Bundling the TIFF Image Printer with your Application for Resale!
TIFF Image Printer can be bundled as a branded driver that is tied to your software, this is referred to as an OEM License. Unlike other vendors our OEM Kit includes all supported platforms and all the functionality of the TIFF Image Printer. The OEM Kit makes it easy to create your custom set up in minutes. The OEM License is Royalty Free, in that it is not linked to the volume of sales of your end product. Where a bundled solution is not quite what you are looking for, we also provide the option to purchase TIFF Image Printer as you need and include it with your product for resale. For more details and to submit your request go to our Bundling webpage.

Control file size and image quality	Use the printer’s resolution to control the size and the quality of your TIFF image. A higher resolution (up to a maximum of 1200 DPI) will increase the image quality and size, while a lower resolution (to a minimum of 50 DPI) will decrease the image quality and size.
Create fax-ready TIFF images	Profile C and Additional Resolutions - With fax options for Profile S, Profile F and Profile C fax formats, a large selection of fax resolutions and new scaling and alignment options, you have all the options you need to meet the requirements of your fax program.
Wide range of TIFF format and compression options	Use TIFF Image Printers format and compression options to create the exact format of TIFF image you need. With support for legacy TIFF formats, and a wide range of compression options, you can create virtually any TIFF image required by your archival, fax or proprietary system.
Automatic Color Options	Automatically reduce your document image to the fewest number of colors possible without affecting image quality. Easily change this option if you need true color, grayscale or monochrome images.
Image processing	New with Version 8.0 - Take advantage of the built-in image processing features - rotate, crop, trim margins, and copy your images all in a single step. Resample the image to a particular resolution, pixel size or scale it to a percentage of the original size.
Output File Options	Create multi-paged or serialized TIFF images. Use the Append feature to append to a single, multi-paged TIFF image file, or to add on to a sequence of serialized TIFF images.
Custom file naming	Create images following a specific naming convention or store them in a certain location. Easily configure the advanced file naming features to meet your needs – be it for an archival, fax or other proprietary system.
Create TIFF images from any application	Works with any Windows application - if you can print it, then you can create a TIFF image.
Workflow Integration	Add custom processing before or after the TIFF creation process to streamline the TIFF creation into your existing workflow.
Programming and Automation	Control the printer settings through VB.Net, C#.Net or MFC\C++ to automate your TIFF creation through in-house or custom programs.

Released - November, 2008

TIFF Image Printer 8.0 was developed for and supports Microsoft® Windows 2008, Windows Vista (up to SP1), Windows 2003 (up to SP2), Windows XP (up to SP3) and Windows 2000 (up to SP4)Rollup#1.

TIFF Image Printer 8.0 can be licensed on Microsoft® Windows 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000.

Platform updates in TIFF Image Printer 8.0

• Support for Microsoft® Windows 2008
• Support for SP1 for Windows Vista
• Support for SP3 for Windows XP

Updated and enhanced fax support:

• Added support for creating Profile C color fax images.
• Added the ability to create fax format TIFF images in Letter, Legal, A4(ISO), A3(ISO) and B4(ISO) paper sizes.
• Added support for new fax resolutions 100x100, 204x391, 300x600, 400x800, 600x600, 600x1200, and 1200x1200.
• Added the ability to control how the fax image is scaled and its alignment on the fax-sized page.

Added the ability to do page and image processing:

• Automatically trim page margins based on a customizable intensity level
• Crop and discard image margins or crop and keep an inside area of the image
• Adjust the image brightness level
• Copy all or part of the image to a new page of the same or different size, and choose scaling and alignment of the new image.

New image resampling features allow you to scale the output image to a particular width and height. The new dimensions can be set using:

Pixels

• as a percentage of the original size
• or by setting a new image resolution (DPI).

All printing is processed synchronously with the print job in the print spooler. The print job is held in the print queue until the TIFF file is created and is ready for further processing. This is different from the previous versions of the driver and should simplify the automation process for application developers who are watching the printer queue to determine when the TIFF file is created.

Control Strings can now be enabled or disabled. Control Strings are disabled when TIFF Image Printer 8.0 is installed

Improved the text extraction algorithm and added new features:

• Added text layout options to better preserve the formatting of the text in the original document
• Text extraction files encoded as ANSII, UTF-8 or UTF-16
• Emulate Windows, Unix or Mac end-of-line encoding
• Emit page breaks in the text file

A reduced fax mode palette is now used when creating Profile S and Profile F fax format TIFF images.

Units for custom paper size, image processing and page processing are now entered as inches (English units) or centimeters (Metric units).

Fixed the following issues:

• Fixed problem where appending files with text extraction is turned on would overwrite text file content instead of appending.
• Fixed problem with narrow margins and missing borders when the printing a page with a border that is very close to the page edge.
• Fixed problem where Profile F fax was created with the wrong fill order. Profile F fax was being created with MSB2LSB fill order when it should be LSB2MSB.
• Fixed problem where an A4 paper size and 0” margins in Word gives the error message “The margins in section 1 are outside the printable area of the page”.
