Whitebase
WhiteRIP generates automatically the white layer with specifics algorithms for DTF applications with optimization based on the media color. You can also specify the white layer on the same PSD file with a specific layer.

White over color
WhiteRIP DTF will automatically print the colors first and then the white level.

Inline printing
Inline print mode allow to split the head to print white and colors at the same time but without mix them, resulting in more bright colors. The quality is the same of the 2 pass printing but since Inline mode don't need a second print it eliminates printer reload times and all the alignment problem that might comes with it. To furthermore increase the print speed on WhiteRIP 8 is possible to partially mix the head, increasing the print speed without notable effects on print quality.

Color optimize
It is possible to optimize the print for any type of colored background by selecting the color, sampling from the graphics or reading it directly from the support using a spectrophotometer.

Creation of labels
This feature allows you to add text and numbers directly from the template, with the ability to customize its appearance.

Group and manage multiple jobs
The new management of jobs in the print queue allows you to group multiple items into a single process, simplifying job management. The group can also be exported as a single object from the print queue.

Color replacement up to 32 spots
An advanced color replacement system allows you to print pdfs with up to 32 advanced spot colors for high accuracy of spot colors in print.

Masks and channels from PSD
With WhiteRIP 8 you can create the mask and channels on the same file as the graphic, WhiteRIP will automatically recognize them. This will help you save time and simplify the files organization.

Channel adjustment
On WhiteRIP was always possible to load a mask file for white or gloss, now with WhiteRIP 8 you can create the mask and channels on the same file as the graphic, WhiteRIP will automatically recognize them.

Ink Save
Advanced algorithms allow the software to reduce the ink quantity when it will not change the print result. This translates in lower costs for your prints and thus a bigger profit.

Fast Settings
Make all the changes directly on Template and when the results satisfies you quickly save them in a new environment. You will no longer need to remember all the steps, just press the button and you're settings are saved on a new environment.

Layout saving
On WhiteRIP you can load multiple graphics on the same template to print at once, making the paging work directly on the RIP software. With Layout save function you will make an snapshot of the current template with all the graphics and print settings keeping also all the changes you made on settings like ink quantity, resolution etc. for later edit or re-printing without need to manually save the settings. This allow you to later load the layout and resume your work from where you left, being able to change what you need to or just to print immediately.

Resample algorithms
WhiteRIP has many advanced algorithms to resize images like Lanczos, CathmullRom, Gaussian etc. The algorithms can be customized on the single image based on it's characteristic.


Addional Modules
WhiteRIP 8 is a complete software, but additional modules are available to further extend the functionality. These modules allow you to automate the printing process or increase the versatility of the software.

Hotfolder
This quickest way to integrate WhiteRIP and digital printing in an automated business environment. With this function WhiteRIP monitors a folder and when new images are inserted it elaborate them and send the file to the printer.

XML Hotfolder
With the XML Hotfolder module it is possible to extend the hotfolder featur by attaching a file with image parameters like size, position, rotation, environment etc. This give the possibility to WhiteRIP to work automatically.

Job Tracking
Possibility of tracking the jobs inside the RIP, on csv or xml, both in input and output for the integration in Industry 4.0 environments.

Variable data and barcodes
Management of self-incrementing variable data or from external sources with the possibility of generating 1D and 2D barcodes. The variable data is automatically updated at each print and in case of self-incremental data it is saved locally.

Print from barcode
