If you are a printer with small format presses, the question today
is not whether to have a Computer to Plate System; it is which one.
We have always been impressed that RIPit was originally a software
company. For us this means that RIPit's emphasis is on making the
system operator-friendly; continually enhancing the program's
functionality; and building in features of real use to us – like pre-
viewing RIPped files on the monitor, trapping files on-the-fly, output
device profiles and the ability to customize the system to suit our
production needs.
Training on using our RIPit CtP system has gone smoothly for
years. In our shop we require that the production manager be able
to operate all equipment; he had no problem retrieving files and
outputting plates after simple training by the prepress specialist.
The ease of training is especially important for us, as before Dan Herrera joined our staff, we had significant turnover in the prepress specialist position. In many shops, prepress is the most volatile
position. The fact that the RIPit workflow can be taught easily is a
huge advantage.
We also purchase our supplies through RIPit to take advantage of
their software upgrade and maintenance program. Supplies are
competitively priced and with a minimum annual purchase, we
receive software upgrades and maintenance support for free. We
like the fact that RIPit can be a full-service vendor.
