ArtPro+ companion application

• This release of PackEdge includes a first version of the new editor that Esko is developing based on a brand new 64 bit application framework.
• At this stage ArtPro+ is a “companion application” of PackEdge with limited functionality focused on quality control of artwork and separations.
• Frequent updates of ArtPro+ will be released each time extending its functionality to gradually cover all key functions of PackEdge. This will allow you to become familiar with the new editor and decide when the time is right for you to switch from PackEdge to ArtPro+.
• ArtPro+ currently uses the same software license as PackEdge 14. Only one license is required to run both applications on the same computer.
