New capabilities for PlanetPress Suite
Objectif Lune, a leader in solutions for variable data printing, workflow solutions and web2print applications, announces the availability of the latest version of PlanetPress Suite, Version 6.2
The interface can also be adjusted with dockable panels and customised toolbars.
PrintShop Mail 6 also has a drop-down font selection element with a font preview for quicker design and barcode selection.
Furthermore, users can now preview their print run before it is printed with the new Print Preview feature.
Moreover, PrintShop Mail now comes with an in-built Acrobat library which allows users to preview and print PDF documents in PrintShop Mail without installing Adobe Acrobat.
For greater flexibility in repetitive batch runs, occasional or periodic, PrintShop Mail 6 also supports the creation of templates for repetitive runs.
Users can create various PrintShop Mail documents and save them as templates with pre-defined printer and document settings for future use.
Objectif Lune also added support for the input of XML data files so users can use their standard XML databases coming from any host to import and map data in their PrintShop Mail documents.
In addition to its already extensive library of expressions, users can now refer to a wizard to assist them in creating the expression they need, every time and reduce syntax errors with the addition of an Expression Assistance menu.
In addition, many new expressions have been added.
PrintShop Mail 6 also allows users to create their own expression with Visual Basic or Java Script to add customised expressions, program local barcodes and have no limitations in scripting.
PrintShop Web 2 adds functionality and greater flexibility for print providers, brand owners and their customers - Version 2 of PrintShop Web brings a great new range of features and makes it even more the ideal solution for print providers and brand owners looking to offer added value services and streamline the process of ordering personalised documents.
PrintShop Web 2 brings forth many new capabilities for print providers allowing them to offer a truly integrated and personalised storefront for personalised document ordering and template management.
The pricing and quote functionalities of PrintShop Web 2 have been enhanced with the support of Price Quotes.
In addition, print providers can now include tax rates and job set-up costs to the job price and can add prices to both publication types and templates for more flexibility and realistic and accurate pricing models.
In addition to a freshly redesigned User Interface, PrintShop Web 2 can be personalised and branded for each customer.
Each company on a PrintShop Web server can have its own web interface (called a skin) personalised with their company logo and look and feel.
PrintShop Web 2 is delivered with three new skins but new ones can be easily created allowing for superior personalisation and branding.
Adding to the branding offer, print providers can also provide a unique URL per company and integrate PrintShop Web in their own web site.
Various settings such as language preferences can also be configured for each user so International companies delivering services in various countries can offer a multi-lingual interface based on the users needs.
The language strings can also be easily modified to localise specific terms for a local context.
For a streamlined back-end processing, PrintShop Web 2 also allows interconnection with MIS systems.
The XML file generated by PrintShop Web when an order is placed, which also contains identifiers per user, company and template, can be used to communicate with MIS systems in order to minimise double data entry.
PrintShop Web can therefore be used as a front-end while the MIS system can be used for back-end such as for invoicing.
"We truly believe that those new versions of PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Web will allow users to create, produce and manage personalised documents in an even more flexible approach".
"PrintShop Mail is already a proven solution for the creation and printing of promotional personalised print runs but adding to its flexibility and ease-of-use will certainly reduce production delays and allow for quicker time-to-market" says Didier Gombert, CEO of Objectif Lune.
"First introduced in 2006, PrintShop Web is a great solution for print providers looking to offer an integrated solution to their customers and for brand owners having to manage hundreds of documents".
"Our goal for this new version was to add in functionality and capability to address the quick evolving needs of the market while remaining the most affordable web-to-print solution on the marketplace" continues Mr Gombert.
PrintShop Mail Version 6 is currently available worldwide and PrintShop Web Version 2 will be launched in the United States in autumn 2007.
