Really don't want to post the link publicly. Kodak frowns on that.

I think you will be pleased with it. I still hated the VPS proof window is constrained in another window but if that is worst thing I could live with it. Actually I don't have to live with it now. ;D

Yeah still not as good as the legacy VPS but life moves on. It is now useable. I couldn't say that about what shipped with Prinergy 9.x.

...more like VPS-
it sucks so bad.
can't move the ruler origin to quickly confirm sheet size
it's low res, even vector type
moirĂªs on some screens at some view/zooms
eyedropper is there but does not work
I am so sick of downgrades.
You hear us Kodak?
ugh.

I just accidentally figured out the eyedropper DOES work and it's actually better!
You click and drag a marquee and then it gives you percentages.... and seems more accurate than legacy VPS

Legacy VPS did that I think. Right? ;D

If it did I wish I knew it years ago, I used to get all different percentages depending on zoom and which dots it was picking up

The BIG question is... does anyone know what the ETA is of Prinergy 9.5?

This has been a very interesting thread.  We upgrade to 9.x next month, and the transition to the latest version of Preps has me nervous.  We have a library of master signatures that we import from and add to regularly, and it has taken us years to cultivate it.  I am hoping these legacy JTLP files still are recognized and importable.  Kodak indicates that yes, they should be.

Like others on this thread, I am eager to get this done as the first domino to fall allowing me to update a plethora of other things - Mac OS, Creative Cloud, etc.

As an aside, it is good to see this place still going strong.  I remember the good old days spending time learning on here, and it is fantastic to see so many old familiar names still contributing after all these years.

Hi Chris...good to hear from you. Those files should import fine in Prinergy. I never had any issues going from 8.x to 9.0 so I can't see 9.5 causing any issues. But I won't see 9.5 as I recently retired from the printing world so good luck to all of you still doing it.
