Uh oh Joe what you using now?

Joe · July 07, 2009, 11:45:43 AM

Still on Nexus 8.5 for the time being. Switching to Prinergy within the next 3 weeks. Training in Rochester next week.

G_Town · July 07, 2009, 12:08:40 PM

Yes. It's a full blown PDF workflow from the ground up. And that is what we need.

Captain_Type · July 09, 2009, 10:30:13 AM

Note that this version does not support PowerPC chip, so if you are Mac based and don't have Intel chip, use an older version.

G_Town · July 09, 2009, 11:43:21 AM

Of Nexus or Art pro?

Captain_Type · July 09, 2009, 12:58:13 PM

Ahh, that would be Nexus 9.5. Don't know about Artpro.

EmptyWords · July 09, 2009, 12:59:43 PM

G,
Only Nexus, they have abandoned the PowerPC chip, all new versions will only run on Intel Macs w/ 10.4.x & 10.5.x. Course this will soon find it's way to ArtPro, when who knows, this might be the perfect opportunity to faze out your G5.

opps... Captain beat me to the reply

G_Town · July 09, 2009, 02:45:07 PM

Ok yea I knew that I thought he meant Artpro, the sys req are in my initial post.

I'm in Rochester at the moment for training. I got food poisoning the 2nd night here and caught a cold the 3rd day and am now sicker than a dog. Other than that it's wonderful. :cry:
