US-based Xitron, which published the software upgrade last week, has announced a raft of new features, including native support for PDF 1.7 and XPS 1.0 through Global Graphics' updated Harlequin RIP technology.
Xitron president and chief executive officer Mark Eisenschenk said: "Navigator GPS provides a significant boost in productivity through automation and ease-of-use, which translates to increased profitability in print shops using the DI press."
The upgrade is available through Xitron's dealer and distributor network worldwide, priced from $10,000 (£6,730).
Navigator RIP Manager includes job management, soft proofing and RIP feedback to pre-press operator workstations.
In addition, the PDF tools option now incorporates the latest Enfocus PitStop library within the preflighting module.
