RIPit's [Flexo Edition] Computer to Film Systems are professional prepress solutions designed specifically for producing
high resolution films for the flexo-label printer and service bureaus producing film and plates for label printers. This unique
product is the result of many years experience in label production. RIPit's Flexo Edition CtF Systems are driven by
OpenRIP Flexo 5.0 and integrated with a RIPit SpeedSetter Series Imagesetter, and optional film processor.
RIPit Flexo CtF Systems are driven by OpenRIP Flexo 5.0, one of the most productive flexo
specific RIPs on the market. OpenRIP Flexo 5.0 is an Adobe® PostScript® 3™ RIP featuring
an automated, multi-device workflow that makes it easy to handle complex digital files,
manage a custom resident die data base, and drive every output device in your shop including:
platesetters, imagesetters, laser printers, digital copiers, inkjet printers and plotters.
Monitor Preview - Check page elements, colors, traps, knockouts, overprints and step & repeat templates (in composite
and separated modes), before you output a proof or media.
Step & Repeat and Resident Die Database - Allows you to create, edit and store custom die templates to suit an unlimited
amount of production scenarios. You can specify die numbers, step & repeat settings, bearer bar and distortion factors.
OpenRIP Flexo 5.0 allows users to quickly select the correct die for specific jobs, or use the optional SmartDie feature
automatically apply the correct die with desired job setup.
Automatic Distortion - Automatically calculates and applies the correct distortion value as you edit step & repeat settings.
Bearer Bars and Marks - Automatically strip in standard or custom bearer bars, set bearer bar gaps, margins, cut marks,
register marks and file information to your stepped images. Standard bearer bars now be screened back to 50% or 25%, to
reduce ink build-up on the bar. Color density swatches can be added just outside either or both bearer bars.
Agfa® Balanced Screening for Flexo - Provides consistent clean halftone screens.
Linearization and Dot Gain Compensation - RIPit’s easy-to-use Linearization and Dot Gain Compensation Wizards take
the guesswork out of imagesetter and press calibration.
SmartDie™ Prepress Automation - SmartDie automatically recognizes die numbers included in PS, EPS and PDF files
and instantly applies the correct step & repeat, distortion, marks and bearer bar settings.
RIP-integrated color management - Allows OpenRIP Flexo to honor embedded color profiles, and lets you select source
and destination profiles to be used during interpretation. This allows you to create a fully color managed workflow and
provides better separations of RGB images placed in CMYK jobs.
RasterView - Examine RIPped files at the full resolution of your output device prior to outputting jobs on your imagesetter,
platesetter, proofer, or other output device. You can examine traps, halftone screens, tint values and screen angles.
on a per-color basis.
CPSI 3016 - This version of the Adobe PostScript 3 Interpreter features improved performance, compatibility updates, and
support for PDF 1.5, the file format used by Acrobat 6.
Plus - Advanced Color Proofing, Custom Job Queuing with Drag & Drop, Idiom Recognition, Job History, PDF Preview
and much more...
In-RIP Trapping with TrapZone™ - Allows you to quickly apply trapping commands at the RIP, automating complex
prepress tasks. RIPit's TrapZone™ feature enhances Adobe In-RIP Trapping by letting you select separate trap settings
for different parts of a page. You can define zones while viewing the rasterized image, and immediately re-RIP the file to
see the effects of your settings. Use Monitor Preview or RasterView to check file traps.
OpenRIP Remote - Control raster files on OpenRIP Flexo from MacOS-X and Windows workstations. Preview, impose and
send files to output devices. OpenRIP Remote also allows you to save raster files as PDFs, TIFFs and JPEGs to softproof
at workstations or email directly to customers.
PDF Export - Create low-res PDFs of RIPped files for preview on your workstation or as email proofs to customers.
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.
Optional Drivers - TIFFout, PSout, RRJout, and GDIout drivers are now available to the general public, and include
substantial enhancements. TIFFout is used to drive output devices which can accept TIFF files as input. PSout is used to
drive output devices which have their own attached RIPs, including copiers, legacy imagesetters and platesetters, etc...
RRJout is used to communicate with RIPit’s ImagerQ software to provide enhanced remote output for imagesetters and
platesetters. GDIout is used to drive non-PostScript Windows-compatible printers from OpenRIP.
PerfectBLEND™ Flexo Hybrid Screening - Combines the benefits of AM and FM Screening for higher linescreens,
smoother gradients and cleaner press runs.
RIPit SpeedSetter® 300 [Portrait] Series Imagesetters - SpeedSetter 300 Imagesetters utilize a patented virtual drum
technology that delivers a very small spot size (10 µm Laser Spot) and accurate, consistent film. The SpeedSetter 300 can
easily image film to 2400 dpi and 175 lpi (to 240 lpi with optional PerfectBLEND Flexo hybrid screening) in a portrait format
(active image area of 12.5" x 18.75").
The SpeedSetter 300x2 Imagesetter - Adds higher production speed and resolutions for medium-volume shops. It has
the same image size as the 300, and supports resolutions to 4000 dpi, for linescreens up 225 film.
The SpeedSetter 400 Imagesetter - The 400 “stretched” version of the 300 x2. The 400 can produce high resolution films
with an active image area of 14.95” x 18.75” (landscape format) and offers resolutions to 4000 dpi and linscreens to 225 lpi.
