Overdrive has separate "Input ICC Profile" settings for RGB, CMYK, and grayscale images. It works its magic on top of a printer's driver and RGB paper profiles to make accurate color automatic. Version 2 takes full advantage of the multicore processors in today's machines, so processing is significantly faster.
#SHIRAZ RIP SERVER V8 FOR MAC OS X#
Its Overdrive 2.0 is a 64-bit RIP server for Mac OS X 10.6 and later. Complicated colormanagement workflows and tedious ICC profiling are no longer necessary to achieve high-end print quality and accurate color proofs, according to ColorBurst. Its drupa RIP demo featured Apple iPads running the wide-format workflow program.Īt the Graphics of the Americas show three months ago, visitors to Miami saw demos and printed samples in the Image Pro International booth that altered their expectations about inkjet proofing. At a time when raw materials costs and ink prices are rising dramatically, this saving allows all types of wide-format digital print houses to decrease expenditures. The option harnesses Alwan's profiling technology within the context of the RIP engine to provide an average 20 percent reduction in ink consumption across all types of wide-format production. The release incorporates the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) 2.5, which provides productivity upgrades in font handling, memory management, repeatable content, and speedier movement of files with transparency through the RIP.Įarlier this year, the French software firm joined forces with Alwan Color Expertise to create InkPerformer, an ink-saving module for the latest edition of the Caldera RIP (v9). In Wide-Format Imaging s annual look at the digital RIP market, we offer a sampling of software solutions from 10 different workflow vendors:Īt drupa 2012, the ninth version of Caldera's RIP was shown.
The printing and prepress industries know raster graphics as contones (from continuous tones), and refer to vector graphics as line art.
The difference is that raster images are composed of pixels, while vector graphic files store images via means of mathematically defined curves and lines.
