Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE)
ColorGATE Version 10 stands out by utilizing the latest version of the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) - the market-leading RIP engine for a fast image processing of complex graphics without any surprises. During the integration process of APPE, ColorGATE re-moved bugs and improved the stability further. Additionally, the overall processing speed of PDF/X and PDF/VT has been further optimized and the overall handling of multi-page PDFs has been improved.

Performance boost of RIP Software
With the latest optimization Productionserver 10 further increases productivity. Contemporary industrial high-performance printing systems are capable of printing hundreds or even thousands of square meters per hour. It is vital, that the frontend solution is capable of keeping up with these speed requirements, which includes PDF or raster formats, such as TIFF. Even in Commercial Printing the performance requirements are increasing steadily, especially since often print data has to be served to multiple printers at once. Due to these requirements the processing architecture of all Version 10 products has been optimized to substitute sequential processing steps with parallel task processing.

HP Latex Media Management
ColorGATE offers with Version 10 an extended HP Latex Media Management for printers of the HP Latex 300 series, which improves sustainably the media management between the RIP Software and the printer. Proprietary HP OMES packages, substrate presets, can be sent directly to a HP Latex printer by a ColorGATE RIP Software product (3rd party support as well). Additionally, OMES packages can be downloaded from the printer and further processed by Productionserver. These ICC profiles can be used to generate custom MIM (Media-Ink-Metamode) combinations in Productionserver. 

New modules: Job Backup Module (JBM) and Channel Redirection Module (CRDM)
The Job Backup Module (JBM) enables archiving of single print jobs — if desired including all job specific settings (e.g. profiles and print data) — to a freely definable directory. At a later time these jobs can be reproduced on the same or on another printer using the original settings. This archiving can be triggered manually or automatically. Often recurring jobs or reprints can be easily reproduced without the effortful testing and rediscovering of the original setting. 

The Channel Redirection Module (CRDM) enables the definition which color channel should be printed on which print head. Until now this was only possible for the screen workflow to a limited extent. In Version 10 this module is available for production and proof workflow. In addition, it is now possible to redirect one color channel to multiple print heads.
