work and turn trim marks

[tapdn]

how about Ms Poke instead :rolleyes:

You are all nuts! Apparently I'm the only one actually using Work & Turns and Tumble templates? I like them, especially with Prinergy - when I send to my impo proofer, Prinergy is smart enough to send it twice so it gets backed up properly. Also makes it way easier when there are different size pieces ganged up on one sheet.

If you are using Smart Crop marks and want to delete some but not all, hold the option key and select the marks you want to delete.

I've been using Preps for years and never knew you could do that! Thanks, nice tip.  :grin:

I confess that I didn't even know it until about a month ago and saw it in Prinergy training. Before that I just didn't include Smart Crops on my work-and-turn master templates and instead used regular static crops, which you can select individually (without a key modifier) on the page to delete undesired ones.

That answers my question. Thanks!!
Think I will still stick with single sided for now, but now I know what to tell my trainee.  :wink:

I don't do a lot of sheet fed stuff so forgive me if this is a stupid question but isn't a work & turn template single sided by default?

[Ear]

Kind of, Joe. In theory, yes, but Preps treats it like half of the sheet you're working with and mirrors marks on the other half.

As far as the proofing goes, I don't have to send my W&Ts twice because they are sent from my main workflow, to a work and turn hot folder on the spinjet rip, which automatically backs it up work and turn style.

[Joe]

That's sort of what I thought. I've always created them like the rest of you...as flat work, single sided but always figured I was doing it wrong. My stumbling block was the spacing in the middle of the sheet. I need to change this to match the rest of the pages that are running on the web press but like I say I don't do a lot of this. It always tells me this spacing is set by the imposition on a W&T template and it won't let me change it.

It will let you change it, just have to go about it in a different way than SW. On SW, you can double-click the center gutter and alter the left/right space. On a WT, you have Modify Imposition and put in a Fixed Left Margin under the Placement on Press Sheet section (you'd alter the Fixed Bottom Margin on a Tumble.)

[Joe]

The double click is what I was trying. I'll have to investigate the other method when I get a chance. If I change the left margin does it keep the right side an equal distance from the sheet edge as the left side...there by altering the space in the middle?

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

Yes.

I cannot seem to delete only some of my smart registration marks this way.

I'm using a Work and Turn style and get mirrored marks in my center gutter. Afaik there is no way to fix this... :angry:

This thread may be three years old, but we're here to help!

Are the templates you are editing in Preps 6 originating in Preps 5? If this is true, the marks won't come off. If you originate your template in Preps 6 and then try this, they will come off. It's stupid, but that's Kodak.
