What warehouse inventory system/software does your company use?

We are wanting to invest in a better system and I guess they thought a Prepress guy might know.

Thanks for your participation.  :)

General Prepress / Komori PCC
January 19, 2016, 09:08:41 AM
We have experienced something unusual with our PCC software. When we link the .ppf file in K-station, it shows the preview of each surface correctly. But when you look at the ink keys instead of the preview of the surface, the surfaces are flopped (Top of the web on the bottom of the web and vice-versa). Because the coverage was so heavy on one side of the surface, it was noticed by our pressman and he questioned the preset to us. If we re-create the preset, the surfaces are correct. We have been trying to re-create the problem but have been unsuccessful.  :banghead:  Any ideas?

General Prepress / Shingling/Creep
November 30, 2015, 12:37:35 PM
We apply shingling for all our products, which include Catalogs/Magazines (8-1/2 x 11) and our digest size products (5-3/8" x 8-3/8"). We have a software that all we have to do is select the paper stock and tell it how many pages. It calculates the shingle amount to enter into Preps. I would assume we all have some type of formula for shingle/creep. My question is: Do you calculate shingle/creep differently for digest size products versus Catalog/Magazine size?

Kodak Preps / Preps 7

In Preps 5, you could print a specific range and even a specific side of an imposition. Is there a way to do that in Preps 7? :huh:

Kodak Systems / Prinergy Color Convert Setting
November 05, 2015, 02:39:34 PM
We are looking for some insight into the setting under the color convert "Set CMYK Colors to knockout" in the refine process template. Currently, we have it deselected when we are processing pages. We have seen a few instances where black fills overprint images and also had black text that was set behind blue text, overprint the blue text. If we have the "Set CMYK Colors to Knockout" selected then it fixes those issues. But what are the risks of causing errors by turning it on? Who has it selected, who has it deselected, and why? Thanks for your input.  ;D
