Improved Pure Hue tool Pure Hue can now be applied (Page 12 / 16) SAi Production Suite 12 Readme

 Improved Pure Hue tool. Pure Hue can now be applied to all Primary and Secondary colors as

well as to Gray, as well as achieving better transitions with neighboring colors.

 CleanColor™ provides an alternative pure hue method. Whereas standard pure hue bypasses

color management and will keep input values as output, CleanColor™ first processes the color

through ICC profiles and will then remove any channels that might have been added. This

method may achieve more balanced colors than standard pure hue.

 Tiling settings can now be saved into Default Job Properties and presets.

 PANTONE Plus Libraries have been added to Production Manager Global Color Mapping. The

choice between old PANTONE values or PANTONE Plus can be set in the Global Color Mapping

dialog. PANTONE Plus is now set as default.

 Automatic gradient recognition for legacy EPS files. Older .EPS formats were not capble of

storing gradients as vector objects and converted them to bands. This feature which can be

switched on/off in Preferences will automatically recognize one of these band gradients and

convert them back into vector gradients, for smoother output.

 Anti-Alias Text. This feature applies extra anti-aliasing to text in EPS/PDF jobs and was added

especially to improve the look of very small and fine text. When checked, it will apply to all text,

even large but the effect will be mostly noticeable on smaller text.

 Find printer for TCP/IP. When adding a new printer in Production Manager with a TCP/IP port, it

can now search the network to find available printers and their TCP/IP address. Access this

feature by hitting the Find Printer button when adding a new setup. Not all printers support

being polled for their IP Address.

 Eliminate line segment overlap for contour jobs. When 2 cut lines overlap, Production Manager

will only cut the line once.

 Added printing Tile Trim Lines to make it easier to cut long tiles to assemble, especially with

white in the background, where the tile edge is difficult to see. You can access this feature from

the Print Marks drop down menu on the Labels and Marks tab of Job Properties once a job is

tiled.

 Optiscout is now supported.

 Added support for Rasterlink 6 to send print and cut jobs as single .eps files.

 Added support for the SpyderPrint Spectro.

 The Summa F-Series SummaFlex is now supported. SummaFlex Mark Options allow you to

control mark size and amount, the distance between job and marks. Switch on barcodes for

camera or for hand scanner.
