WhiteRIP 8
The most advanced printing software suitable for different sectors such as textiles and objects. Equipped with numerous features to increase productivity and optimize ink consumption.
Main features
Template
The main feature of WhiteRIP has been revised to increase its functionality. With WhiteRIP 8 you can work on more template at once and the template creation wizard it's more simple.
Whitebase
WhiteRIP can generates automatically the white layer base or you can load a custom one. With WhiteRIP 8 you can also specify the white layer on the same file with a PSD layer or let the software generate it with optimization based on the media color. If you are printing am artwork on a black T-shirt WhiteRIP can optimize the white layer without print it under black pixels or if you print the same image but on a different media color it will optimize the whitebase accordingly.
Spot channel special effects
WhiteRIP 8 now offers the possibility to add patterns to enrich the prints with 3D or paint effects automatically generated by the software.
Special channels generation
Designed for the ever-increasing integration between digital printing and screen printing, this function allows you to generate and export channels from the RIP for the creation of screens. The channels are generated taking into account the choke and any optimizations set by the RIP. Furthermore, using the Virtual Dithering function, the dithering will be generated without the need for further processing. For example, it will be possible to prepare the file for printing in CMYK from a digital printer and export the white channel and the spot for the creation of screen printing frames for the white base and for a fluorescent color or a particular pantone.
Rip & print
With RIP&Print function WhiteRIP can drastically cut elaboration times. Instead of wait for all the graphic to be elaborated before send data to the printer with RIP&Print the graphic is elaborated in blocks and data are sent to the printer as soon as a block is ready, saving lot of times.
Inline printing
Inline print mode allow to split the head to print white and colors at the same time but without mix them, resulting in more bright colors. The quality is the same of the 2 pass printing but since Inline mode don't need a second print it eliminates printer reload times and all the alignment problem that might comes with it. To furthermore increase the print speed on WhiteRIP 8 is possible to partially mix the head, increasing the print speed without notable effects on print quality.
Creation of labels
This feature allows you to add text and numbers directly from the template, with the ability to customize its appearance.
Group and manage multiple jobs
The new management of jobs in the print queue allows you to group multiple items into a single process, simplifying job management. The group can also be exported as a single object from the print queue.
Color replacement up to 32 spots
An advanced color replacement system allows you to print pdfs with up to 32 advanced spot colors for high accuracy of spot colors in print.
Hotfolder
This quickest way to integrate WhiteRIP and digital printing in an automated business environment. With this function WhiteRIP monitors a folder and when new images are inserted it elaborate them and send the file to the printer. With the XML Hotfolder module is also possible to attach some parameters to the image such as dimension, position, environment and rotation of the image.
Masks and channels from PSD
With WhiteRIP 8 you can create the mask and channels on the same file as the graphic, WhiteRIP will automatically recognize them. This will help you save time and simplify the files organization.
Channel adjustment
On WhiteRIP was always possible to load a mask file for white or gloss, now with WhiteRIP 7 you can create the mask and channels on the same file as the graphic, WhiteRIP will automatically recognize them.
Ink Save
Advanced algorithms allow the software to reduce the ink quantity when it will not change the print result. This translates in lower costs for your prints and thus a bigger profit.
Fast Settings
Make all the changes directly on Template and when the results satisfies you quickly save them in a new environment. You will no longer need to remember all the steps, just press the button and you're settings are saved on a new environment.
Patch Creator
Get a specific color is easy with this tool. You select your print size and how bigger you want the patches then the rip automatically create them starting form the color you choosed. You can print them and pick up the CMYK or RGB value of the color that you like the most.
Layout saving
On WhiteRIP you can load multiple graphics on the same template to print at once, making the paging work directly on the RIP software. With Layout save function you will make an snapshot of the current template with all the graphics and print settings keeping also all the changes you made on settings like ink quantity, resolution etc. for later edit or re-printing without need to manually save the settings. This allow you to later load the layout and resume your work from where you left, being able to change what you need to or just to print immediately.
