The more popular programs like AccuRIP and Wasatch SoftRIP (for a milder, gentler, kinder RIP) can cost $600 and up to $2,000 with all the bells and whistles.
Usually you can hit print from your art program, select your RIP software and halftone settings and out come some purty lookin’ films.īut it is expensive, man. RIP software is pretty important to the print shop workflow because it gives you outstanding control of your halftones, allows your wide format printer to handle large file sizes without locking up, and more importantly it saves you time.
