Testimonial

With the new Fine Line Rendering feature in Adobe PDF Print Engine 5.5, printers who migrate to Imaging Engine 20.1 will benefit from the latest Adobe rendering technology, while maintaining the look and feel of FlexRIP output. This is especially critical for barcodes, security printing and small point size text which has been outlined.
