Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) becomes available August 28th and ImageNest will not be far behind with our new Snow Leopard compatible version.   ImageNest 2.0 will be 100% ready for Snow Leopard when we release in mid to late September and will be fully 64 bit compatible.   By going to 64 bit ImageNest will be able to take advantage of the massive speed and memory improvements gained with 64 bit processing.   Prior to upgrading to Mac OSX 10.6 users should make certain that their current printer has a driver compatible with 64 bit applications.   As of today,  the only two drivers that we have seen that are 64 bit compatible are for the Epson 7900 and Epson 9900.   Hopefully we will see new drivers in the near future.
