeks we are replacing our 2017-18 original Kodak Dell servers as they are now 6 1/2 years old and are at EOL.
Looks like we will miss out on Kodak having those new servers running v11 as that will not be out until late May early June.
We opted to pass on the cloud and/or VM's.

I chose to reach out to server team leader as a clever ploy to get our install date on his schedule TBH.

Yeah, remotely, they're virtualized now. We used to control all of that when it was the orig. Dell hardware but no more.

Quote from: born2print on April 25, 2024, 10:44:22 AMJust reached out to server team dude, I know we had to do this before but I can't remember if we went to 2019? I'm pretty sure we are >= 2016 because of that time...

Can you just not go to the Prinergy server to see what it is running?
