What is a software RIP and why is it important?

[@knaadhan8683]

Hello sir thanks for the information iam currently studying my bachelor in printing and following your KZbin channel

[@DaleswayPrintTech]

It's my pleasure and all the best with your studies.

Hi. Nothing on KZbin that I have seen goes in depth on how to fully utilize rip softwares. They only tell you how to install and then print something. Is there somewhere that can teach the specifics of rip softwares? I need something that gets into the nitty gritty of things like saturation, flood, choke adjustment, halftones, separation curves, etc…

Hi @Warren I am not aware of someone that teaches this, but it is certainly something we will consider adding in future.

Hi there, nice tut you have made. But is it possible to find a free RIP-software app for Mac or Linux? I have a lot of Xerox Phaser-printers in my setup. But I miss the RIP-options for my print.

[@DaleswayPrintTech]

I am not aware of free RIP options unfortunately.

Good morning, I would need a little help with the software, when I make the image in photoshop or illustrator, I have the image exactly to medical, but when I charge the acro RIP the software shows me bigger, you can tell me how to export the image so that goes well?

Hi Gabriel, We would need to know a few things before we can help with this. It may be best to contact the company that supplied your RIP software as this is likely to yield you the best information.

Could be because you selected 'borderless' on yu printing setup. And the printing software makes the ajustments to fill the border area, making the image bigger

Beginner here.. do you still need RIPs if you're not screen printing and just doing inkjet transfers? If so, what are the benefits?

[@DaleswayPrintTech]

Apologies that we have missed your question. This would be best addressed to someone that specialises in transfer printing. It is not our market, sorry.
