ColorGate’s Rip software is now available in version 7.10 form for its Productionserver, Filmgate, Proofgate and Photogate products.
This adds new features and modules such as the 1 bit TIFF Input Module (1BITM), In-RIP Trapping Module (TRAPM), and a GamutViewer. The Adobe PDF Print Engine 2.6 (APPE) now is also available for screen workflows.
The optional 1-Bit TIFF Input Module provides a method for processing incoming 1-bit TIFF files to create halftone proofs and to de-screen input data for form proofs (impositioning proofs). The In-RIP Trapping Module is also optional.
The new Gamut Viewer enables two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) comparisons of different colour spaces. This can be launched out of the Profiler Module (PFM)/ Profiler Suite (PFS) or via the menu options in the software. Using menu options up to five ICC profiles can be compared in 2D with a reference or standard colour space. Via the Profiler Module/ Profiler Suite users are able to see the calculated profile and can compare it with the profiles embedded is the MIM combination or with a reference profile. It allows comparison of up to two ICC profiles in 3D.
Other new functions in v.7.10 include: interpolation of screen data format: Now several methods are available for halftone files; and confidence strips can now be placed in multiple ways.
