Title: Preps 8 Come and Go Collation Marks
Post by: Joe on February 20, 2018, 02:35:17 PM
Preps v8.0.2 and I have created a new Come and Go template, not using a fold pattern because I can't get a fold pattern to place the pages where they need to be. Then I created a new collation mark with it set to come and go but the collation mark does not show up on my Come and Go template. Has anyone got this to work before?

Come and go? Isnt that an old Boy George song?

Sorry Joe, could not resist. Just hope this comment does not sway any productive answers.

Sorry... only used it for Web and Sheetwise / Work & Turn. Come & Go is a convenience store chain around here, but I think it's spelled Kum & Go.  :tongue:

Yup, that another one that I've never heard of. I had to look up cut and stack as well. You web guys do weird shit.

I do think come and go is a great name for a chain of strip clubs or massage parlors.

QuoteIn a come-and-go job, the entire run list flows twice through the same press runs, which are automatically
divided into two press-run sections. The template pages are numbered so that the run list first flows through
the first section in run-list sequence, and through the second section in reverse sequence. The resulting two
identical books are perfect-bound together on a common edge, and then cut apart.

Basically what it does is we have a 648 page desk calendar. The come and go prints 1 - 648 on the right hand side and then prints the same 1 - 648 in reverse order on the left side so we end with 2 of the same calendar with one running 1 - 648 and the other from 648 - 1
