Who's Using Rampage?

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of shop is using Rampage. Mainly, are you printers or service bureaus? For the service bureaus, what is your prefered file format for exporting out of Rampage to send digital files to printers?

Thanks for feedback.

FYI, we are a service bureau using Rampage 9.2, about to upgrade to 9.3.

Lammy, do you export digital files out of Rampage to send to printers? If so, what format are using, PDF-X1a, DCS2, TIFFIT?

[Lammy]

no. we have one account that prints at a web house who is also using RAMpage. So we send them our RSI data. They import it, make FPO's, impose it, and go direct to plate.

The only other time we send out files is if a client is just looking for a proof. Like for an ad in a magazine. We just forward the native files we used. Once in a while we're asked to make a PDF.

The majority of our sales is still good old fashioned film

Plotting to a Fuji 8up Saber Imagesetter we also create 1bit tiffs out of Rampage to Fuji Picto Proofer as well as RTL files to HP/Spnjet for proofing, We recive work in all fie formats then convert to PDfs or Eps
for our workflow.
