ArtPro+ brings innovation to packaging design

Packaging Solutions

Esko’s ArtPro+, a PDF Native packaging design and pre-press editor for packaging professionals, is now available with the newly launched Esko Software Platform. ArtPro+ features a complete clean sheet design. The innovative pre-press editor runs on both PC and Mac, features a 64-bit architecture and is 100% PDF native. A no charge upgrade is available to existing ArtPro and PackEdge customers on maintenance contracts.

According to Bernard Zwaenepoel, senior vice president, Software: ‘Users who have adopted ArtPro+ have already consistently reported greater efficiency and faster job turnaround using the new editor.’

ArtPro+’s intuitive user interface features a tool selector wheel that provides the user instant access to the right tools wherever he happens to be working in the design, removing all clutter from the screen.

To get the most out of ArtPro+, it can be integrated with an automated workflow that performs repetitive tasks in the background. This increased automation means that operators can be freed from mundane and repetitive ‘click’ tasks, releasing them to focus on quality control and exception processing.

While ArtPro+ is a clean sheet design, Esko has maintained compatibility with previous versions to ensure a smooth transition during and after the upgrade process for existing users. All archived files from Esko editors remain fully editable in ArtPro+.

In addition, in October, subscription options will become available that convert the ArtPro+ investment from a capital to an operating expense.
