Features at a Glance
New Improved Version 2
Overdrive 2 has been completely rewritten to provide both true 64-bit Cocoa application support for Mac OS X 10.8 and later. Overdrive now takes full advantage of the multi-core processors in today's machines, so processing is significantly faster. A new visual interface lets you preview the selected file, and the Job List now contains scalable thumbnails. Proofing accuracy and text quality are improved with version 2. Overdrive Layout is included with every license of Overdrive.
Accurate CYMK proofing — no CMYK media profiles necessary!
• Automatically print an IDEAlliance color bar with each job for easy proof verification using your X-Rite device
• Internal testing shows Overdrive 2 consistently achieves a Delta E(ab) average of 0.8 or lower from an IT8.7/4 target on Epson and Canon printers, well within industry standards of 1.5 maximum average
Full PostScript® Support
Why waste valuable time manually configuring your print driver with every single print? There's no need to risk wasted ink and paper "accidents" due to forgotten or mismatched menu selections. Overdrive lets you build print environments so there's only one selection needed at print time. Page format and color errors are minimized by merging all of your printing parameters into a single click.
Overdrive is a PostScript® RIP that delivers high-end color, accurate proofing and Pantone® matching.
