With today’s pressures for higher speeds and lower costs, there is a need to increase productivity, shorten delivery times and reduce expenses. MailProof IJPDS Viewer helps you accomplish these objectives with accurate file viewing and generation of proofs right from your desktop.

MailProof lets you display Scitex IJPDS printer files on your Windows workstation. The display is an exact dot-for-dot image of what your ink-jet printer will produce. Tools are provided for measuring positions and distances on the display to allow adjustments to be made before getting to hard copy. You can rotate and zoom the page view for comfortable viewing. The position of the printheads can be shown on screen and on the hardcopy proof, and you can adjust each printhead independently for accurate simulation of on-press adjustments. You can display and print printhead images in any color, thus simulating different inks.

MailProof supports Scitex 3000, 3500/3600 and 6240/5240 systems with up to 16 RIPs, the VersaMark 90 and Business Color Press systems. It can display RIPs independently on separate ‘web’ images, each with a separate preprinted-form image.

If your document will actually be printed on paper that has been conventionally-printed with a fixed design, MailProof allows you to import an image of that design and superimpose your ink-jet text over it. Tools are provided to allow moving the two images independently so that they can be registered together.

This feature lets you check the fit of the IJPDS text and graphics with the preprinted design and adjust for any problems before they cause production delays.

The image on your display can be printed to any Windows-supported graphics printer or plotter. The printed output is scaled to the exact size of the real ink-jet output and the Scitex printer resolution is simulated as accurately as possible within the capabilities of the Windows printer. When using the preprint image, the combined image is printed, creating a perfect proof of the production job. Sections of the page can also be clipped for printing.

Searching the File

MailProof has a Text Search feature that allows you to search for words or phrases in the IJPDS file and limit the search to a 'side' of the paper or an area of the page.  The search will match capitalization and will match complete words if requested.

It is valuable to be able to add notes to the file in places of interest or where problems are identified. MailProof provides tools to let you add notes in colored squares at any point on any page. These notes are recorded in a separate file that is linked to the IJPDS file and they are shown on a separate display layer that can be turned on and off. You can print the notes with the page proof if you wish.

We have a free 30-day Evaluation Program for MailProof IJPDS Viewer. You can download the software from the Downloads page or contact us and we will send a copy. MailProof runs on any IBM-compatible PC running Windows95/98 or WindowsNT/2000/XP. You can install the trial software on as many computers as you wish, allowing everyone in your organization to try it out.
