What RIP software should I get?Updated 3 days ago
Tons of different RIP softwares exist. What you get will depend on your budget and what you want out of the software.
ImagePrint R.E.D. Rip Software:
On ScreenPrinting.com, we offer ImagePrint. ImagePrint is the first RIP software that works with ANY printer. Canon, Epson, large format, etc - literally any brand/printer, it'll work. Most RIP software will only work with a specific device, so having one software that can connect with any printer you have in your shop is a game changer. Not only is it convenient, it's simple to install and use with the provided dongle. It also has built in troubleshooting, the program tells you exactly what the issue is so you can fix it and continue without disruptions to production, a unique feature to this software. Lastly, it's easy to install and use, and who doesn't want a simple software?
Filmmaker V11:
Another really popular choice we offer that's easy to use is Filmmaker V11. Filmmaker, much like ImagePrint above, is not subscription based, but it has the added benefit of not requiring a dongle for installation. It comes in two versions, Desktop or XL Pro (for printers wider than 25"), and is only compatible with Windows (10 or 11 64 bit) at this time. It is compatible with most printers, but not all. It includes features such as In-Rip Separations, Visual Production Manager, Ink Density Wizard, and Direct-to-driver printing - making this a solid choice. The other added benefit is no subscription costs with this software and is easily downloadable from their website so it can be used almost as soon as it's purchased. We also offer a trial version for you to try before you buy here!
Separation Studio NXT & Accurip Emerald Rip
Our newest offering in this space is one that's been around a while, but has made some major upgrades with this newest update and we're proud to be able to offer it to our customers. Separation Studios NXT & Accurip Emerald! This is a bundle purchase, which includes a Separations program and a Rip software for a very streamlined production process from design to print. It is designed to work with both PC & Mac users (check systems compatibility), and many of the popular printer models for film production.
