FFEI updates RealPro Toolkit pre-press software

RealPro Toolkit is aimed at aimed at design agencies, trade shops and label converters, and increases productivity and standardizes document structure from design concept to production ready files, regardless of the print process. RealPro Toolkit consists of more than a dozen modules designed to address specific pre-press workflow requirements such as file editing and preparation, color management, trapping, and step and repeat tasks. Features also extend to specialist tasks such as cylinder repeats, patterns and artwork pre-distortion.

The latest release of RealPro Toolkit includes 12 new features that have been developed to further improve efficiencies in pre-press work, including a new FX module for managing the identification and elimination of banding and other artefacts on flat colors.

Color editing using curves on both Vector and Raster artwork is also possible.

Furthermore when creating the imposition layout, it's now possible to select a spot color from the one-up file to be used for defining the CAD lines.

FFEI has made the enhancements to RealPro Toolkit having seen increasing demand for a packaging pre-press system that enables users to prepare native Adobe Illustrator files and PDFs for production efficiently.

Andy Cook, FFEI managing director, said: ‘I've been overwhelmed with the response from our customers for RealPro Toolkit. It's always a privilege to hear how our products are helping to transform customers business, especially as it gives my team the enthusiasm to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation.

‘This latest version really is a great set of additional features which I know we are all excited about. It overcomes the challenges that so many prepress technicians face - proprietary file formats, PDF format conversion, lost layers, transparency issues – just to name a few.’
