Colour Interlink RIP IN and RIP IN QUEUE Software
Programs
Ultimately
the aim for production sites is to import the image, control the image,
enter
the length or number of units to be printed and send the image via the
print
program directly to the printer queue as
quickly as possible. Similar jobs are batched to ensure speed and error
free
work.
The function
of the print queue is to send on the next job in the queue
automatically as
soon as the previous job is finished. This has
enabled sites to run the printers
day and night without constant supervision.
Textile
printers for home and fashion printing have different demands for their
production. Often they will decide what repeat and size to print when
the image
is imported into the Rip In. There is step and repeat functionality
including
multiple drops, and even 45 degrees for tie printing. If a specific
repeat is
made, this can be stored for use again for repeat order or for
production on
acceptance of sample.
Colour books
or direct calculation of the image colour data by the Rip In easily
meet customer
colour and reproducibility demands. Explore -wide format and

Design data
formats include vector and raster formats. Vector formats include EPS,
PS and
one layer PDF files. Raster formats include the range of Tif formats,
Jpeg,
BMP, GIF. If you work in RGB the imported file will be transformed
within an
RGB colour environment, if it is LAB it will be transformed to the RGB
environment, which closely matches the chosen inks. Files may be 8 bit
and 24
bit or with some specific formats in 16 bit file format. The Rip In
solution
may be connected to the internal network of the company so that designs
are
easily pulled down from the central server.
