Internationally renowned wide-format software developer Caldera is preparing to launch a raft of new and updated products at FESPA 2013. Among the highlights on Caldera's stand will be a brand new web-to-print solution dedicated to wide-format PSPs, specialist textile printing software and the latest versions of its award-winning RIP software, v9.20, and workflow system Flow+ 2.0. To complement its new products at FESPA, Caldera will produce a magazine: Gamut, which will include informative, original articles written by industry experts. One of the most exciting new products from Caldera is WebShop, a standalone web-to-print solution that has been developed to specifically meet the needs of wide-format print houses. VisualTEX+ has been created to help wide-format houses enter the lucrative textile printing market. Based on Caldera's established RIP architecture, VisualTEX+ additionally boasts special tools for tiling pattern repeats, creating multiple colorways, colorbooks and creating custom inksets. Following the release of v9.10 of Caldera's flagship RIP package last year, v9.20 contains even more customer-requested improvements. A new preflight tool will be available as part of Caldera's v9.20 VisualRIP+ and GrandRIP+ products as well as WebShop and Flow+. Utilising Callas technology, the preflight feature is able to check each PDF against ISO standards at various stages of the workflow. Flow+ 2.0 boasts a sleek, ergonomic new user interface that is better organized and customizable with shortcuts. As well as these new offerings, FESPA visitors will also have the chance to see Caldera's innovative Variable Display digital signage solution in action (with production monitoring plug-in PrintBoard). The Caldera team will be on hand to explain how Variable Display can easily be provided as an additional product by wide-format PSPs and sign-makers, as well as promoting efficiency in their own businesses using PrintBoard.
