Nexus

Obviously it does not take 2 or 3 hours to trap in Nexus, but if you have a 128 page magazine and need special traps thru-out the book it would take about three times the the time. If you have worked in both Rampage and Nexus you would know the difference.

I agree you have more trap capabilities but why does everything take 3-4 steps when it should take one step, and forget about trying to edit traps in a raster workflow.

I am responsible for feeding two full web presses, one half web press, and two sheet fed presses. My operators do not have the luxury to wait hours for tech support or go thru work-arounds nor do I have the time to configure or create workflows. Right now I have over 15 workflows just to get as automated as possible. The more automation you want the more workflows you have to set.

Workflows made just to send a black and white proof to my desktop printer, you would think they would throw in a print feature in Insight or Edit.

Workflow to scale, workflow to do cmyk conversion, workflow for seps, workflow for pdfs, these are my reasons why Nexus does not work for me.
