  • Designer Pro 2017 delivers new levels of functionality and simplicity. Even first time users can design professional labels in minutes. Setting up dynamic data such as variables, functions and database has never been easier.
  • Designer Pro 2017 allows the designer to customize the all-in-one print form to further streamline the print process or optimize for touch screens to further increase print productivity.
  • Designer Pro 2017 offers more licensing flexibility with the new multi-user edition. The multi-user edition can be used on any number of workstations. The multi-user license only limits the amount of printers, not the number of users. Next-generation licensing technology does not require the use of a license manager or separate server, it just works without any configuration or maintenance.

New in NiceLabel Pro 6.5 Build 12500 (Nov 13, 2015)

  • NICELABELS IS CERTIFIED FOR WINDOWS 10:
  • NiceLabel Designers are certified to work with Windows 10 operating system. NiceLabel therefore guarantees errorless label designing, form creating, and use of the entire suite of included features with the latest edition of Windows operating system.

  • Shipping (PTI Voice Pick Code, DPD, Tesco, UPS, USPS, Walmart)
  • VARIABLE DATA LOADING IN PRINT DIALOG:
  • With release 6.5, NiceLabel Pro print dialog allows adding variable data while the print dialog is active. After selecting and confirming the data source file, variable values are automatically initialized with values that are taken from the selected file.
  • Two data file layout types are supported, the first being XML data structure, and the second being plain text. Choose what fits your environment best.
  • Since this new feature significantly simplifies variable data defining at print time, using it enhances productivity, saves time and reduces label design related costs.
  • ADDITIONAL STOCKS AVAILABLE:
  • TEXIT stocks for cable identification
  • Computype stocks for various labeling applications in pharmacy, labs and
  • libraries
  • Citizen System stocks for various purposes
  • These stocks are label templates with predefined label dimensions, so you don’t have to create them yourself. All new stock types are part of the standard build they can be found at Label setup Stocks
  • UPDATED FORMATTING OF FOOD ALLERGENS:
  • in addition to Food Allergen support as introduced with NiceLabel release 6.3, the allergens now preserve the specified case of the allergen term. For example, if an allergen is given a capital initial letter in the database the formatted word in NiceLabel release 6.5 is also displayed with a capital initial letter.
  • With release 6.5, the allergens additionally allow color coding using the RGB color scale in 000000 hex syntax. The first two characters provide data for red component, the middle two for green and the last two for blue component.
  • CODE128 CODING MODE ALGORITHM OPTIMIZATION:
  • The barcode type Code128 includes data/command elements that can encode the same type of data using different methods. This results in shorter or longer barcode symbols. Obviously, NiceLabel software strives to generate the shortest possible barcode symbol.The latest version of NiceLabel software implements an optimized Code128 encoding Algorithm resulting in the shortest possible barcodes. Such barcode occupies less space on the label.
  • UPDATED SUPPORT FOR GS1 BARCODES:
  • The GS1 Specifications document has been updated. The latest standard now dates from January 2015. As a consequence, NiceLabel Designers have been updated with the latest stack of GS1 Application Identifiers.
  • The following Application Identifiers have been added with release 6.5:
  • 7005 (Catch Area)
  • 7006 (First Freeze Date)
  • 7007 (Harvest Date)
  • 7008 (Species for Fishery Purposes)
  • 7009 (Fishing Gear Type)
  • 7010 (Production Method)
  • TEXT BOX SUPPORT FOR STAND-ALONE PRINTING:
  • NiceLabel software is in certain cases used only for label designing and not for
  • actual label printing. In such cases, NiceLabel usually saves the label template inside the printer memory, from where it can be retrieved via various events. The type of printing during which the label design software is not involved at print time, is referred to as “ stand alone printing”. The variety of available objects in the stand alone printing scenario depends on the capabilities of the target marking device. In most cases a single line of text (such as current date/time and counter) and barcodes are used.
  • The device’s print engine combines the label layout taken from printer memory with the output data and prints it. For devices that support multi line text (paragraph style); the Designer can use the NiceLabel’s object Text Box
  • Sit back and enjoy printing multi line auto wrapped text.
  • EXTENDED CHARACTER SUPPORT:
  • With release 6.5, NiceLabel Designers additionally support the character tack as defined by the ANSI MH10.8.2 standard. Newly supported characters are:
  • "“%&'‘()*+,
