Wasatch Computer Technology has released support for the latest UV-curable printers from MacDermid ColorSpan and Mimaki. This release also includes new Canon imagePROGRAF drivers.
Devices using UV inks are capable of printing on a wide range of inexpensive rigid or flexible roll materials. Challenging print scenarios with lower quality media achieve the maximum benefit from SoftRIP's 16-bit color pipeline. Color subtleties and gradients in raster images are maintained with enormous detail and vector gradients are perfectly smooth at any output size.
ColorSpan Support
SoftRIP now includes white-ink supporting drivers for ColorSpan 5440UV, ColorSpan 5445UV, ColorSpan 5460UV, ColorSpan 5465UV, and ColorSpan 9840UV printers. The ColorSpan 5400UV Series devices are among the UV category leaders, combining the quality of an aqueous thermal inkjet printer, the durability of a solvent printer, and the media flexibility of a UV-curable inkjet printer with a compact physical footprint. The larger 9840UV offers industrial-grade size and speed for print shops demanding high volume production.
Mimaki Support
Mimaki buyers can now use SoftRIP to drive their UJV-110 UV curable inkjet printer. SoftRIP's simple white ink workflow makes it easy to produce first and second surface output for window films and decals. The optional Variable Data Printing Module adds capabilities for easily customizing print jobs like nameplates and labels with the UJV device.
Canon Support
New support for the iPF 5100 and iPF 6100 devices will includes full hi-fi support for 12-color LUCIA inks. These drivers will now come standard with SoftRIP's Canon Exclusive, Small Format, and Large Format Editions. The driver for the 17" iPF 5100 will be included in the SoftRIP Desktop Edition.
