Streamline Job Management
PosterShop includes support for two printers with multiple Hot Folders, used for specifying job properties. Print directly from your creative application. Or drag and drop jobs into the appropriate Hot Folder and, when the system detects an available printer matching the job properties, printing begins automatically.
Scale, Crop, Rotate, Apply Custom Tiling to Images
Pre-flight with professional tools that let you perform difficult tasks easily and with consistent results from one job to the next. Interactive sizing, cropping and custom tiling, as well as full pan and zoom, instantly shows on your display.
Make Color Corrections on the Fly
Adapt easily and quickly to your customers' subjective view of color. Novice and expert users alike will find an intuitive color correction toolset that lets you quickly and easily make changes without leaving PosterShop. Change brightness, saturation and contrast for the image globally, or individually affect highlight, mid-tones and shadows. Powerful CMYK and HSV tools allow more advanced users to fine tune images to meet the demands of the most exacting clients. View up to four color filters at once to compare changes, or select a specific color - or a range of colors - and replace it with another to fine tune even the most difficult prints. All without touching the original file.
Manage Medias and Calibrate As Needed
PosterShop includes an impressive range of default media and reference ICC profiles. With PosterShop, you can recalibrate your printer to your media as needed in response to changing print conditions. In addition, you can import and apply custom ICC profiles, as well as create and edit density calibration tables and control ink restrictions.
Preflight Puts Everything at Your Fingertips
Preflight is easy to navigate. Key actions and controls are located in the main tabs, and you can pre-flight directly from the queue.
Web Portal for Web-based Print Job Management
Manage your print jobs from any computer on your network with a web browser. You can also submit jobs from a PC, Mac, or Unix-based compatible web browser on your network.
PosterColorT
PosterColorT is a proprietary color rendering technology that gives CMYK posters brilliant-looking saturated colors when you apply ICC profiles. Many print operators know that applying ICC profiles will dull-down the colors in CMYK print jobs. With PosterColorT you get the gray-balancing and hue matching benefits of ICC color management, but with the fully-saturated look that your printer inks can actually achieve.
