Imposing Issues

When all required pages are ready, Panther PageImposer assembles flats quickly enough to keep up with the high speed of a large-format PantherPro/62 imagesetter or Panther FasTRAK platesetter. Even RIPed pages that need to be rotated for head-to-head assembly do not impede throughput.

PrePRESS Solutions' new Panther PageTrapper option integrates the Adobe trapping engine into the Adobe PostScript 3-based Panther RIP. This makes it possible for shops using Panther imagesetters and platesetters to trap and RIP their pages all in one step. PageTrapper's in-RIP trapping functionality is controlled through a user interface at the RIP or via a QuarkXTension or an Adobe PageMaker Addition.
