dLSoft is pleased to announce the release of new versions of Really Simple Barcodes. These new versions add the facility to generate vector Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files to the formats supported (Enhanced metafile and a variety of bitmap formats). This addition allows the creation of very high resolution images to be transferred to any PostScript supporting platform using plain text files and make the product ideal for printing companies that need to create their own barcode images.

DL Technology is pleased to announce an enhancement to the Barcodes Online service. As from
today the dLSoft Barcodes Online Service adds support
for vector EPS files.
While these are not viewable in a web browser EPS images may be obtained by
selecting the EPS type in the drop-down list of image types in the "E-mail
Image" section of the screen.
Subscribers creating EPS files should note that the target printer resolution should still be specified so that the bars in the barcode images can be adjusted the correct number of printer pixels.
Also on the screen is a new check-box that permits low resolution EPS previews to be included in e-mailed EPS files if required.
DL Technology now offers a Barcodes by e-mail service for those requiring the occasional small number of barcode images. A simple form on our web site can be filled in to specify the barcode details etc, and the barcode images are e-mailed in return within a few hours. Barcode images in EPS or WMF vector formats, or BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG or TIFF bitmap formats.
