We are happy to announce that version 1.1 has been released and can be downloaded in our new downloads sections (On the main page menu). Version 1.1 contains a ton of new features and is 100% free to all users. Major new features are: PDF, EPS, and PostScript support, New fitting algorithm that improves the number of images that can fit on a page, Delete all button (one of our most requested new features), Duplicate (our second most requested feature), and Roll Length optimization. Roll length optimization will automatically resize your page at print time to remove any white space at the bottom. This way, users can utilize any page size they wish and not worry about any un-used area. This is especially helpful on roll paper.

Keep the feedback coming. We want to hear the features that you most want next. We plan to introduce new features in our next version due out in 3 or 4 months.

It is always a very good idea to delete your preferences file before installing a new version.  To do this go to user (your user name)/library/preferences and delete the file named com.bluecubit.ImageNest.plist   This will not delete your serial number and when installing a new version it will not be necessary to re-enter your serial number.

Version 1.1 will be available this week.

PDF, EPS, and PostScript file support,  Step and repeat (duplicate), New and much improved nesting algorithm, RAW auto DPI setting, are all currently in testing and we plan on a June release of all these features.

And the update will be 100% free to all customers

ImageNest version 1.1 is currently in beta and release is planed for late May or early June.  The update adds support for nesting PostScript®, EPS, PDF, and Multi-Page PDF files.   With this update, ImageNest will become a full PostScript RIP supporting almost every file format in use today– including many formats such as RAW, HDR, PSD, and DNG that few if any other RIP’s support.  This update will be 100% free to all existing customers.

To set up your HP Z series Leopard driver correctly first make sure you have “Printer Manages Color” set as the default in your ImageNest preferences. The first settings to configure when in the print dialog is the “Color Matching setting. Once configured remember that all settings can be saved under “Presets”.
