Quebec, Canada, August 5 2008: Dynagram, the leader in innovative imposition technologies for the commercial print, digital print and prepress industries has shipped version 3.0 of its popular imposition tool based on PDF and JDF workflows. This includes the release of the inpO2® version 3.0 imposition software for Adobe® Acrobat® along with two new modules for imposition planning and ganging optimization through automatic layout calculation which were received with high praise and excitement at the recent Drupa show in Düsseldorf, Germany.
 
What is inpO2?
inpO2 is a scalable imposition software, built right into the familiar environment of Acrobat 8. inpO2 provides all the functions and features for contemporary printers deploying end-to-end PDF workflows. From the simple wizard-driven approach to high-end imposition planning, inpO2 provides printers of all sizes everything to accomplish all types of imposition layouts of digital, sheet-fed or web press printing.
 
“The response to the introduction of inpO2 Version 3.0 at Drupa was beyond what we had expected” said Michael Reiher, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Dynagram. “Our dealers, distributors, OEMs and customers were amazed at the new functionality and value we brought to the market with Version 3.0 and we’re excited that it’s now available” continued Mr. Reiher.
 
What’s new in inpO2 version 3.0?
Version 3.0 introduces a new product configuration. Editions and modules are now available to create a solution that fits the needs of commercial printers, large and small.
 
There are two basic product editions. inpO2 ATOM is a scaled-down edition of inpO2. It allows extensive control and room to grow with its easy upgrade path.  inpO2 is the full-featured edition. This product edition includes features that are not available in inpO2 ATOM, the entry-level edition, such as the Assembly Manager, which is used to create complex impositions, ink remapping, custom mark sets, JDF output, network licensing and more.
 
In addition to the two main editions, tree modules are available to enhance the imposition capabilities.

    •    The Optimization Module allows the user to drag and drop jobs into the optimization module interface, enter the desired product quantity, and select your target output press to obtain an automatic ganging. There are no limits on number of jobs that can be optimized. This module is available in addition to the ATOM edition and it is directly included in the inpO2 edition.

    •    The Planning Module offers the possibility to profile your presses and paper stocks to quickly change from one set-up to another with instant feedback on press-run length and waste! Share your planning layouts with production for final imposition using the same inpO2 product.

    •    The Web Press Module allows the creation of complex layouts for single web, half web, multi-web, come and go or section stacking layouts with the inpO2 Web interface.

inpO2 version 3.0 will also introduce Check Points, a built-in monitoring system designed to alert the user to potential problems with their imposition layouts. Users will discover an enhanced user interface that allows for easy localization into any language. inpO2 version 3.0 is compatible with Adobe Acrobat 8.x, 9.x for MacOSX and Windows XP/Vista.
