ArtPro is an all-in-one package dedicated for prepress for packaging and labels. This production tool allows for jobs up to 630 x 630 in., has an internal accuracy of 1/12,000, and it accepts up to 64 separations per job. Digital artwork in PostScript and PDF format is translated into ArtPro's format, which is based on the same imaging model. These files become editable without any restriction. ArtPro can then color a scanned image or change the colors of an imported file. The text editing within this software is Macintosh interfaced, so modifying text of an imported design file can be achieved by using the reflow text tool. This software allows output to be generated for any PostScript or PDF compatible device for proof, film, direct-to-plate or digital printing. Other features in ArtPro include modules such as ArtColor, ArtLink, ArtRender, PowerStepper, PowerOptimizer, and PowerLock.
