AVA 4.1 - New features & Innovations

Building on the 4.0 milestone release, AVA 4.1 now marks the beginning of the new structured release cycle. This release continues to build on all the latest development and advances in technology bringing you significant performance, speed and improved stability, plus new features quicker than ever before!


New Quick Colourways templates
AVA 4.1 sees the welcome return of Quick Colourways templates, incorporating a new file format, making it easier than ever to save and share layouts.
With improvements in stability, embedding and extra graphic tools plus the ability to lock/unlock objects, Quick Colourways is now, more than ever before, a much smoother user experience.


Smoother, quicker brushing
AVA 4.1 sees a marked improvement in brush speed and smoothness. In our tests AVA 4.1 brushes are significantly more fluid than in previous versions, with less delay and stagger upon live screen updating.


Combine to Layer using selections
Users can now use Combine to Layer with an active selection, allowing combinations of different areas of design info to be added onto a new/relevant layer. This welcome enhancement was much requested by AVA users who continually need to manipulate or combine colour information from layer to layer.


Colourway Browser enhanced
Since the Colourway Browser launch in the huge AVA 4.0 release, we have been working hard to improve the functionality of this already practical feature. Users can now swap, edit and manage colourways easier than ever before.


Design window toolbar
AVA 4.1 sees the addition of a customisable toolbar in the Design window. The toolbar already includes many essential functions which users will be able to utilise straight away, with an open option to request for more.



Easier AVA installation and configuration
AVA 4.1 introduces an easier, more automated way of entering your installation code. Valid AVA customers with a constant broadband connection can now simply click once, and their installation code is inserted into the Set Install code application from the AVA Server, automatically.



Picker colours with customised transparency
Users of the AVA Multiview picker can now customise the transparency level of chosen picker colours using the additional transparency slider.


In-RIP Spot printing
In AVA Digital Print RIP, configuring and printing of additional pre and post colour spot layers has been merged into AVA Digital Print RIP. The new method is simplified so users need not access the separate AVA Spot Printer application any more.
