Canto Partner Moksa Brings Font Management to Cumulus

TypeTrax, new from Canto partner Moksa, links Cumulus with Insider Software’s FontAgent Pro and Adobe’s InDesign and Illustrator. The product enables Cumulus-based creative groups to see and manage the fonts used in their InDesign and Illustrator documents, right from within Cumulus.

It works like this: Users drag documents into Cumulus and, in addition to all the metadata extraction and other powerful functions Cumulus performs while cataloging, the document’s fonts are detected and cataloged by TypeTrax, ensuring no document is cataloged without the important font information needed to print the document—tomorrow or even ten years from tomorrow.

Visual font representations are available inside Cumulus, so you can easily see which fonts a document uses, and also see which documents use a given font. Plus, you can send your documents to the printer confident they’re ready to go, thanks to the robust pre-flighting TypeTrax offers.

At a price point of only $99 per workstation license, this product is a no-brainer for any organization that uses Cumulus with the Adobe Creative Suite.
