Hotfolder: Automate and Simplify Your Printing Workflow
The Hotfolder feature in WhiteRIP automates the printing process by enabling files to be processed and printed automatically as soon as they are placed in a designated folder. This tool is ideal for businesses aiming to streamline repetitive print tasks, reducing manual input, and improving productivity.

How Does the Hotfolder Feature Work?
WhiteRIP continuously monitors the designated hotfolder. When a file is added, it’s automatically processed according to the pre-configured settings this includes print size, resolution, color management, and specific channels like white ink or varnish. Once processing is complete, the file is sent directly to the printer.
