  nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 Complete Edition (MAC/WIN)
nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 Complete Edition is an Adobe Photoshop compatible plug-in which goes beyond the native sharpening capability of the image editing program. Photoshop provides control of radius, amount, and threshold values, settings that are not easily understood by most users. nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 uses terms familiar to photographers: image resolution, viewing distance, paper type, and printer resolution. The plug-in applies the optimum sharpening based on how the image will be output and displayed.
  FontLab 4.6 (MAC/WIN)
FontLab 4.6 is a full-featured font editor for the professional creation of Type 1, TrueType, Multiple Master, and OpenType fonts.

It is very sophisticated, as evidenced by the exquisite fonts produced by users, and by its 700+ page manual.
  Contribute 3 (MAC/WIN)

Printed Electronics and the Automatic Identification of Objects
by Professor Michael L. Kleper
ISBN# 0883624893
$199.00   Non-Member Price   •   $99.00   GATF/PIA Member

The printing industry is about to enter a new age, one that may redefine, at least in part, its purpose and its product. Recent advances in material science now make it possible to use printing processes to produce electronic components and devices—with the potential to do so inexpensively and in great number. Printing, as a form of precise patterning, offers the greatest hope for enabling the “Internet of Things,” a phase of technological evolution in which everyday objects in the environment incorporate some degree of intelligence.
