Screening made easy
-The screening quality tool enables operators to view, control and apply screening on separate parts of the artwork. Different colors project different screening applications without the need to rip the job.
Trapping

-Manually trapping packaging artwork can take hours and requires highly skilled professionals.

-The new trapper in ArtPro+ 20 handles highly complex packaging designs. ArtPro+ can trap files fully automatically. Exceptions can be saved and will be used after a change is made to the file, so there’s no need to retrap the whole file.

-ArtPro+ features a new automatic trapping mode for reverse trapping. This makes creating bi-directional gaps for dry offset very easy!

Text recognition
ArtPro+ recognizes text objects in a PDF and combines them in to meaningful textboxes. New character and font recognition functionality also turn outlined fonts into editable text for easy amends. Text changes in outlined text can now be performed as efficiently as live text.

Font Activation
Integration with Extensis Universal Type Server significantly reduces time spent on copy changes and amends. The necessary fonts are activated automatically, and text changes can be completed with total confidence.

PDF Action Lists
PDF Action Lists automate prepress tasks without special programming or scripting skills. In ArtPro+, simply drag actions into a list. These can be used directly in ArtPro+ or run fully automated in an Esko Automation Engine workflow. It’s the perfect way to get rid of repetitive tasks that take time but must be performed manually time and again.

-ArtPro+: Dimension Lines

Dimension Lines
Adding measurement information to packaging artwork is labor intense and slow. The new configurable dimensioning tool helps draw dimension lines to any selected object.

Barcode Recognition
-In ArtPro+, barcodes that were supplied with the artwork (but might not be verified) can safely be converted into reliable Esko barcodes. A compare feature highlights any deviation to make sure that customizations are captured. Doing it with ArtPro+ you can work faster and eliminate the chance of making mistakes while creating a new barcode.
