A lot has changed since the release of the

2013 version of EasySIGN. This brochure


will show you highlighted new and improved
features from the Maintenance Releases and
the features specially made for release 2014.
Create stunning signs in less time with
EasySIGN. This full featured Designing,
Plotting, Printing, Routing and Production
software is used to create award winning
signs all over the world. EasySIGN is the tool
of choice for quickly creating professional
eye-catching signs, displays, exhibition
stands, lettering and much more.

Advanced import

The advanced import has a new option called Crop to. This
option will let you crop the artwork to various special boxes
that are available within the PDF file format. This way you
can import a file as bitmap and use the Cropbox to reduce
the bitmap size to the artwork as present in the file, instead
of having to use the entire page format of the PDF file.
The Advanced import dialog also shows a new and better
preview. Further the anti-aliasing of bitmaps within the
Advanced Import filter has also been improved.

Bitmap manipulations

Apply cropping and Size image can now also be used on


bitmaps with an alpha channel.

Align Positioning cropmarks

EasySIGN now has the possibility to align the Alignment


cropmarks to a selection on the worksheet. You can also set
a margin for the alignment.

Add spot color

A new and very easy method to add a custom spot color.

Closed cropmarks

A new and improved type of cropmark object has been


added. This cropmark object is not dependent on the
cropmark layer, doesnt show unnecessary information in
the plot dialog when plotting by color and is compatible
with other software.

Cropmark effect

A new effect that groups selected objects together


and adds cropmarks to the group. You have the choice
between Print cropmarks, Plot cropmarks and Inverted
cropmarks. The cropmarks can have negative of positive
margins and a lot more options. Also the cropmarks are
compatible with other software.

Spot colors as special lines

It is now also possible to import hairlines as special lines


using spot colors. Create a spot color and in the Settings
dialog under the tab Import assign this spot color to the
desired special line.

Export transparency (PDF)

When exporting to PDF, bitmaps with an Alpha channel


keep that Alpha channel and are no longer flattened.

Third Party RIP Settings

It is now possible to choose between the default automatic


settings or manually add Hot Folders. This can be very
handy with a network setup for your Hot Folders.

Third Party RIP Print dialog

The Third Party RIP has been extended with lots of useful
options that will help you to obtain the best possible result
with a Print or Print & Cut workflow.

Third Party RIP without a RIP or printer

You now can use the Third Party RIP support even when
you outsource your print work.

Third Party RIP help file

A new help file about the Third Party RIP support, how to
manage Print and Print & Cut workflows and how to handle
color management has been added.

Overprint support

EasySIGN now supports Overprint features. Objects that


have an Overprint Fill or Overprint Line property assigned
to them will keep that property when exported to or
imported from PDF, EPS and AI.
A) The circle has no Overprint.
B) The circle has Overprint applied.
1) The design as displayed in design software.
2) The black film for the red color.
3) The black film for the yellow color.
4) The printed result.

Convert to color space

Converts all selected objects to the color space RGB or


CMYK. When working with Print, or Print & Cut workflows
it is essential to have the objects on your worksheet in the
same color space.

Create Boundary or Outline shape

Creates a new shape based on the boundary or the outline


of selected object(s). This shape can, for example be used
to print white in a print workflow.

Plot preview in production manager

EasySIGN now shows a preview in the Production Manager


which makes it easier to recognize the jobs you have
plotted. With color separated jobs the color is also shown
and even special lines will be displayed.

Font Manager

Manage your fonts directly within EasySIGN.


Make font selections based on TTF/OpenType,
TYPE1/ATM, SFN, ROMAN, SWISS, SCRIPT,
DECORATIVE and many more. Easily search a font
and apply it directly to the selected characters.
The Font manager is linked to the text editor and
therefore easy accessible. Every selected font can be
added to the Font Favorites dialog together with a
custom description. Instead of using the Font combo
to find a font, just use the Font Manager with quicker
access, easier search method and full preview of the
selected font.

Font Favorites

Add any selected font in the Font Manager


to a list of favorites. You can change the
name of the font (original name is shown
when selected) and add comments. In
the Font favorites dialog you can sort the
displayed favorites on name and comments.
When you select a font within this dialog a
preview of the selected font is shown.

Insert characters

The Insert characters dialog now shows all characters as


available within the font.

Border object

A new object with corners that can be set independent


from each other. Each corner can have a different radius
and corner type.

Distribute object(s) along path

Select one or more objects and distribute them along a


path as many times as you need. By using the properties
dialog you can set the number of duplicates.
