With PowerRIP X version 8.4 you obtain a 20% to 30% greater color gamut volume on fine art papers, like UltraSmooth Fine Art and Velvet Fine Art. Very important for Gilcee print making and fine art reproduction. On Epson's Photo Quality Inkjet paper, PowerRIP X actually has a 50% greater color gamut, than with our competitors' software RIP. This enables you to make a better low cost proof, that is more accurate.
Contract Proofing benefits also. A greater 'Color Gamut Volume' means a better match to named spot colors, like Pantone®.
Photographers easily obtain 10% to 15% more colors on glossy/semigloss papers.
Of course with the price of paper and ink these days, you want to get the best color reproduction possible for your money, which is only possible right now with PowerRIP X version 8.
Digital Factory Apparel Epson™ Edition is much more than RIP software. It is a complete color management, job preparation and production software solution. Maximize your investment in Epson DTG technology with a RIP software that was specifically designed for the Epson F2100 and F2000 Direct To Garment printers. If you're looking for a free Epson RIP then this is the closest you will ever get. The second component of this project will be a plugin written in C# for Gimp that will create two layers from an image. One for a white underbase and another for the image to be printed on a garment. Please send me a message if you are interested in being involved.
