Hey All,
We recently had a pretty big mess-up in our Prepress department. We plated and therefore printed last months file, instead of the current months.
Since we are using Prinergy, we have all of our "working files" on that server. Every customer gets their own folder. In that folder are dated folders where we have the press ready PDF, Imposition, and the VPS Proofs. An example has been attached.
I manually archive all old files every Friday. But with daily pubs, you are likely to see 3 or 4 dated folders in a customer's folder at any given time. This is where the issue occured. One of the older folders was used.
Are you guys archiving daily? Or is there another way you guys make sure this doesn't happen? IMO, this is just a human error that you can't really plan for. But, I wanna do my due diligence and see if there are better solutions out there.
