The installer uses a new "No dongle" license manager. During the installation you should select the "Add" option to install the license manager. After restarting the machine you should run the TIFF/ITflow application. It will report that a license is needed and will produce a file called Lcodes.txt. Please email that file back to support@luciddream.com and we will generate a temporary license for your use. When you receive this license file then use the Add License option in the Start menu to install the license and enable the software.

The new 1 bit TIFF support includes a wide variety of features to provide you with all the needed capabilities such as:

1. Compression of 1 bit TIFF's, Group 3 data compression or no compression can be applied in the software to achieve substantial reduction in file sizes and dramatically reduced network transfer times. In the future additional compression options may be added.

2. Striped TIFF for support of 1 bit TIFF recording software from Agfa. Either single or multi-striped TIFF data formats may be selected to provide support for practically any system on the market today.

3. Delta linearization support or named color calibration options. You may set your linearization curves within your Delta software to be applied during the Lucid screening process, or you may take calibration to a higher level and apply named color calibration within the Lucid Dream TIFF/ITflow software. This is very useful for 1 bit proofing solutions and special calibration for printing inks.

4. Advanced file naming setup. A wide variety of naming options are available to seamlessly integrate the output files from TIFF/ITflow into any kind of 1 bit imaging systems, including plating and proofing systems.

5. Job Ticket support with XML data format. Using the advanced job ticket handling, multiple output queues to single or multiple devices with any number of setups can be automatically configured. In addition multiple instances of TIFF/ITflow can be running with different parameters at the same time. So with one purchase of the software you may run any number of devices.

We welcome your feedback for additional features and input file formats.
