Solimar Systems, provider of print production workflow solutions, has released its Solimar Print Director Enterprise (SPDE) version 9.3. This latest update introduces new capabilities and enhancements designed to support intelligent automation and improve efficiency, colour fidelity, and overall performance in print production environments.
The new version allows users to specify colour profile to use when rasterising documents using its PDF Interpreter due to more ICC profile support. Colour profile and rendering intent options allow users to more tightly control output for specific printers or devices, enhancing colour accuracy.
Other highlights to the new version, according to the company, is the ReadyPDF optimisation module that now includes the ability to create output conforming to various PDF/A standards. In addition, a new validation mode helps identify, trap, and re-route problematic PDF files for special handling.
In addition, this version introduces a new ReadyPDF feature that selectively renders complex PDF pages to full-page rasters before printing. This feature can help users produce revised content that might not otherwise be supported on a target printer.
Other updates include: a device-specific JDF output support, specifically for Canon Prisma and HP Elite controllers; new time-out controls, offering expanded control over system-wide and application-specific inactivity periods; streamlined logging, including options to suppress Windows Event Log messages; staying up to date, supporting Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11.
Mary Ann Rowan, chief experience officer at Solimar Systems, stated, ‘SPDE 9.3 demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the print production industry. With enhanced colour fidelity, expanded PDF handling capabilities, and improved performance features, we’re confident that this release will significantly benefit our customers’ intelligent, automated workflows.’
SPDE 9.3 is available immediately for existing customers with current maintenance agreements.
