PosterJet 8 Editions can be enhanced by extra modules (e.g. PostScript, Hot Folder, Job History, Tiling etc.). In addition, PosterJet 8 is scalable: from a simple 24″ single license edition to a 60″ edition with five active printers and as many clients as requested.

Modules

Phototools

Details

With PosterJet Phototools you can produce sedcards, passport images, or photo books within seconds. The software allows placement of images into predefined layouts (existing or customized) which can be exported to the common TIFF file format. You may define templates of any size. Insert place holders for images of any size into the layout template. You can also add frames and labels to these place holders. Then import your images into the predefined place holders and export the resulting image to print it later on a printer of your choice. You may save your templates for further use. Phototools sizes and crops all images automatically to fit them to the layout frame. You may also rotate and scale your images to your liking within the frame. With a set of layout templates a huge range of approaches can be automized and reproduced any time.

PostScript

Details

All PosterJet versions do process raster files providing over 200 common file formats and sub formats directly without involvement of a third party software. Among others, the TIFF, BMP, PCX, JPG, and GIF format is supported (no matter if in CMYK, RGB, grey scale, or Lab color space). With the optional PostScript module all non-PostScript editions of PosterJet can be extended to process PDF, PS, PRN, or EPS files. This functionality is obligatory when it comes to PPD printing from Windows/Mac/Unix applications directly to the PosterJet printing queue (virtual Windows printer driver for printing from any application). The large format printer driven by PosterJet does not need PostScript capability to print PostScript files via PosterJet.

Tiling

Details

Expand your PosterJet e24 or e44 edition with the optional tiling module (already included in e60+ editions) to print jobs exceeding the printer’s printing width and spread the image over several tiles. You don’t have to split your image to dedicated segments in your layout software to print wall papers, booth walls, and XXL advertising any longer. PosterJet automatically separates the image for you into segments with the possibility to adjust width or length, and to set a value for overlap or gap (e.g printing an image except the window frames). You may choose to reprint single tiles while smaller tiles can be printed side by side in order to save media.

Hot Folder

Details

Expand your PosterJet e24 or e44 edition with the optional Hot Folder module (already included in e60+ editions) to process and print jobs fully automatically. Hot Folders are standard folders on a local or network drive that are constantly being watched by PosterJet. You may assign a PosterJet job template to each Hot Folder. A job template contains all relevant information for a PosterJet print job. Every file copied to a Hot Folder is automatically polled and printed by PosterJet with the respective instructions contained in the job template. With Hot Folders your production workflow can be fully automated using multiple printers with several Hot Folders (for such scenario one or more additional SimuPrint licenses are necessary).

Job History

Details

Expand your PosterJet e24 or e44 edition with the optional Job history module (already included in e60+ editions) to easily reproduce print jobs with a single mouse click. It goes without saying that all relevant job parameters (e.g. dimensions, cropping, printing resolution, and print quality) are applied to the job saved in the Job history. You are free to change these settings in the PosterJet job submission prior to reprint the job. Nested jobs can also be modified before they are reprinted, ensuring full flexibility for your production.

Linearization

Details

Expand your PosterJet edition with the linearization module. This module provides you with the capability to recalibrate your printer perfectly and to create new media settings (basis for media profiles). It’s also the perfect tool to match one printer to the other, when both are of the same type. If you are printing a lot, we recommend you relinearize your printer frequently.

Profiling

Details

Expand your PosterJet edition with profiling capabilities. The profiling module includes the linearization module, onto which it adds the possibility to create ICC media profiles for a given or new media or just add a previously unsupported print mode. A step-by-step profiling wizard guides you through the whole process with minimal user intervention. PosterJet supports a range of measuring devices from a number of manufacturers.

Client License

Details

Expand your PosterJet edition with extra client licenses. PosterJet is shipped with multiple clients to setup, submit, and print jobs from different workstations in your company. The PosterJet Client handles the complete job submission and represents the production control center of your LFP-production. With the ability to install Clients on different workstations, more than one PC can now be part of the production. Two Clients are included in the 24″ editions and 44″ editions, the 60+” editions are shipped with five clients.

Profiling + i1
