Easier Management Of Artwork Files With Printers

The ability to more easily drag and drop and manipulate and manage artwork files is now provided by Gandinnovations' improvements to the graphic user interface (GUI) on its new Jeti printers.

The Jeti systems feature the new user interface, which is said to be 'intuitive' and easy to use.

New features include a jobs program to allow the operator to create a new image layout and set-up, whilst the printer is busy printing.

The company said that pop-up messages give the operator recommendations for solving any printing problems that may arise and warnings appear next to images that are not RIPped according to the current printer configuration.

Meanwhile, a report window and web browser interface is a new feature that allows tracking of completed jobs to include substrate and ink usage.

Gandinnovations said that users can still choose from the three popular RIPs offered with the Jeti Printers.

Images are stored on the console's 80Gb disk and are viewed as thumbnails.

Numerous image manipulations can be performed, such as crop, rotate, mirror and nesting, for instance.

The new GUI allows communication with any popular operating system to give the operator the ability to send print ready files direct to the Jeti printer from any computer on the network, added the company.

Randy Scarborough, Gandinnovations' lead engineer, commented: "The new GUI has been in the beta testing stage for a few weeks now and several customer demonstrations have been completed using it exclusively.

At this time, the current version does everything the old GUI does and then some.

We take pride in these enhancements to the Jeti line of printers.

They will add to an already excellent reputation of our manufacturing and service after the sale.".
