PrintFactory has released Version 6 of its large-format software suite. The updated software includes color management and quality assurance enhancements for automated workflow. A control dashboard for production management with a web-based interface allows operators to identify and address inefficiencies; the dashboard provides track and trace IDs to show real-time job, printer, and cutter status, and it can share quality control measurement reports against set tolerances with the print buyer. Added tools for Visu MultiColor Engine include light adjustment for visual color adjustment, spot color functionality, and a color correction plug-in. Resource Manager for color profile database management enables ease of access and prevents corruption, the company reports.

Additional updates include a new RIP user interface, implementation of customer tracking QR codes, 64-bit conversion, PSB import up to 2 GB, and support for Mac OSX10.13.
