RIP Error 28 and -39 on Mac

When you see Error 28 in Processing tab, followed by an macOS error -39 in spooling tab in the RIP on Mac, this points to disk full.

The files are not being written properly due to disk space. 
  • Error 28 → disk full
  • → temp file missing  => e.g. in RIP log you see:   ACPL error:  Open failed with 2 on file:  .../document.bin 
  • Error -39 → file incomplete
