Caldera releases V11.2 of its Rip

Caldera will use C!Print Lyon in France (6 - 8 February) to release V11.2 of its Rip for the wide-format market. It has three new features - HelpLinks, ContourNesting 180º and MultiLayer. Also new is support for a new OEM device TotalColor qb, the Barbieri platform for spectrophotometers.

HelpLinks allows users to add direct contextual links to CalderaDesk overview pages from within Caldera Rip modules. ContourNesting 180º prints following the fibre direction, a feature which is expected to be particularly useful to users in the fabric, textile, traffic signs and packaging sectors. MultiLayer allows users to print multiple layers with different images for each layer. Additional minor enhancements to the program include: cut features - - a new Background option allows the user to define the colour around the registration marks for better marks detection - the ability to add a cuttable frame around barcodes or QR codes in Cut - there is a new Rewind At End option, which lets users decide to rewind the media or not after cutting to enable blade change or to go directly to the end of the job to be closer to the next job Colour features: - new Rosette Overinking and Flower Bleeding charts in Colour to improve ink limitation - new Textile-friendly targets in Colour, with automatic generation of double gaps targets for better textile measurements - for use with iPro/2 and i1i0/i1i02 spectros - in Spot Channels, extra-planes are now loaded as spot colours, making the loading of Tiff and PSD files twice as fast.
