Ganging in 5.3.3

[Stiv]

Have 5.3.3 Preps Plus.
Assuming that we can upgrade to Pro in 5.3.x, is the auto-ganging function any good? Preps 6 learning curve scares me as my new co-workers don't have any impo experience. Metrix is also being looked at.

After jobs have come in we are going to analyze sizes/quantities and place multiple jobs on the same imposed flat. There won't be a lot of time to mess around with templates as this analysis will be around 3:00 p.m. and will need to hit the presses shortly after. Currently our overlords are imposing these in InDesign.

There has to be a better way. Help!

I'm interested as well. I have a demo version of preps ganging and it does look strangely like Preps 6 so I haven't really played with it. Think I just found what I'm going to do today.

I don't use it in the real world but we learned a little about it at Prinergy school. It works great. Even better in Preps 6 as the ganging is built right into Preps 6.

We covered ganging in our Preps 6 webinar. I forgot how to do it but it was really easy and automated with tons of control. Requires Pro license.

Don't fear the Preps 6.

I have been using Preps 6 for the last 2 years and it was a little tough to learn at first but once I understand what to do it works great for ganging!
