Global Vision, the industry leader in the development of innovative proofreading technologies, today announced the release of ArtProof, the world’s first 64-bit artwork inspection software compatible with both Mac OS and Windows environments.

Developed with enhancements for the graphic design, pre-press and printing industry, ArtProof inspects artwork with pixel precision, dramatically increasing packaging accuracy while reducing approval times. ArtProof quickly detects and identifies missing or added text, graphics, incorrect fonts and text sizes, as well as colour deviations.

ArtProof benefits:

• Native Mac OS and Windows support
• Inspect artwork files
• Reduce approval cycles by catching errors early
• Shorten time to market
• Avoid costly errors for file revisions and proofs
• Check supplier proofs to ensure accuracy

"Working with our pre-press clients, we have designed ArtProof using our new 64-bit architecture, making this solution capable of handling very large files with ease. We have seen dramatic increases in speed and file size handling," explained Reuben Malz, president, Global Vision. "By also making ArtProof available for Mac OS and Windows environments, we have given the pre-press industry a flexible tool needed to ensure artwork accuracy."
