About VPS+

For For compatibility with the latest Mac systems, a completely different code base was used to develop the new VPS+, and the user experience has a completely different look-and-feel from the original VPS “Classic”.

VPS+ Known Limitations
- VPS+ cannot view the front and back of an imposition at the same time, sides can only be viewed individually.
- Resolution of images at certain zoom percentages is not as sharp as VPS Classic
- Speed when changing zoom levels is not as fast as VPS Classic. (VPS Classic is faster because it pre-renders a defined set of zoom levels. VPS+ allows any zoom percentage, but pays a price for this flexibility in terms of speed. Future versions of VPS+ will move to pre-rendered views to improve performance.)
- Ink Coverage is calculated in the Separations Inventory panel in VPS+, but there is no UI to allow users to compare ink usage between Candidate and Reference files.
- VPS+ on Windows still runs in 32-bit mode and has a limited memory footprint. Certain files that are too large will cause it to crash when attempting to load the files.
