“Making this important capability available from a variety of menu hierarchies, as well as through Action Lists, helps streamline complex prepress workflows,” adds Vanmaele.

In addition, the PitStop Pro Inspector panel contains interactive Channel Remap functionality within the Separations section.

In PitStop Pro 10 Update 3, Remap Channels can be accessed through Remap Colors within the Global Changes menu and within Action Lists, meaning that the functionality can also be used in PitStop Server. Vanmaele points out that Channel Remap allows users to easily replace an unwanted spot color with the correct spot color, remove a spot color channel altogether, convert a CMYK color to a spot color, or convert a spot color to CMYK as appropriate. This is important for increasingly time-sensitive workflows, minimizing the potential for expensive errors in the printed job.” “With the new Channel Remap functionality in Update 3 of PitStop Pro 10 and PitStop Server 10, unwanted spot color separations can easily and accurately be replaced with another spot color, or with a specific CMYK color. “Printers are still receiving PDFs that contain unwanted or incorrect spot color separations,” says Leen Vanmaele, Product Manager, Enfocus. In addition, Version 10 Update 3 of both PitStop Pro and PitStop Server includes new channel remapping capabilities and more power, control and flexibility for color conversion. Enfocus has added support for the recently released Mac OS X 10.7 Lion operating system to its PitStop Pro and PitStop Server technology.
