Print
Directly from Your Favorite Artwork Program
 MultiRIP
will work with any graphic artwork program (i.e. CorelDraw, PhotoShop,
Illustrator, Word,...) that you can print from. MultiRIP will
install an indepent driver that allows your settings in your graphic
artwork program (i.e. the size, shape and angle of your halftones)
to print directly through the RIP software.
Halftone
Screening
MultiRIP allows the use of halftone screening, thus turning your
inkjet printer into a low-cost imagesetter. You can specify the
screen frequency/angle at print time or you can select from one
of our pre-defined screen ruling sets. You can also define your
own pre-defined screen rulings.
Page
Previewing
You can preview individual pages in both the output queue and
the "processed jobs" queue. This can save a lot of time
if a mistake is caught before expensive media is wasted.
Job/Page
Priority
Allows users to change print priority on a per-job or per-page
basis. When manually inserting jobs in the RIP or re-printing
jobs that have been ripped; simply use the slide-bar to set values
from 1 to 99 (just like Window's Print Manager) or enter the number
by hand. The job or page will then assume it's new print priority.
When printing from applications (Quark, PageMaker, etc.) select
the priority in the print settings dialog.
Re-Print
Pages without Re-Ripping
Allows you to re-print individual pages or colors from a separation
with a few simple clicks of your mouse. Once the job has been
processed, simply open the job item in the queue, select the pages
you wish to re-send to the printer (1). Select the number of copies
(2) and click "Print Selected Pages" (3). The selected
pages will be sent to the output queue. When making multiple copies,
the pages can be "stacked" (1,1,1, 2,2,2, 3,3,3 etc.)
or collated (1,2,3, 1,2,3, etc.).
ICM/ICC
Based Color Management
Supports the use of ICC and ICMs for color management. The user
can select the color space of the input CMYK and RGB as well as
the output ICM if they desire. All media types included with MultiRIP
have been pre-linearized and the manual selection of an output
profile is seldom needed. If the user has created a custom output
profile, however, MultiRIP uses it per your request. You can select
the ICC/ICMs at print-time or right at the RIP control panel when
manually inserting PostScript or PDF files or re-processing previous
jobs. A utility is included in the software which allows you to
add ICM name entries into your PPD so that they appear at print-time
in the print configuration dialog.
Print
Composite Proofs From Pre-separated PostScript files
MultiRIP allows you to print composite pages from PostScript separation
files. This feature is very useful, as you can use the composite
output to check for trapping and moire, or simply use it as a
proof to show the customer. If using halftone screening for output,
you can select the angle and frequency for CMYK and spot colors.
Print
Separations from Composite PostScript or PDF files
MultiRIP allows you to print CMYK separations from a composite
PostScript files or PDF files. If using halftone screening for
output, you can specify the angle and frequency for the CMYK separations.
Density
Calibration
MultiRIP includes our Q-Curve™ utility which will allow
you to apply a density curve to your composite or separated
job. You can curve the color plates individually or apply the
same curve to all. You can use the graphical curve interface
or enter the desired density numbers.
