repeat information. Values may also be applied manually for complete distortion control.
Bearer Bars - Automatically strip in our standard or custom bearer bars to your stepped images!
Custom Plate Templates - Customize various plate settings such as bearer bar gaps, margins, cut marks, register marks
and file information.
Agfa Balanced Screening for Flexo - offers the cleanest halftone screens at up to 250 lpi.
Monitor Preview - Our unique Monitor Preview function allows you to preview links, fonts, traps, overprints, knockouts,
and stepped information. Catch file problems before you output proofs or film.
PDF 1.4 Support - Lets you enjoy all the benefits of PDFs created in Distiller 5.0 including transparency.
PDF Preview - Create low-res PDFs of RIPped files for workstation preview or email directly to customers.
RIPit Remote - Control raster files on OpenRIP from MacOS-X and Windows workstations.
Preview, impose and output files.
In-RIP Trapping - Executes trapping commands at the RIP, automating complex prepress tasks.
KOOLKolor™ Proofing - Create attractive, color-accurate proofs on a variety of inkjet printers and plotters.
KOOLKolor uses industry-standard ICC Profiles.
KoolToning™ Halftone Simulator - Now see traditional AM halftone dots and true rosettes on your inkjet proof.
AdvancedScan™ - AdvancedScan makes it easy to handle your customer’s paper based originals with powerful image
capture and editing tools.
TIFFout and PSout - The new TIFFout and PSout drivers allow you to use OpenRIP to drive alternate output devices
that do not have the advanced features or workflow benefits that OpenRIP Flexo offers.
PerfectBLEND™ Flexo Hybrid Screening - Combines the benefits of AM and FM Screening for improved resolutions
without increased difficulty on press.
SmartDie™ Complete Flexo Automation - SmartDie applies the correct dieline, steps, gaps, bearer bars and
distortion, instantly and accurately.
RasterView™ - RasterView lets you effectively examine rasterized files at the full resolution of your output device prior to
outputting jobs on your imagesetter, platesetter, proofer, or other output devices. You can examine separations, traps,
halftone screens, tint values and screen angles using the simple yet effective tools within RasterView. Using the Ink
Density Tool will enable you to measure screen values to see if the job meets your minimum screen percentage. The
Analyze Ink Usage tool can create CIP3 files for presses which support automatic ink key settings. Plus, you can create
ink key setting charts for non-automated presses. RasterView can also calculate ink coverage values for each separation
with Ink Usage Analysis.
Export Proof - Save raster files as low-res PDFs, TIFFs and JPEGs to softproof at workstations or email
proofs directly to customers
ImagerQ Concerto (optional TIFF Shooter Workstation) - Provides easy integration to any 1-bit TIFF workflow and
provides independent control of platesetters, imagesetters and other output devices. ImagerQ Conterto allows you to
