<p>First imposition software to run Mac OS X Universal for Intel Macs</p>
<p>Montreal, September 13, 2006 Ultimate Technographics Inc,<br />
(<a href="http://www.imposition.com/" title="http://www.imposition.com/">http://www.imposition.com/</a>), the leading imposition software<br />
developer and the inventor of digital imposition, is pleased to<br />
announce the release of another industry first, imposition software<br />
that runs in the Universal mode of OSX on Intel based Macintosh<br />
Computers from Apple. At Graph Expo in Chicago next month, Ultimate<br />
will release Impostrip 8.3 which has been rewritten to give full<br />
support as Universal application.</p>
<p>"Impostrip always supported the Rosetta environment in OSX, which<br />
other imposition packages did not even support, but this is an<br />
emulation mode that is not nearly as fast as the universal mode,"<br />
explains David Watson, President and CEO. "Ultimate was the first Mac<br />
imposition software in 1990, it was the first Power PC imposition<br />
software, the first on OSX and every release of it since. We carry on<br />
this tradition with Universal."</p>
<p>Tests show that the Universal application is 2 to 3 times faster.<br />
This means much greater productivity for Impostrip users. Impostrip<br />
is the only client/server imposition software so the gain in speed is<br />
both on the client side and the server side.</p>
<p>Impostrip features:</p>
<p>Client-Server Imposition Workflow<br />
* Impostrip contains two modules: the client and the server application</p>
<p>* The client and the server can be either on a Macintosh or a Windows computer</p>
<p>* Impostrip offers unlimited clients (Impostrip Solo is limited to one client)</p>
<p>* Workstation is freed immediately to perform other tasks</p>
<p>* Minimized network activity</p>
<p>* More plates per hour</p>
<p>Automated Impostrip Workflow<br />
Unique hot folder automation using dynamic templates to fully<br />
automate the imposition process from input to output by simply<br />
dragging the source files to the hot folder.</p>
<p>* Minimize human errors</p>
<p>* Allows inexperienced employees to output imposed jobs for proofing<br />
or final output without using the client application</p>
<p>* A basic template is used in hot folder automation there is no need<br />
to create a complete job, Impostrip will build and repaginate the<br />
imposition based on the number of pages in the source files</p>
<p>* Output files are named as the source files to overcome overwriting</p>
<p>* Unlimited Hot Folders can be created on the network</p>
<p>Post-Rip and JDF Workflow Benefits<br />
* Impostrip Server can be installed on the file or rip server to<br />
minimize network traffic</p>
<p>* Single low resolution files can be automated with Hot Folder Automation</p>
<p>* Hot Folder automation can also be used to automatically generate<br />
complete JDF imposition by populating the hot folder template. Other<br />
solutions must provide the complete imposition every time a JDF is<br />
submitted to the workflow. Supports populated and unpopulated JDF.</p>
<p>Dynamic Templates<br />
Impostrip templates can be reformatted automatically without having<br />
to create new templates manually. Press sheet sizes and page sizes<br />
can be reformatted automatically along with the press marks.</p>
<p>* Faster creation of similar templates</p>
<p>* Less human errors</p>
<p>* Minimize the amount of templates and hot folders required in your shop</p>
<p>* Dynamic marks: press marks automatically fit new templates</p>
<p>* Overprinting of marks with density control to avoid exceeding<br />
maximum color densities</p>
<p>Easy web or sheetfed press template making with Origami Use Origami<br />
to create new imposition templates. Origami is a virtual paper<br />
folding tool built-into Impostrip. Origami allows you to fold your<br />
press sheet on screen, automatically generates pages in the proper<br />
imposed order and orientation with cut and fold marks in place - once<br />
complete, add your own crop marks, and color bars to your templates.<br />
Origami simulates the web press on-line finishing.</p>
<p>* Fold paper upward or downward to simulate the actual folding pattern</p>
<p>* Cut the paper to simulate step-and-repeat or multiple ups jobs</p>
<p>* Cut the paper to enable the sectioning feature (group different<br />
signatures on the same press sheet to group common colors</p>
<p>* Move and place different webs to enable multiple sections</p>
<p>* Cut the paper to create slit webs (full, half, 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4 web)</p>
<p>* Combine webs</p>
<p>Built-in Color Bar Editor<br />
Create you own color bar (up to 8 colors) and customize with<br />
different densities, line screen and use special patterns. Impostrip<br />
can also import any press marks for regular placement.</p>
<p>* The created Color Bar Editor mark is embedded in the template and<br />
can be used by all workstations</p>
<p>* Can replace press manufacturer's color bar</p>
<p>* Automatically fits any press sheet size</p>
<p>* Automatic remapping of spot colors</p>
<p>* Multiple layering</p>
<p>Impostrip 8.3 is a free upgrade for Impostrip 8.x users on the<br />
Ultimate Support Plan, for those users that are not there is an<br />
upgrade fee.</p>
