Afaik trapping is done through the JTE and the PDF RIP. I'll watch the RIP and it'll get to a point in while trapping before it all goes to hell and flushes the job. I've never been trained on this system, we bought it second hand. I have a decent grasp on the printdrive I think. It's a recent problem thou. Files from customers that have never been an issue and now a huge headache.

Here's what I have: Prindrive series 3> AGFA PDF RIP> Printdrive Pilot> ECRM Dessertcat. Image@2400 175lpi AGFA balanced screening.  I honestly don't know what the trap settings are. We are using whatever the box came with. I'll take a look on monday and see what info I can get for you. The screen says in rip trapping clicked, app trap settings: ignore, trapping param: 002 center, pro color neutral density inkset: SWOP. It's been working fine for 3+ years but it seems to get really angry at anything output from newer versions of illy/indy/quack.

I've had a recent issue that is driving se up the wall. I'm running Printdrive series 3 (old I know but so far it's been working without major issue) and for some reason the trapping software has gotten real, real picky. If I run the single pages through, no issues. Imposed pages are another story. Shut off trapping and everything is fine, except the pressmen hate me then. It's been getting worse as the months progress. Now jobs that would breeze through the RIP blow the damn thing up.

The bosses know we're behind on the software updates but as of right now the money is not there for the newest revision. They're considering a bandaid external trapping software or even a used printdrive RIP. Personally, I'd rather get it from AGFA direct so I can have a place to call when it all goes tits up but the powers that be enjoy making my life difficult. Any suggestions are welcome and I can provide whatever info is needed.

Nothing wrong with SP3. I've been running it since the betas with no issues.

Vista is evil thou.  :evil:
