London, England. -1st May 2000- A new version of Imposition Publisher, Version 4.1 will be officially launched by Farrukh Systems at Drupa later this month.

Version 4.1 adds to the already powerful features of Imposition Publisher with improvements to ‘Flatwork’ and an improved Printing interface that more closely follows the new Macintosh OS9 ‘look and feel’. Version 4.1 also has improvements to the Print Mark options to allow any printing mark to be defined, customised and positioned anywhere on the output.

Farrukh Systems will also be previewing Imposition Publisher Version 4.5 which is due for release later this summer. Version 4.5 will be the first commercial imposition software to offer a fully automated Imposition workflow. Repetitive imposition jobs can be defined and managed via hot folders to completely eliminate operator intervention. The use of hot folders also makes this feature easy to integrate into other workflow environments, for example… the input folder can be linked in with the output from a Preflighting software package. Similarly the output folder can be defined as the input folder for an OPI Server or RIP input folder.

Both Imposition Publisher V4.1 and V4.5 will be shown for the first time at Drupa (May 18th-31st) on Farrukh Systems stand no. 9B26-07b. Version 4.1 is due to start shipping on July 1st 2000 with a suggested list price of £ 1,495.00 for the Personal version and £ 2,995.00 for the Studio version.

Also being shown at Drupa is a new Linux server version of Imposition Publisher. The Linux version has the same functionality as the highly successful Windows NT/Windows 2000 versions and other UNIX versions (SUN, SGI and Mac OS X). The move to Linux follows in the footsteps of other Pre-Press software such as Helios’ Ethershare OPI and the recent announcement by Adobe that a Server version of Acrobat and Acrobat Distiller would be made available for the Linux OS.
