Ready for Open Type Fonts

With the FontRAT utility, Resource Access Table for TrueType, OpenType fonts can be quickly created and updated for the latest AFP system to use a variety of TrueType / OpenType fonts directly.

Compression & Encryption

MakeAFP utilities allow you to compress & encrypt data quickly by the 256-bit AES; and decrypt the data protected by AES 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit which are compatible with WinZip, PKZIP, and other popular formats.

MakeAFP reprocessing/engineering (extract, split, sort, and reprint) utilities are capable of reading AFP data stream from zipped and encrypted AFP files directly, and the enhanced print submit utility also allows you to submit a compressed & encrypted file to InfoPrint Manager directly, improving your data security, disk storage, and I/O, data transmission, operation processing flow tremendously.

Efficient AFP Production with big cost savings

Whether you are a novice or an AFP expert, MakeAFP utilities empower you to deal with AFP easily and maximize your daily mission-critical productivity.

Most transactional AFP jobs such as statements and bills are usually very large. Printing such a large print job in a specific line can cause an operational bottleneck in any print bureau. For workload balancing, splitting these large jobs into manageable smaller AFP segment files and then print them concurrently over several production printers can greatly alleviate these bottlenecks and increase the job turnaround time. With MakeAFP Utilities, you can split such big AFP jobs quickly, and with MakeAFP mail-piece page boundary control, the pages that belong to a group are impossible to be split into separated AFP files.

Statements and bills are the most important medium of communication an organization can have with its customers. Each of them must be created, printed, and delivered efficiently with a high level of integrity, but reprinting the pages that are damaged or lost by pre-post inserter devices or mailing systems is always a big challenge. Now MakeAFP Utilities empower you to extract multiple ranges of pages or reprint selected pages quickly.

Most Print Bureaus need the AFP pages to be separated by the number of pages per mail-pieces, and AFP pages to be sorted by the postal code, Postal Systems encourage these sorting activities by offering postage rebates and discounts to optimize their postal operations and speed up the delivery. Now MakeAFP Utilities empower you with great capabilities to increase efficiency and significantly reduce your postage cost.

Higher Printing Quality

With the powerful MakeAFP utilities, you can instantly replace old AFP raster fonts used in your current AFP files with AFP outline fonts, or OpenType/ TrueType fonts, which offers superior performance and printing quality on the new generation of IPDS printers and AFP data stream can be easily viewed and transformed to other e-Statement formats across platforms.

Secured Auto-Workflow

With the powerful multithread AutoMakeAFP utility, once your data file, or compressed & encrypted input data file is placed in the user's designated watching directories, it is auto-dispatched to the appropriate procedures for the subsequent processes of formatting, AFP splitting & sorting, printing, and input files retention or deletion. Adding data security and automation workflow, saving disk space tremendously.
