Fusion Systems International (https://www.FusionSystems.com) today announced immediate the release of Version 1.2 of the Fusion Print Production Manager (PPM), a Web-based production management tool for prepress departments and managers. What’s notable about this release is that it supports Mac-Intel, in addition to PowerPC, computers.
PPM is ideal for busy shops that need the ability to quickly determine the status of their production environment with respect to job submission, queueing, and completion to any number of output formats, monochrome or color proofers, film, or final plate imagers.
Free evaluation copies are available from the Downloads page of the company’s Website at https://www.FusionSystems.com. This version of PPM requires a production quality Fusion RIP for Mac OS X version 7.2 in order to operate.
Fusion Print Production Manager provides an elegant means for controlling and monitoring production processes such as preflight, imposition, trapping, color management, file rasterization or conversion, and output to proofing, film or plate separations. The easy-to-use Web-browser-based GUI allows for monitoring production processes to keep work moving on time to completion. Highly cost effective and easy to integrate into existing workflows, it covers three critical elements of job process control: queue management, job control, and real-time status and information reporting.
In addition, Fusion Print Production Manager provides ROAM capabilities at separate LAN-client workstations. This extended feature allows up to five production operators to simultaneously preview raster (ripped) data to ensure quality control prior to releasing a job for final output.
