Hi am going to be getting a Trueflow Rip and Impo system at my work; we are getting a new 8 color Heidelberg as well.

I was wondering if anyone might have a link to the pdf manual for the new Trueflow system? I am wanting to get a jump start on the system and set up some stuff before we get it all installed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Which Trueflow are you getting? I could upload you the pdf manual for Trueflow Rite.. its basic, but it'd get you started..

We are getting the Trueflow 3 system as far as I know, is there a huge difference with Rite and 3?

My bad we are getting Rite, so if you could upload the pdf that would be great!

I have used a few pre-press systems and so far Trueflow has been the best. I have used it from version 2 through to 3 and now 3.4 (what they call version 4) I am sure we will be upgrading to the APPE in the not so distant hopefully. We have just had an operator join us who worked at a web printers who was using Lite however and it was just not up to the job - what I am trying to say is what are you going to be using it for. If most of your work consists of 2 to 4 page impo's then lite may be fine but if your work is any more complex then I would think about spending the extra pennies. It will be re-couped over time on the time and hassle saved.

We have had negotiation problems getting the 8 color 102 in, so in prepress we are just waiting for the press to get here so we can set up the new plate and rip systems...
We are getting the reg Screen system and since we are ordering it when we are we are also getting the new upgrade to it that is coming out in December for free, which is nice.

Although I still wish we would have went with a chemicaless system, gum system or something like that, alot less cleanup every week but oh well, having a bran spanking new plate machine is going to be nice.

does anyone know where i could get a PDF manual for Trueflow 3? i don't believe its Trueflow Rite. when i launch it the splash screen says "Trueflownet". i've been "promoted" to head prepress guy at our shop and i'm noticing my predecessor either lost or took all our mannuals. i don't mean to hijack this thread but any help i can get would be greatly appreciated. thanks
