Further praise for the Phantasm CS range

Reviews have been regularly appearing for the newly extended Phantasm CS range with the release of the Designer and Studio versions. The latest selection from both Europe and the States continues to emphasise the universal praise this essential Illustrator plugin is receiving...

LAYERS magazine

Layers Magazine, Jul/Aug 2008

“Studio's prepress options are so important that I wonder why it took a third-party company to add the features to Illustrator (now in its 13th version).”

Layers rating: 5/5

PC Pro

PC Pro, August 2008
Real World Computing: Living Colour

“It's been a long haul, but after 20 years... it finally feels possible for designers to successfully take full control of their CMYK colour handling.

Computer Arts

Computer Arts, July 2008

“Some neat duotone and halftone tools are useful, and separations and overprint previews confirm this as a pro tool at a very un-pro price.”

Highly recommended

“What I was able to do in 2-3 minutes would have taken an hour if I had to edit each gradient independently. Phantasm CS has already paid for itself. Thank you.”

Kent Baker, Research and Technical Services, PrintingForLess.com
