  • Allows for auto trapping, proofing, imposition, screening and final film output of single pages or imposed flats, all from a single RIP

  • Once file is ripped it does not have to be re-ripped for each output device, e.g. digital proofing, final film output.

  • Pageflow system for imposition, creates a pre-ripped per page file. Pre-ripped are files place into a printer imposition.
