ArtPro 16.1.1 and PowerLayout 16.1.1
An update including bug fixes.
Color Pilot 18
A "Check Strategy" function for proofing has been implemented. This provides a simple way to verify that the proofer, its profile and color strategy have been correctly set up. A report is created which can be used to check compliance with color standards, and contains many details on individual colorants, patches and critical overprints. This feature replaces and improves upon the old Check Strategy tool of classic Color Engine Pilot.
Support for international standards:
- Import and export of CxF-4 files. Interchange spectral ink data including tints and overprints, with other compliant applications.
- Ability to use SCTV (Spot color tone value, ISO 20654): display in ink books, and to synchronize Equinox profiles. This metric provides more uniform visual spacing.
A useful metamerism tool and many other small fixes and improvements.

Note: the metallic ink mode of this proofer is not yet supported in 18.0
