Easy to Install,
Easy to Use
With RIPCenter, getting up to speed and producing professional color is as
simple as install, open file, and print. Yet despite its simplicity, RIPCenter
contains a bevy of production tools that outperform bundled RIPs and Windows
printer drivers.
Professional Color,
Every Time
Default color calibration and ICC profiles – optimized for a variety of ink
and media combinations – provide consistent, accurate color “out of the
box” for those who are just getting into large format printing.
Easy
to Use Interface
Simple and easy to navigate, the RIP-Queue interface lets you manage all
your printing from a single window.
Network-Accessible
Across Platforms
The RIPCenter queue appears as a normal printer on your network, so you
can print directly from your creative application from any Mac or PC on
the network, or drag and drop jobs into a Hot Folder.
Save
Media
A thumbnail preview gives you the ability to spot check your jobs before
you print, reducing the need for reprinting. And, when you select Conserve
Media Placement, jobs are automatically arranged and positioned for
maximum media usage. A nesting preview provides visual assurance that you’re
getting the most out of your media.
Save Time and Money
RIPCenter brings greater speed, better performance and improved color
control to your printer. That translates into both time and money savings
that directly impact your bottom line.
