Additional Known limitations
Preps 9.0.3 and newer installs Profiles folder in a new location - Win Workstation ONLY
When Preps is launched from Workshop (integrated), a copy of the "PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template" profile is pushed to the local workstation and overwrites the "PrepsPrinergy.cfg" Profile. In previous versions of Preps, it was copied to the local installation folder of Preps.
As of Prinergy 9.0.2/Preps 9.0.3 the following is true:
- Profiles folder is now located in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Kodak\Preps
- Previous versions of Preps are not compatible with Prinergy 9.0.2 (Win ONLY)
- All local custom profiles are accessed from this location.
- Mac = Profile path did not change.
When you use "Odd" or "Even" keywords in the SmartMark Range field, the mark will be applied only for the first press run.
This happens for all marks when the mark anchor is anything except Gutter. See Common settings for SmartMarks.
Workaround: Add t: before the Range keyword. For example, t:odd or t:even.
If you add a new sheet while in template editing mode, you will no longer be in template editing mode.
You can still save as template. If you duplicate an existing press run you will remain in template editing mode.
When adding press runs to a job from a template, you cannot rename a signature after it has been edited.
Once you save the job for the first time you will be able to edit the name of a signature.
Preps mark preview limitation.
Textmarks placed too close to an adjacent page may get clipped on output. The mark will not appear clipped in Preps because Preps sandbox must preview the entire image.
