MyPRINTResource.com/10007761 TWIST 7.5 Dalin Software has announced the launch of TWIST 7.5, an update of its production automation software. The new features in TWIST extends the software's reach beyond its tradition- al print production and image work- fows to support media production for the brand enterprise. In doing so, production automation is expanded from business process management to fnal fle processing—from pre- fight to image handling to video. TWIST 7.5 supports new image fle formats that are commonly used by photographers (Raw), retouchers (Adobe Photoshop's psd) and web por- tals (png) to improve image handling in design, marketing and ad agencies. All of this adds functionality to fle handling for documents for print, publications and image workfows for automation, while overall performance has been increased as well. And in order to simplify interaction with TWIST workfows, Dalim Soft- ware is providing the new TWIST Link plugin, which provides an easy- to-use connection to a TWIST media workfow engine, for fle processing directly from Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator. Based on Adobe's standard PDF export and the Dalim Software WEBLINK API, TWIST Link removes the complexity of PDF creation and fle transfer with one simple user interface, and sends any document to a selected TWIST workfow. The TWIST Link plugins are available free of charge on www.dalim.com . TWIST 7.5 is available now.Apple- ton Coated Fiscal Opaque is avail- able in 26, 27, 30, 35, and 40-pound basis weights in rolls only for offset and web inkjet. MyPRINTResource.com/ 10004763
