Management software. New features include a powerful Template Creator
that defines layout image place holders for repeatable placement and
sizing; Database Tools to import industry-standard or user-defined spot
color matching tables; Halftoning Innovations; and a RIP-to-TIF generic

placement and sizing.

can import their own pantone data sets)

SoftRIP Templates
SoftRIP Templates save hours of prep time for users with standardized
output sizes and placement needs. The template interface includes tools
for specifying image location, alignment, and scaling attributes. Simply
apply the template to a new layout to drag and drop images straight to
their desired location.
The template building toolset streamlines printing for workflows that
demand consistent image placement and sizing. Key uses of SoftRIP
Templates include T-shirt printing, flatbed printing, and a wide variety
of industrial printing applications. (Details

Spot Color Database Import
This release provides spot color database import tools for matching
hues in industry-standard swatch books or key customer data files.
SoftRIP Version 6.3 imports databases based on Microsoft Excel files
or any other comma delimited data format. To suit various types of
color databases, values can be entered using the more accurate 0-255
interval or a standard 0-100 percentage.
Halftoning Introductions
SoftRIP version 6.3 includes new halftoning refinements to serve
growing market niches. Version 6.3 optimizes quality specifically for
the newest generation grayscale print heads. In the flexography market
niche, Wasatch's halftone refinements will revolutionize the adoption
of inkjet separations. New flexo halftone options are available
exclusively in SoftRIP SP for Separations Printing.
