According to the developer the latest edition of Metrix includes a number of new features such as Auto Sheet Size, which optimises the layout of products on a single sheet size for a specific press and printing method.

Metrix 2010.0 features user logins, passwords, and permissions, preventing unqualified personnel from making changes to the Metrix database or to production-critical press-ready standard layouts. Metrix security ensures not only data integrity, but standardisation across the enterprise, according to LithoTechnics.

The company adds that the new system also introduces the ability to add layout dimensions – a critical part of the Metrix project report – with the click of a button, simplifying and speeding this task.

Rohan Holt, president of LithoTechnics says “With each new release we draw closer and closer to our goal of totally automating the production-critical areas of job planning and imposition. The Auto Sheet Size feature makes Metrix 2010.0 especially exciting, as it rounds out and extends the existing automation features – Auto Layout and Auto Plan.”

Holt continues, “Our customers have repeatedly told us that Metrix is key in helping them to stay competitive in this tough economic environment, and we are proud to develop and deliver tools that play a part in helping our customers thrive.”
