‘After experiencing several problems
using Services for Macintosh on our new Windows 2003 server we
decided, on recommendation, to try the CYAN MacServerIP

two more simply because the solution was so easy to use,
trouble free, and very fast on the network.’

production environment! The new functionality with MacOSX and
long filenames really improved our workflow and the speed
enhancements to our RIP ‘Hot Folders’ have really made a
positive impact on our manufacturing figures.’
Graham Preston, Imageco

Multiple files and folders were transferred consistently at
rates two to three times faster than that of the standard NT
Macintosh services. ...MacServerIP product performed as
advertised -- and can be a great improvement for multiplatform

cyan soft ltd., the leading developer of high-caliber software
solutions for the pre-press & publishing industry, is
proud to announce the release of the Text-Corrections edition
of cyan eProof, the premier web proofing solution.
eProof has taken PDF proofing to the next level by adding
reliability, simplicity, and efficiency to the PDF proofing
process. On top of that, eProof enhances PDF proofing with
a unique formatted text editor, which allows correcting original
PDF text, and a number of additional proofing tools. In contrast
to PDF proofing workflows based on the proofing tools of the
full version of Acrobat 5, eProof provides its proofing tools
without requiring any software investments on the client’s
side - Windows and Mac users can easily proof and approve
jobs over the Internet using a standard web browser.
"Our customers and their clients emphasize that it is not
sufficient for their remote proofing to merely send a PDF
by e-mail or publish it on the Internet. What they need is
a truly reliable proofing process, where they can be absolutely
sure that all requested changes are made and re-approved,
and that it’s actually the latest version of the job that
the clients proofread and eventually release. eProof ensures
this reliability in the proofing workflow.", reported Frank
Petersen, marketing manager at cyan soft.
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) relies
on cyan eProof to easily and quickly collaborate
with its more than 20 branches Europe-wide for translating,
proofing and signing off its wide range of sales
materials: from leaflets, brochures and catalogues to big
boards. "The feedback about eProof was much more positive
than expected... very soon a complete switch to the new eProof
system was demanded by the European Ford branches. The new
eProof solution was apparently not only very easy to use,
it proved to be a highly appreciated simplification of Ford's
work", explains Klaus Dienstbier, General Manager of Staudt
Lithographie, Bochum (read more about eProof
