Enfocus announces updates in wide-format software

Enfocus’ latest releases of PitStop 24.03 and Griffin 24.03 have unpacked innovative features designed to streamline wide-format print production. With an emphasis on powerful new editing capabilities and seamless workflow integration, these updates enhance efficiency, quality, and collaboration for print service providers (PSPs). PitStop Pro and Griffin now work effortlessly together. For printers using Griffin, it’s as simple as opening a 1-Up file, sending it to PitStop Pro to add cut lines and bleed, performing preflight – or using any other PitStop feature – then saving to update the file in Griffin.

This upgraded PitStop 24.03 introduces features that address significant challenges in the print production process, including Fill to Stroke. A typical pain point in cutting is when the cut lines are converted into a shape and are no longer usable as cut lines in production. For example, instead of a stroked circle with a clear cut line, you get a shape made of two sub paths (an outer circle and an inner circle). Those shapes cannot be sent to production for print and cutting. Typical fixes are time-consuming, stall production, and require asking the customer to supply a new file or getting prepress to redraw the shape and take ownership of any unexpected changes.
