New features for the wide-format print sector have been added to PrintFactory. “Beyond improving the user experience, Version 6 brings a number of powerful new tools to print shops and their customers,” said CEO, Erik Strik. These tools are said to include “more robust solutions to ongoing colour management and quality assurance challenges”.
Version 6 has a dashboard to control of all aspects of the production process. It can share quality control measurement reports against set tolerances with the print-buyer, and the solution provides track and trace IDs to show the real-time status of each job, printer and cutter.
A new Resource Manager enables better management of colour profiles through storage on a central database. Several new features have also been applied to the VISU MultiColour Engine, such as a light adjustment tool for visual colour adjustment, cleaner spot colour functionality and a colour correction plug-in that takes RGB to multi-channel creation.
PrintFactory Version 6 also includes a new Rip user interface, the implementation of QR codes to enable end-to-end customer tracking, more powerful 64 bit conversion, PSB import (up to 2GB) and support for Mac OSX10.13.
