We recently installed an HP5000 Indigo. I am at the extreme tail-end of a FusionPro evaluation license with only 1 day left. I have been comparing this to HP's Yours Truly Designer in order to make an informed purchasing decision. FusionPro is fairly intuitive and straight-forward, but we're having difficulty with JLYT output and extremely long RIP times. I've been questioning support, but so far the only help they've given me on this inquiry is 2 copies of the HP/FP Workflow document, on top of the one I already had.
When I output JLYT from HP YTD, I get a "thin" JLYT (SNAP?). This requires me to copy the JLYT and the database file (and images and fonts, if required) to one of the HP's hot folders. Processing at the RIP is very quick. However, when I output JLYT from FusionPro, the resulting JLYT takes next to forever to process at the RIP. The manuals appear to state that FP uses SNAP by default unless it comes across a non-SNAP element. But since I can't find instructions on copying the necessary supporting files (database, images, fonts) to the HP, it would appear that the resulting JLYT is "fat." I suspect that this is why it takes so long, but I'm new to this, so I don't really know. Am I wrong in this? What are other HP5000 users doing? There are a lot of things I don't like about YTD, and a lot of things that I do like about FP, but if I can't get decent output from FP then the rest is irrelevant.
