From our experiences with Command work station everything overrides Fiery. PDFs, Indesign, Planetpress, microsoft crap, powerpress (harliquean). Are you just using one specific print driver when you print? We keep multiple print drivers set for certin settings and use as needed. If you...

THats at least a $30K investment, its a nice set of machinery but if the budget is a big concern Id say buy seperate peices. It also depends on the # of jobs you run, the time you have to put into that postprint work and how long your jobs are. Morgana is nice but Graphic Wizard and Duplo...
