Supports New Canon printers and Popular UV-Curable Inkjet Printers |
Wasatch Computer Technology has released Wasatch SoftRIP version 6.2,
which features overall speed improvements as well as new capabilities
for implementing white-ink workflows.
Wasatch Computer Technology has released support for new Canon imagePROGRAF printers. This release also
includes support for the latest UV-curable
printers from MacDermid ColorSpan and Mimaki.
White ink
SoftRIP can now fully color manage images while passing specialty
non-color inks straight to the printer. The outcome, reports Wastach, is
easier white-ink workflow and improved image quality by taking advantage
of SoftRIP's 16-bit color pipeline.
The improved speed is a result of the enhancement of halftone
algorithms, producing 16-bit color with RIP times faster than the
previous 8-bit color pipeline in SoftRIP 6.0. Too, the new default print
queue preference settings are designed to work with newer, more powerful
computers by specifying different physical hard drives to store RIP
data. Disk read/write bottlenecks are avoided and users have more
control in organizing large RIP data files, says the company.
Canon Support
New support for the
Canon iPF 5100 and iPF 6100 devices will includes full
hi-fi support for 12-color LUCIA inks. These drivers will now come
standard with SoftRIP's Canon Exclusive, Small Format, and Large Format
Editions. The driver for the 17" iPF 5100 will be included in the
SoftRIP Desktop Edition.
UV printers
Devices using UV inks are capable of printing on a wide range of
inexpensive rigid or flexible roll materials. Challenging print
scenarios with lower quality media achieve the maximum benefit from
SoftRIP's 16-bit color pipeline. Color subtleties and gradients in
raster images are maintained with enormous detail and vector gradients
are perfectly smooth at any output size.
ColorSpan Support
SoftRIP now includes white-ink supporting drivers for
ColorSpan 5440UV,
ColorSpan 5445UV, ColorSpan 5460UV, ColorSpan 5465UV, and ColorSpan
9840UV printers. The ColorSpan 5400UV Series devices are among the UV
category leaders, combining the quality of an aqueous thermal inkjet
printer, the durability of a solvent printer, and the media flexibility
of a UV-curable inkjet printer with a compact physical footprint. The
larger 9840UV offers industrial-grade size and speed for print shops
demanding high volume production.
Mimaki Support
Mimaki buyers can now use SoftRIP to drive their
Mimaki UJV-110 UV curable
inkjet printer. SoftRIP's simple white ink workflow makes it easy to
produce first and second surface output for window films and decals. The
optional Variable Data Printing Module adds capabilities for easily
customizing print jobs like nameplates and labels with the UJV device.
Teckwin Support
Teckwin TeckSmart UV1600
and Teckwin TeckSmart UV2500 UV-curable printers
can also be driven by new Wasatch easy-to-use workflow software.
