Caldera launches high-speed Rip and hardware solution

Caldera introduces its new high-speed RIP and hardware solution. Worldwide launch of the new solution from the wide-format software major took place at the recent at FESPA Digital 2014, Munich. The company’s C4 platform incorporates a comprehensive set of advanced features to facilitate high performance, with a new set of algorithms designed to take full advantage of modern programming and hardware innovations. At the heart of the C4 hardware and RIP combination is the use of Caldera’s unique approach to extract the maximum from the powerful resources now available from the board.

Configured to be up to four times faster than previous iterations, the new Caldera C4’s high velocity software is designed to facilitate fast and fluent processing. It accommodates the demands generated by the latest series of digital ink-jet print engines, including textile platforms, which require high volume throughput and need support from a powerful front-end and workflow. Engines that need to have multiple PCs to RIP print jobs in order to keep up with print speeds can now benefit instead from a single front-end that takes advantage of multi-core computing with heavy thread programming for optimum processing power.
