Caldera releases new DTF RIP solutions

Leading software developer Caldera has released an all-new RIP solution for direct-to-film (DTF) printing. The company’s new DTF solution is designed to provide an intuitive route for effective DTF printing. The software features an easy-to-use interface for preparing files and ripping images at the pre-press stage, resulting in high-quality DTF printing without the need for specialist knowledge or expertise. With the new Caldera RIP solutions, users will gain new benefit from its significant time savings as well as streamlined management of alignments, colour bars, white undercoats and colour knockouts. Flexibility and versatility are built in as the new software can interface with Windows, MacOS or Linux, making it easy to prepare and boost colors for vibrant results.

DTF’s key features include all the tools needed for DTF printing. Files are uploaded into the File Manager, after which users can fine tune the images in the Studio area with the ability to adjust orientation, alignment and colour. White undercoats can be added automatically, mirror images can be created, and designs can be aligned on the roll with a single click. Once the files are ready for printing, they are exported to production. The program supports a wide range of file types and can be used for printing on all DTF printers based on Hosonsoft, BYHX and Royal motherboards. Caldera announced this new & upgraded DTF RIP solutions during the recent Printing UNITED expo at Las Vegas.
