ColorBreaker ends that. It is absolutely accurate and unbelievably fast. ColorBreaker produces much more detailed and precise labels than if done by hand. It places ‘tags’ that contain the colour information and accurately point out each coloured item and coloured text block with an arrow. This information contains everything your printer will need. COPYFLOW Import and export text & artwork into QuarkXPress layouts The administrator can set different user profiles. A user for example can’t change the layout, but he can work on the text. Other users can only look at a document, or print it. The protection is for opening a document only, if BodyguardXT is in action. Else the document is closed for strange acting. CopyFlow enhances the use of QuarkXPress for many professional publishing applications, including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, newspapers, directories, advertisements, and catalogs. CopyFlow automates the batch import and export of files into layouts, and dramatically increases the speed of document production. It is particularly useful where volume is high, production involves multiple revisions, and deadlines are tight. Use CopyFlow to save time, eliminate steps, and gain control of production. BUMPCITY DOCUSLIM ENHANCED Say goodbye to those pesky menus and dialogs, just bump it! DocuSlim optimizes images in Photoshop and then reimports them Everybody who uses QuarkXPress has a constant need to “bump” items, groups, text, lines, etc. to the left, the right, make a little bigger, smaller, thicker, etc. BumpCity provides you with a metropolis of functionality. Use the various arrowed bumpers to make minor adjustments within your layouts. Depending on whether you are in contents mode or move mode, it will behave differently. Originally, DocuSlim was created to ‘slim’ documents down by getting rid of excess image BODYGUARD XT Make sure your documents will be yours all the time COLORBREAKER Automatically “ColourBreaks” any QuarkXPress document Colour markup of documents is a time consuming task that art directors and production managers have been doing manually since the +31 (0)570 - 627878 +31 (0)570 - 608300 3 Visit www.xcite-international.com for more information,product demos,and special pricing Enhance Preview XT Photoshop-Quality Picture Previews in QuarkXPress Without EPXT With EPXT material and reducing excessive resolution. Gluon soon realized the potential for much more and now ‘slimming’ is just one of many functions. Essentially, DocuSlim has the ability to run through a QuarkXPress document and make decisions about which images need work. Each image is opened in Adobe Photoshop and can be processed in one of these combinations: • Cropped with a ‘safety’ amount left in • Resized to appear as 100% in QuarkXPress • Resolution changed to a user-defined value • Colour Model changed to a user-defined value • Rotated or skewed to be 0% in XPress • LZW compression on/off Additional options are only available in the Enhanced Version including: • Image file format change • Lo-res version of image can also be generated for OPI purposes • Additional Photoshop Actions • AppleScript support Graphics pros know they’re supposed to scale to 100%, crop any excess and unrotate their images once they’re done with a design, but few people actually take the time to do these things. The problem is that this sort of work is very exacting and time consuming. If you need to see it, EPXT it! Imagine seeing all of your pictures in QuarkXPress® just like you see them in Photoshop®. Crisp, clear, razor-sharp.With EPXT, you can! Just think of the benefits of being able to view high-resolution images at zoom magnifications up to 800%, instead of the standard low-res pixelated previews that you are currently forced to work with. Now you can crop with confidence, align graphics with graphics, and place text over images accurately. You can even fix or create clipping paths, and finesse runarounds. You can see soft shadows, blends and glows, where before you saw "black blobs" or "jaggies." EPXT even makes previews more color accurate (especially raster EPS files) for on-screen soft-proofing. With EPXT you don't have to constantly output laser prints or color proofs to see what you're producing. With EPXT there's no more guesswork! EPXT enhances the display of all color, grayscale, and black and white pixel-based images supported by QuarkXPress or pictureimport XTensions, without increasing your document size. Users of EPXT - Special Edition, if you like what you see using this “lite” version (available from Quark.com and included with QuarkXPress 4.1) you’ll really appreciate being able to see ALL of your images as enhanced previews, as well as enjoy the extended features available in the full product. Design may not be able to take an hour or two out of their extremely tight schedule to optimize images. DocuSlim can take this lengthy and tedious task and make it totally automated. The user can simply choose their settings and then walk away while DocuSlim does the work. ENHANCE PREVIEW XT Enhances your previews in QuarkXPress You know the drill; you think you’ve placed and framed your images perfectly, and positioned your text & rules just so. In fact, everything looks prefect on screen, and on your laser printer... until you get final film and a laminated proof. Then uh-oh! Suddenly you see a one pixel gap between a picture and it’s border, some critical piece of line work or artwork isn’t aligned. The customer says it’s unacceptable. Well, Enhance Preview XT can change all that. EPXT will let you see things in QuarkXPress that until now, you could only see by going back to your image editing application, or worse yet, on your high-resolution output film and proof. EURO HYPHENATOR Hyphenation XT for almost all European languages Euro Hyphenator can automatically hyphenate virtually every European language. The built in TALO technology is based on a linguistic pattern recognition system that does not focus on an ordinary dictionary but on historical roots of syllables, resulting in an accuracy rate of 99.95%. As a user you can create your own list with exceptions. A list that can be made available to other users through a client / server structure. Koyosha Graphics of America, Inc. MW Euro Hyphenator is available for a great number of languages and as a bundle with speller XT. Salvage, Convert and Automate!

For an automated version of FontIncluder, FontIncluder Pro Server is available. Flipster can flip pages without losing the integrity of the design. Much more than a simple mirror tool, Flipster actually figures out a new layout and repositions boxes.
