With the
new Qview, Eisfeld Datentechnik provides a smart productivity tool for the
high performance RIP PosterJet free of charge. PosterJet's Queue Viewer gives the user an overview on
all queues of all running PosterJet Servers in the
network from one workstation. This additional software tool shows its strong
point especially in larger printing environments when running multiple PosterJet servers in the network. Qview
can be installed on every computer that is able to establish a TCP/IP
connection to the desired PosterJet server. The
application does not take up a PosterJet client
license and thereby is extremely small. Thanks to its resource sparing
architecture the user may run a dedicated instance for every PosterJet queue to monitor (Main print queue, Nest queue,
and Job History). PosterJet users can download the PosterJet Queue Viewer free of charge from the PosterJet website. More information: www.PosterJet.com 7) ErgoSoft: Printer drivers for latest Mutoh generation

banks simultaneously produces premium output with production-level speed. The
new hi-fi ink set creator streamlines the use of the 8 print heads for
expanded gamut printing. SoftRIP’s inkset wizard walks users through the selection and
designation of inks such as orange, green, blue, red etc. The inkset customizer is available
for use with all future hi-fi drivers in Wasatch SoftRIP.

combine various ink configurations to achieve photographic, dye sublimation,
and monochrome film output with one device. More information: www.wasatch.com 9) SCP: New release 4.1 of reprocontrol.net
