Xinet Releases FullPress Version 8.07

Update allows users to control print queues from the Mac.

Berkeley, California -- Xinet, Inc. announced today that they have upgraded FullPress(TM)-a leading OPI server solution-to include a new Macintosh print queue management application called Queue Master(TM). FullPress 8.07, currently available from Xinet(R) and Xinet resellers, has a handful of value-added features, including Queue Master, and is quickly gaining the attention of prepress professionals as the most robust OPI server solution on the market today.

Queue Master makes Fullpress even more comprehensive, by enabling Macintosh users to manage print jobs from their Macintosh. "Queue Master is an important element for FullPress, because it allows Macintosh users to monitor print jobs without having to go to a server," said Scott Seebass, Vice President of Engineering at Xinet. "Queue Master gives Mac users full management over the printer queue, including viewing, moving, holding, restarting, cancelling, and resubmitting their print jobs," he explained. Administrators are able to control which Macintosh users on the network can access queued jobs, besides their own.

In addition to Queue Master, FullPress 8.07 is fully compatible with EPS image files (Adobe Photoshop and Alias Eclipse) which will be cropped, scaled, and plate-separated like other images, thus eliminating any performance advantage to using Desktop Color Separation (DCS) files instead of EPS files. Other features added to FullPress include: * Full support for Contex CT images. * For Placement Only (FPO) images are now rebuilt when options for generating FPOs are changed, so FPOs will correspond to the current settings. * Improvements to the algorithm which finds files that have been moved/renamed while users work with FPOs offsite. * Support for the R8000 (64 bit) SGI machines.

FullPress an integrated OPI server designed to speed prepress and print production through high-performance file serving, flexible print spooling, and efficient image management.
