ToolbarPlus Express 4.0 replaces MicroType's Express Customization Kit, which is no longer available as a free download. We hope that you have enjoyed ten years of free use and will continue to benefit from this package, now with many more features and enhancements.

ToolbarPlus Express costs US$25 per workstation license, and can be purchased through Kagi secure online store.
If you have special payment considerations, please inquire about other options (credit cards, PayPal or bank checks).

Once your payment is received, you will be sent a download link by e-mail (future updates are provided free of charge -- when new features are available or if you upgrade your FrameMaker version).
