New version of Fortuna software features new security design tools and brand new rasters, as well as a series of new tools focusing on productivity and simplifying security designers’ tasks.

At the upcoming Security Printers conference in Seville from October 5^th to 7^th, Agfa Graphics will be demonstrating the new Fortuna 10 design software for high-end security printing. It includes a smart collection of updated tools and new security modules. These aim at reducing complex manual calculations, as well as achieving more productivity and ease-of-use for designers of high-security printing graphics for passports, ID documents, high-security cards, breeder documents, tax stamps, security documents, lottery tickets and more.

Fortuna 10 introduces the brand new Trafo pattern generator, a unique solution for the very latest challenges faced by passport and other security document designers. It creates very complex, yet precise transformation patterns that replace labor- and calculation-intensive manual steps. There are also two new special rasters: The Hair Raster helps creating unique complex lines based on reference elements or images and the Text Raster enables to use font properties to create type-based security rasters. They were added to an already extensive list of security features that fit the needs of every security designer or printer.
 
Agfa Graphics’ Fortuna takes a modular approach and offers a highly secure file format.

Other new tools in Fortuna also include a new align tool, enhanced magnetism of objects, a special zoom option, tools to create and control dashed lines, advanced use of text from external sources, improvements to the special warp grid, mirror and geometrics— all of which save time when developing high-quality and complex ways to deter and stop counterfeiters.
 
Fortuna 10 will be available for Windows 10 environments at the end of 2016.
