CADlink Announces Release Of Next Teneration Sign Making Software, SignLab Version 8

Ottawa, ON - CADlink Technology Corporation is pleased to announce the the latest release of the SignLab sign making software product line, SignLab Version 8. This new release centers around enhancing the design front-end and complimenting it with a brand new production-oriented back-end queue system, Visual Production Manager. Bolstering an already impressive design engine, SignLab Version 8 now includes an additional 75 special effects plug-ins and comes bundled with a complete bitmap editing application. The SignLab Vinyl package now also includes the pro text composition and color vectorizing features. Newly added to the SignLab Vinyl Pro package are all of the design and special effects tools previously only found in the top-of-the-line SignLab Print and Cut package.

Visual Production Manager (VPM) is a multiple queue, multiple printer system that is a “must have” for all signshops that digitally print signs on a daily basis. It includes fully automated job management settings for high-volume shops but can also be run completely manually for those shops specializing in lower volume custom sign printing.

“We are extremely excited about the release of SignLab Version 8.” says Jim Ramsden, CADlink President. “Our Print and Cut product is specifically designed for customers creating wide format digital print output. It has all of the design features a signmaker needs and lessens the reliance on any other design applications,” continues Ramsden, “that in itself saves our customers from having to purchase and learn other software packages and when you combine that with VPM, you now also add all of the job management features that save time and consumable costs as well. The SignLab product line also includes two packages for shops that still primarily cut vinyl. "Vinyl" and "Vinyl Pro" include all of the tools these customers would need at very competitive prices.”

SignLab Version 8 includes the following key features:

• Visual Production Manager (VPM). A unique multiple queue and printer system designed for simultaneous printing.
• Over 75 new special effects plug-ins.
• HalfCut. An automated decal creator for print and cut devices.
• Color Vectorization Wizard. Take the poorest quality bitmaps and vectorize them quickly and easily.
• Publish to .pdf with color matching. Send your customers .pdf proofs that actually color match when they review them on their screens.
• As an added bonus, all customers purchasing SignLab 8 Print and Cut will also receive a special CADlink version of Fluid Mask™ software (value $200 USD), recognized worldwide as a leading image masking application.
