With new plug-ins that help simulate textured papers, special inks, metallics and embossing, this software tool for producing a 3D virtual proof of a finished document from the PDF file, has got more powerful.

Many of these new techniques have previously been nigh-on impossible to predict without actually making a mock up and giving designers the tools to predict the results on their Macs may make them more willing to experiment with added value print. FFEI certainly thinks there’s widespread potential for RealVue 3D with a new server version to allow multiple users in a studio to create 3D proofs and a developer version to allow third-party firms to integrate the technology into their own products.
