Separate boxes for proofer rip and print drive
We have a Nexus RIP that goes to an Agfa Print Drive. We also have the Proofer RIP on with the Print Drive. This causes a lot of problems such as confusing the Print Drive while trying to do two tasks at the same time, such as running a W&B proof on the Sherpamatic43 and running a plate at the same time. The proof will be in the middle of trying to back up and get confused and abort. We weren't told by any sales rep that the 2 NEED to be on separate boxes. We were informed of this by Agfa Tech Support, which is the BEST by the way, after we called with a problem. They said that eventually they will stop tech support until the two are separated which is an extra $10k. When we purchased the system the $10k sounds like a drop in the bucket considering what the whole system cost but when it's an after thought it's a lot of money. Anyone else having problems with a confused Print Drive with the same set up? I highly recommend the Agfa CTP set up but I really like Nexus for the workflow. 8)
