New Features on pressSIGN 7

New pressSIGN 7 logo


As part of the continuing upgrade policy Bodoni is happy to launch the next release of pressSIGN 7, on 1 July 2015. The next revision contains features which not only enhance the integration of GPM for corporate customers, but also have new features to enhance print quality, bringing pressSIGN to become a solution nobody can afford not to have.




New features in pressSIGN 7 are:
  • ·         New dry back feature including spot colors
New Dry Back feature including spot colors
  • ·         Sitegroups (GPM only)
  • ·         Ink Substitution
  • ·         Color library sychnonization updated(GPM only)
  • ·         Automode
  • ·         Automode aliasing using wild cards
  • ·         Job Templates
  • ·         Open Jobs from URL links
  • ·         Server Monitor application


Sitegroups - GPM
To help print management and multi-site companies organise sites and improving the monitoring capability we can now create site groups with their own administrator(s). Companies or sites can be in several sitegroups. This enables sites to be organised and administered in different ways, for example, by region and by print process.


Ink Substitution - GPM
pressSIGN is used by many large packaging companies that are constantly changing spot colors from one job to the next. They want to run with the same color bar all the time. In the latest version of pressSIGN GPM they will be able to swap out the CMYK colors for spots and pressSIGN will happily measure and report.

Syncing color libraries - GPM
We introduced the facility to sync a color library from a central server to multiple sites in version 6. Version 7 updates the facility by selecting which libraries are synced and which are not and applies this to sitegroups.

Templates
Fed up with typing in the same information into a new job window? pressSIGN 7 introduces Templates. In the new job window create a job with all the features you want and make this a template that you can use over and over again. No more duplication of typing, just add the new job name. Job templates can be edited so they can be refreshed with updated settings.


Automode - GPM
The new Auotmode feature enables pressSIGN to monitor a hot folder and automatically pick up the file and populate pressSIGN. The first introduction of Automode is for SVF files only. That is files coming from Intellitrax, EasyTrax and Komori PDCS.

Working with Templates pressSIGN Automode can pick up complete job details and means operators don't need to duplicate job set ups in both closed loop systems and pressSIGN.

Hot folder Aliasing with wild cards
To make auto mode even more powerful and effective we can use aliases to represent much more sophisticated information. For example, A project called XYZ can be used select a template that produces a new job in pressSIGN with the correct print target, the color bar, the client, the press, the ink & paper, a category and who the operator is.

Aliasing also helps in replacing inappropriate special colors with the correct spots. For example the original library may only have Pantone library, but now you want to replace these with the new Pantone + series. pressSIGN will swap out the old colors and guide the operator to the correct target for the new library.
