Packaging pre-production on Mac and PC ArtPro PackEdge DeskPack Prepress professionals need to turn designs into print-ready files as quickly as possible. Short deadlines call for a very productive workflow, without compromising the quality. ArtPro, PackEdge and DeskPack bring the best prepress production tools on Mac and PC. ArtPro and PackEdge dramatically reduce the time spent on the pre-production of packaging and labels.

Need to deliver consistent high quality prepress results? ArtPro (Mac) and PackEdge (PC) are the most popular editors for the pre- production of labels and packaging. Dedicated functionality and tools help prepare graphics for a wide array of packaging production (litho printing, flexo printing, gravure, silk screen, digital printing...). ArtPro and PackEdge dramatically reduce the time spent on the pre-production of packaging and labels. They are easy to learn and easy to use. Both editors are scalable and enable an unparalleled level of productivity and quality. Looking for high quality...

Unsurpassed productivity All objects - line art, live text or Images - can be checked for shape, color, screening, transparency, blend mode and Its relation In the file structure (compounds groups and layers). And all these parameters can easily be changed. Text can be edited; even text that was split up due to the PostScript or PDF language can be reflowed. All kinds of gradients can be defined and Images can be placed and changed. Many Image formats are supported: TIFF, EPS, DCS, PDF. All file elements, even images, can use special Inks and are not restricted to Barcode creation is...

Trapping PowerTrapper handles transparencies and blend modes of today’s modern design files flawlessly. This trapping module is completely compliant with packaging needs and knows how to handle special color pairs, opaque inks, varnishes, white plates, rich black trapping, etc. All calculated trap objects end up in a new separate layer combined with the ability to edit and modify the trap objects. PowerTrapper handles transparencies and blend modes flawlessly. Instant Trapper is by far the easiest interactive trapping solution on the market. Trapping becomes a matter of clicking the 2...

reference lines. PowerWarp allows distortion of a part of or a complete graphic image to compensate for the deformation the printed product will undergo when It adopts its final 3-dlmensional shape. The distortions applied to the graphics are based on grids or reference lines created with the same module. These distortions are dependent on the type of warping necessary: cups, cans, ceramics, blisters, shrink wraps and sleeves. PowerWarp grids can be rendered Into 3D animations to evaluate the distortion before real print. need warping:cups, cans, ceramics, blisters, shrink wraps, sleeves......

PowerLayout is a powerful tool for the creation of print-ready layouts for the packaging and label Industries. It Is the production gateway between the prepress department and the press-room. Users who benefit most include narrow web label printers, flexible packaging converters and folding carton offset printers. In each of these production environments, PowerLayout adds control and reduces cost by bringing optimum plate layout ln-house. For packaging trade shops that supply final plates or film as their core competencies, PowerLayout brings extreme flexibility and quality to the workflow....

Quality control Your print files need to be in compliance with the limitations of the targeted printing process. Preflightlng Is a necessary step in your workflow. Verify your files against specific characteristics or limitations: you avoid expensive press stops. An auto-correction feature assists the operator to fix a range of violations with a single mouse-click, eliminating the need of editing each Individual object property. Design import & export Designs turn into fully editable files by taking them into ArtPro or PackEdge through a very robust Import mechanism. Import any PDF, PS, and...

High resolution separation viewing Viewer offers high resolution separation viewing, as if you were inspecting your final printing plates. A set of smart view modes helps the operator to focus on critical areas and to apply the necessary corrections. Viewer offers Separation preview, Color preview, TAC (Total Area Coverage) preview, Flexo Plate preview, Flexo Print preview and Registration Error preview as well as a precise digital densitometer. It allows verifying the printed result even before expensive proofs or plates are made. The viewer offers high resolution separation viewing. The...

to spot mistakes early Studio Designer adds a 3D preview to your editor. You can place structural design files from ArtlosCAD, Collada files ... See the package directly, In 3D, complete with the artwork. Navigate In 3D, zoom In on problem areas; the canvas automatically rotates to make your life easier. Designer reduces time-consuming mock-ups, allows you to spot design errors faster and takes away the guesswork from 2D flats. For folding carton or corrugated packaging, the structural designs are supplied by ArtlosCAD or the Studio Toolkit for Boxes. For flexible packaging structures,...

CAD-Graphics integration Structural and graphic professionals need to communicate without conversion barriers. Our editors import the Industry's most important native CAD file format ArtiosCAD and common formats such as CFF2, Many printing errors are related to graphics that don't really fit the structural file. After finishing the conceptual design of a packaging, several parties are working on either the graphical or the structural part of the job, often in different applications. Only during the finishing or filling stage of the production workflow, both sides meet each other again....
