Four Pees has released PrintFactory and ProofMaster version 4.2. The update for the PrintFactory and ProofMaster product range includes some new features and fixes reported problems. It also updates the PrintFactory GMG Edition and introduces the earlier announced stand-alone version of PrintFactory Go.
PrintFactory and ProofMaster Editor
The major change in version 4.2 is the removal of the “Quick Production” palette and the streamlined integration of the features it offered. Instead it now features a new “Production Bar” at the top of each document. This new Production Bar allows selecting printer, medium and mode directly in the document window and launching the Driver Settings dialog. With the 4.2 version it is now also possible to print multi-page documents on desktop printers.
In PrintFactory Editor, the Production Bar allows you to select the cutting device. And besides the option of printing multi-page documents on desktop printers, you can now also view a coloured wireframe display of cut layers and perform cutter tool selection per layer.
The new PrintFactory and ProofMaster 4.2 RIP makes it possible to create virtual queues for each cutter device so there’s no longer a need to manually create queues. Version 4.2 also offers some major new features with regards to device and driver support.
PrintFactory Go: stand-alone correction and production preparation
The PrintFactory 4.2 release introduces the earlier announced stand-alone version of PrintFactory Go. PrintFactory Go offers the same job preparation and last minute correction tools the PrintFactory suite has to offer, in an easy-to-use stand-alone application. Whether you need to combine and correct multiple jobs, make edits on colour, masks, shapes, scaling, rotation, mirroring, create tiles or place grommets, PrintFactory Go puts all of the tools at your fingertips. Targeted specifically at digital large format print users, it offers a comprehensive collection of pre-production tools saving time and reducing error and waste.
