Roland DGA Corporation today introduced Roland Colorip 2.0 - the latest and most powerful version of its RIP software bundled with VersaCAMM, EX and Pro II Series inkjets. "Roland Colorip 2.0 will boost inkjet productivity for both expert printmakers and beginners," said Patrick Chen, Roland product manager. "Right out of the box, it makes printing fast and easy with enhanced production features and color controls." In a single dialog box, Roland Colorip 2.0 now integrates complex output settings such as device selection, ink type, connection, media and print mode. A Master Queue window displays RIP and Print jobs for all four print configurations, making it easier to track the status of multiple jobs. For Roland customers who demand complete color control, Roland Colorip 2.0 features a Color Transforms window that integrates all color controls. The new graphical feature makes it easy to edit all pertinent ICC Profiles, linearizations and ink limits. Roland Colorip 2.0 also offers RIP & Print capability, enhanced color management, contour cutting and several unique layout options. In addition to Postscript jobs, the RIP lets graphics professionals print directly from TIFF, JPEG, EPS, PS, PDF 1.4 and DCS 2.0 files.
