PosterArtist 2009 boosts Canon imagePrograf
Canon launches PosterArtist 2009 for its imagePROGRAF large format printer line to help boost in-house design efficiencies.
The new software is a poster-creation application with a range of new design features to make in-house poster production easier, with better quality output. The range will be sold through Alloys, GBC, DES, Anitech and Canon’s regional business partner channel.
With the use of large format inkjet printers continuing to expand in a variety of different vertical markets, there has been an increasing demand for a simplified poster creation workflow targeted for the novice user. With PosterArtist 2009, Canon's fourth generation of PosterArtist software, the latest additions and improvements provide users with the ability to produce professional, high-quality posters.
According to Jeremy Plint, marketing manager - office imaging products at Canon, the application provides the tools necessary to create design-savvy posters without the need for a graphic design specialist.
“What this means is that in addition to the time and cost savings for large format print jobs that may previously have been outsourced, companies will be able to innovate and try new things,” he said. “This in itself can lead to new creative and commercial opportunities.”
