Choosing RIP software

The RIP sets colour, nesting and the print queue. Choose one your operator can learn, and check the head count it supports.

The options

  • S-INKRIP: activation code with lifetime free upgrades and two manual deactivations
  • AC-FLEXIPRINT: SAi FlexiPRINT DX cloud edition, one or two printheads, no white
  • AC-FLEXIPRINT/D: FlexiPRINT UV cloud edition, two or more heads with white and varnish channels
  • S-MAINTOP: MainTop 5.3 with DTP and PSIII and a USB dongle
  • S-ULTRAPRINT and S-ULTRAPRINT/L: UltraPrint RIP with a USB dongle

Colour profiles

A RIP works best with an ICC profile made for your printer, ink, media and pass count. AM.CO.ZA's ColouRight service builds one profile for one printing condition, listed on ecosolventink.co.za.

Training

T-BASIC/PE covers InkRIP or FlexiPRINT with the PrintExp printer system, and T-BASIC/PF covers printer use with the software you bought.
