Enfocus has announced a new Connect 11 product family. This has been developed to combine PDF creation and quality control with hassle-free file delivery for the graphic arts professional. There are two editions in the family, Connect You for designers, and Connect All for service providers or creative organisations that work with many outside clients. The products will be available in the third quarter of the year.
Connect 11 is designed to bridge the gap between creative and production professionals by helping designers deliver high-quality jobs right the first time, with no IT or PDF skills required.
“Connect 11 addresses the most common problems with PDF files at the source – on the designer’s workstation, where they can be easily fixed,” said Michael Reiher, Connect product manager. “By controlling the overall PDF creation process, and tying it to the correction and preflight capabilities of the built-in PitStop technology, common issues such as missing fonts, low-resolution images and other common problems are easily addressed before the PDF files are received for production.”
Connect You will cost 99 Euro. Enfocus Instant PDF customers can pre-order it for 79 Euro until 30 September. Users having purchased or upgraded to Instant PDF 10 since January 2013 to the ship date will be entitled to a free Connect You when available. Connect All will cost 2,999 Euro. Users having bought or upgraded to PitStop Connect 10 since 1 January 2013 to the ship date will be entitled to a free Connect All when available.
