Along with the start of FESPA 2013 in London, ColorGATE was proud to announce the update of the entire RIP software family to version 8. Starting with version 8, the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) will become a permanent feature of all ColorGATE RIP software solutions. The advantages for the end users are: Predictable print results, automated PDF workflow and optimal color reproduction results. All RIP software solutions are based on a modular architecture which can be extended when needed. To create a tailor-made RIP software ColorGATE is providing the Output Management Sets (OMS). The RIP software is fully scalable via the application of OMS. Every OMS can contain the following components. A printer driver of the categorie Cat.1, Cat.2 or Cat.3 or S, M, L or P, an Adobe PDF Print Engine RIP and the optional Ink Saver Module. ColorGATE customers are using the Ink Saver Technology successful for many years. With Ink Saver Module the total amount of ink can be reduced by up to 30 percent without a visible loss of quality, which also means a reduction of the total printing costs. Ink Saver is available for CMYK, light-color halftone printing systems as well as for multicolor systems. Therefore, ColorGATE strongly recommends the standard equipment of an OMS with the Ink Saver Technology for an environmentally conscious, eco-friendly and cost effective production. Version 8 will be available in September 2013. Orders can be accepted from 1st of July 2013. Until the roll-out of version 8 in September ColorGATE will launch a time-limited upgrade promotion with special benefits for end users.
