Calamus SL2002 is here (02.11.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)

The year 2001 is not even quite over, but Calamus SL 2002 is already here. Completely surprisingly, invers Software released the brand new version of its professional layout and media production application. And the innovations are numerous:

• Calamus SL2002 offers a real print preview of the current documents on the screen. You can control all print parameters, separation settings, spot colours, transparencies, screenings, imposition methods, fine data embedding directly on the screen before printing. The new bleed elements (grey wedge, colour wedge) as well as rotating different bleed area margins offer you even more production security.
• Up to now you could use up to 999,999 pages and 9,999 master pages per document in Calamus. SL2002 takes you a big step further: Use as many layers as you like per page or master page to structure the page contents even further. Create multilingual documents, catalogues with different prices, complex layouts in no time at all. Layers that are not needed are simply hidden and not printed out. Of course, multiple automated text flow chains per page are now possible. With the groupable layers you save even more time when creating the basic layout.
• With Calamus SL2002 you gain more time and overview with large documents. The new text ruler management offers all possibilities to design even very large documents (books, journals, diploma and doctoral theses, reference books etc.) faster than ever before. You select defined text rulers directly in the document layout and use the new coloured rulers to see and correct design errors immediately. Global text layout changes are possible with one mouse click.
• Finally you can colour palette images directly in Calamus - and of course with spot colours. With a few mouse clicks you adjust scanned company logos to the right customer colours. Create new effects with coloured images. Colour masking of images with spot colours is now superfluous, which also makes printing and exposure even faster. You always wanted to be able to use properly graded duplex images in Calamus, with spot colours or palette colours? Or even triplex, quadruplex images? SL2002 makes it easy for you. Palette colours like HKS can now be calibrated on the screen and easily converted into other colour spaces.
• The user interface has also been revised and now finally offers a preview when laying out documents.
• Numerous modules and drivers have been revised and are available in new versions in the scope of delivery and as add-ons.
• The CD-ROM contains the contents of the SL2002 complete manual as HTML output.

At the same time invers Software published its new price list which is valid from 01 November. The complete package Calamus SLC2002 (with all modules) costs DM 5865.53.
