The latest version of Harlequin’s RIP software, which drives digital presses, has been launched.
The Harlequin RIP transforms design and pre-press data into a format that can be printed and feeds those pages to the press. It’s compatible with a range of PDF design tools and is compliant with industry standards.
The new version, Harlequin 11, improves inkjet output quality, offers more controls for variable data printing, and contains new features for labels and packaging applications.
Martin Bailey, chief technical officer, said, ‘Global Graphics continues to enhance the Harlequin RIP to maintain its position as the fastest and highest quality rendering engine for production print. We know that our success relies on helping our OEM partners to deliver and ship products that impress their customers, so the new developments in version 11 are specifically designed to address the pain points encountered in real-world print environments, identified either in response to customer requests, or in our own research.’
Harlequin 11 is available in two editions: the Harlequin Host Renderer 11, which powers the Digital Front Ends used in high-volume digital production environments; and, Harlequin MultiRIP 11 for conventional and light digital production printing.
