New Esko install - any thoughts to help??

We will be installing a new Esko system on Monday. Any current Esko users have any thoughts to help? Things you would do different this time only if you knew??

We are a general commercial shop(sheetfed, web and digital).

Installing 1- edit, 2-w/floating impose, coming out as 1-bit tiff to a print console to our Quantum.

Currently a brisque shop.

:Thanks.

Being Ready

The best things you can do is to have all the resources under your control that will be needed for the install available. These include all the necessary computer platforms up and running and on the network, any and all devices that the Esko system will output to available and open to communication for the Esko software, someone with IT knowledge of you shop available, knowledge and availability of your email server configuration, and most importantly ( and sometimes most difficultly ) - freeing up the people in-house that are going to require onsite training and involvement in the install.

Check with the installer ahead of time to see if press time will be needed for calibration or profiling, and have the proper dot or colour reading devices available. And of course make sure your CTP or CTF equipment is up and running by time the installer gets there.

Esko also offers classroom training on it's software products and may be scheduled prior to installation. This training takes place at an Esko office and gives your personnel the opportunity to learn the products in an environment free of interruptions and dedicated to the goal of learning the software. When your system is installed you then have trained in-house personnel ready to participate in using your Esko products. This saves time as well as money as the cost of classroom training is very attractive. Classroom training may be something to consider even after you have our Esko system for some time, as new employees come in, or current employee require refreshing to remind them of the full potential of it's products.

Also installing

First, listen to Peter. The classroom training is invaluable, however, you may want to refine the curriculum to your needs.

Be sure your configuration has been specced to completely meet your needs. Some items you might "assume" to be naturally part of your quote may be separate line items. Even if you ask too many questions be sure you are not losing functionality you already have.

Feel free to pm for further info.
