(January 2006) posted on Thu Jan 05, 2006

Features white-ink support

Scanvec Amiable has released version 5
of its PhotoPRINT RIP to the large-format
marketplace. Scanvec's PhotoPrint RIP is
available in five options: SE, a RIP solution
for a single workstation; DX, a layout and
design package that can RIP and print
to two printers at once; Server, for large
networked production environments;
Server-Pro, a client-server package; and
Server-Ultra, a client-server solution with
additional profiling capabilities.
Version 5 features the following
enhancements:

• White-ink support on devices with
  white-ink functionality;

• A "Rotate Image to Fit Media" feature
  to save media and avoid tiling;

• Support for new color-measurement
  devices such as GretagMacbeth's iCColor
  and X-Rite's Pulse and DTP-34;

• Printer simulation requires only an
  output profile instead of full set-up;

• Presets can now include cut settings
  and can be added into Default Job
  Properties;

• Users can view an image's color
  information by moving the cursor over
  the image preview;

• Borderless printing devices are now
  supported; and

• The Mac version now includes a Pantone
  Library and Global Color Mapping.
  Prices: SE, $995; DX, $1595; Server,
  $3495; Server-Pro, $4295; Server-Ultra,
  $5295.
