RIPit introduces AdvancedScan, a professional Scan to Plate feature for our OpenRIP series Interpreters. Now, with AdvancedScan, you can get rid of your plate camera completely, and move to an all-digital workflow. AdvancedScan was designed from the ground up to be the best tool for paper-based originals and allows you to scan, edit, customize and save in a variety of formats. AdvancedScan works seamlessly within OpenRIP, so you can place images directly into imposition or plate templates, apply traps, linerizations, crops, registration marks, color bars and much more.

Some of AdvancedScan's Features Include: Multi-Page and Multi-Color Documents - Scan multiple page and® multiple color documents and assign appropriate colors within the scanner module.
