I work in a pre-press studio which runs a pdf workflow. We use an Agfa CTP system (Apogee Series 3) where we postscript straight from Quark into a Apogee Normaliser which flightchecks the postscript files, adds any actions (we have programmed some master actions ie.-knockout white etc,) and creates the pdf's for us to impose etc. This system works ok but it struggles with DCS2.0 files, we are not able to send composite files down which in turn would create a composite pdf, so we have to create separated pdf's which visually only show the last plate (no good for proofing to the customer) and also it creates images on any blank colour spaces.
I have also updated to OSX Panther and running Quark 6.5 and any spot colour vignette in quark converts to CMYK through our current system. Could we create hi-res pdf's to use in our current Agfa workflow using PDF-X-Robot, and would PDF-X-Robot solve the problems I have mentioned above? Do you know of anyone who runs a similar system to us who is using PDF-X-Robot to create their pdf's?

Computer to Plate for AB Dick 360 Duplicator work, 2-Up

It had a copy board to do traditional silvermaster from camera ready AND a Harlequin RIP to do polyester silvermaster CTP and it was all one unit, the imager and processor. That was a great unit, I think was 1800 dpi, plenty good for the situation there with Ryobi 3200s and T-Heads. I know these are discontinued but can be found on eBay. Other options most common are to use an older agfa or linotronic Filmsetter, say Linotronic 330, 530 or such to image polyester CTP for duplicator work. Here's a link to....
