What is everyone using for imposition proofs

[hansman]

What is the standard for backed up proofs in the industry?
I have used an Agfa Sherpa but the back up was out sometimes by almost an eighth of an inch.

Thanks in advance

A Stapler!

HP5500 on 24# bond, fold em and tape em. staple where applicable.
Hand folded, and better registration that your Sherpa.

In today's rapidly changing digital world I still find the need for a backed up folded, booked proof. Sure I could probably get a backed up inkjet after a few tries but there seems to be a void for a real backed up press proof that works every time.

SpinJet 4000 for automatic double-sided.
Epson 9800 for manual double-sided (for when the SpinJet is down.)

How close is the back up?

We've used a Spinjet 1000 for automatic backup. And an Epson 9600 for manual backups when we're busy. Both back up within a half point.

Our SpinJet backup registration is within 1 mm.

We use an Epson 10000 running cut sheets that we manually flip. We taped an old film stripping pin to it as a guide so when we load paper it has something to hit to ensure it is in the same position every time. Generally we are never more than .5mm off; usually it is pretty dead on. If it starts to drift (like when we open a new carton of paper) we tweak the sheet size settings until it is back in place.
