2005? Looks like July 13, 2007 to me. Still impressive though.

i've heard plenty of U.S. users complain about AWS service/back-up, but what about UK users - and europe too.

i know folks with artpro seats who were/are happy with response times etc - its a mixed bag on this

For me support is two fold. There is the quality of product that comes from Gent and then there is the actual end users support.

In the USA end user support has been bad. We tend to have a much faster turn around deadline then what is most commonly found in Europe. We can't wait hours on end to find out why something is not working. Then there is the lack of communication between USA support and Ghent. The Time zones plays a huge issue in that.

If Ghent were to start putting out better builds that would relieve the stress of local support. There are just way to many issues with every rev1-3 that makes yell. I fear that most of the printers will start to totally ignore the first few revs.

I totally agree with U macdevin. We don't even consider using rev1 or 2 of any release. I would like to see less revisions released and more stable software come out of Ghent. More testing should be done on the builds before they are released. I'm not too happy with support either. Although we do have a contact that we talk to every once in a while who is able to give us a lot more info/help than support does. Hopefully the merger with Esko will provide more support for the US.

In the UK Esko don't have any real support it is all back in Ghent. I don't know about in the US.

At least here I can talk to someone who can understand me properly. We seem to want to work in a way that they don't understand.

We use Esko for trapping but then bring the file back to Nexus.
