Features of v6

B/W Darkroom Effects

With supported Epson Ultrachrome ink printers, you can easily duplicate traditional dark room techniques like Selenium and Sepia toning on warm, cool and neutral papers. Advanced image adjustment tools include Split-Toning and Reverse Sepia and Selenium. Use the Tint Picker tool to enhance gray scale images from wam to cool, moss to mauve and all points in between - without changing your ink set. No more annoying hue shifts from highlights to shadows that plague monochrome printing just seamless tonal transitions with no loss of detail!

Automated Layour Modes

Standard - By default, each image gets placed on the page in it’s original size and orientation. If the image can not be placed on the current page it will be placed on the next page. Standard mode can be customized to automatically scale images to a defined size and placement on the page.
Best Fit - Similar to Standard mode, except that Best Fit will automatically shuffle the orientation of images on the page to maximize the print area before moving to the next page.
Proof Sheet - Images line up in perfect rows and columns. This mode allows the software to handle hundreds of images flowing to multiple pages automatically. You can design any type of contact sheet for multiple page sizes as well as CD inserts or other specialty print types.

Application Level Printing

Adding the PostScript option brings application level printing to ImagePrint. You can print directly from other packages like PhotoShop, InDesign, or Quark to the ImagePrint queue. This enhancement makes it the perfect product for ad agencies and creative departments who have to provide approval proofs to their customers. Not sure you need this option? Don’t worry, it’s easy to add Postscript at any time. There’s no additional service charge, just pay the difference in price between the Raster version you own and the Postscript version you wish you owned.

Integrated File Browser

It’s easier than ever to load images into ImagePrint. With our new integrated file browser, you can view thumbnails of your image file, then drag, drop and you’re done. (Currently Mac only)

AutoPrint Hotfolder Utility

The AutoPrint utility saves you time and media by grouping files together for batch printing through the Hot Folder. An indispensible tool for any digital work flow. The unique Drag and Drop shortcut lets you customize job settings as images are added to the Hot Folder. Improved functionality now enables AutoPrint to smoothly integrate with our package printing feature. You choose how many copies you want to print and which template(s) to apply. You can even customize the cropping of an image within the template frame. AutoPrint lets you customize a ‘hands free’ workflow to suit your individual printing needs.

Mac / Windows Networks

ImagePrint is the only advanced printing environment that is both Windows and OSX compatible. You’re free to install ImagePrint on an unlimited number of computers, and feel free to mix it up with both OSX and Windows machines. ImagePrint works as a print server in mixed network environments where both Mac and Windows exist side-by-side making it the perfect solution for creative groups that share a single printer resource.

Package Printing

Turn your printer into a digital mini-lab for photo packages and high volume printing. Apply a different template to every image on the page if that suits you. Setup frames in any combination of landscape and portrait orientation and ImagePrint’s auto-rotate function will take care of the rest.

Automatic Page Impositioning

The automatic impositioning of multi-page PostScript and PDF files make ImagePrint the ideal package for proofing. Drop a multi-page document on ImagePrint and it immediately responds with the number of pages in the document. You select any single page or number of pages you want - in any order - and ImagePrint takes care of the layout.

Shadow Point Adjustment

This feature allows you to adjust the richness of the blacks in your prints via a slider. Lower values print a deeper black with less tonal separation, while a higher value enhances the detail shown in the shadows. The choice is yours.

Auto-Fill Printer Setup

When you choose an ImagePrint profile, the Quality Mode and inkset are automatically selected for you in the Printer Setup window. All you have to do is select the paper size and number of copies. ImagePrint will even warn you if the profile you’ve selected doesn’t match the printer you choose - saving you time and media. Auto-Fill is currently available for the Epson Ultrachrome printers.

Rebuild Layouts

The spooling interface in ImagePrint keeps track of all your printed jobs and allows you to instantly reprint them. New in V6 is the ability to rebuild those previously printed jobs into the layout interface. Everything about that job will be set back up in ImagePrint, including the profiles used. You then have the option to modify the job any way you see fit and reprint it.

Queue Manager

ImagePrint’s queue manager puts you in full control of ALL your print jobs. View job status, reprioritize jobs, reprint jobs, and edit print jobs. Queue manager gives you access to jobs running on multiple computers and multiple printers.

True Borderless Printing

Now you can achieve true borderless prints anytime you use sheet-fed media, on printers that support it (and supported sheet sizes).

Tile Across Pages

Perfect for printing trade show booth and storefront signage, the tile across pages function easily accomodates jobs that require a single image to print across several pages.

Embedded Profile Management

ImagePrint automatically detects embedded image profiles found in PSD, JPG, TIF and EPS files. You then have the choice of using the embedded profile or selecting our prefered default profile.

Supported File Formats

PSD, JPG, TIF, EPS, multi-page PDF, PDF, TGA, SUN, SGI, PostScript Level III. (EPS, PDF, and PostScript Level III require PostScript option.)

ICC Workflow Compliant

ImagePrint is fully compliant with ICC work flow so you can print using the same working space as in PhotoShop. This gives you the ability to "proof" on screen, which means that what you see in the ImagePrint window is what you’ll get off your printer.
