14 GrandRIP + SUPERWIDE SUPREMACY The largest community of users worldwide around wide format production GrandRIP+ is the ultimate production workflow solution for large-scale wideand superwide format print and print-to-cut applications. Built for speed, reliability and flexibility, GrandRIP+ represents the cutting edge of wide-format production software, brought to you in a fully packaged and dedicated edition for your KIP C7800 printer. + RIP Incorporating the key features of all Caldera s RIP packages, including Nest- O-Matik, Step & Repeat, SuperSpooler and Tiling+, GrandRIP+ also includes SignMark to add grommets, stitch or fold marks on your tiled output and make finishing a breeze. GrandRIP+ keeps your business adaptable with the ability to add extra modules, including cutting solutions and cost management or additional large format drivers, as you need them. All these powerful and indispensable tools are controlled from within one simple, intuitive user interface, allowing you to manage your production quickly, easily and seamlessly from start to finish. Native PDF Workflow from start to finish! The Adobe PDF Print Engine enables integrated, end-to-end PDF workflows for printing graphically rich content, including variable content for personalized publishing. The Caldera print solutions powered by Adobe PDF Print Engine allow PDF files to be rendered natively, without conversion to PostScript, helping to ensure that complex designs and effects, even variable print elements with transparency, are efficiently and reliably reproduced. Get ready to Variable Data Printing! Variable Data Printing (VDP) is a form of digital printing in which elements called variable data may be changed from one printed piece to the next, without stopping or slowing down the printing process. Variable data are elements such as text, graphics, images, etc. For example, personalized business cards, each with the same basic layout, the same visual identity, can be printed with a different name and address on each set of cards. The Adobe PDF format allows users to create documents with Xobjects. Xobjects are elements which are repeated several times in the document but saved only once in order to save storage place. Several tools, like the Adobe InDesign process or other specialized software applications are already available in the market to efficiently create these documents. In this case, variable data printing files are created during the Pre-press process: variable data and templates are merged into PDF format in which templates are saved as Xobjects. The PDF document is then imported into the Caldera RIP. GrandRIP+ s main interface
