Wasatch SoftRIP V6.7 on display at Sign & Digital 2010

Press release from the issuing company

As one of the longest established and leading providers of RIP software to the sign-making and wide-format industries, Wasatch is offering a special SoftRIP promotional price to all its existing users at this year's Sign & Digital show. Visitors ordering the upgraded program from one of the four authorised resellers at the show will benefit from a 25 percent discount and everyone can see the latest features being demonstrated in daily sessions.

The latest release of Wasatch SoftRIP is v6.7 which incorporates refinements to existing capabilities and adds a new Tracer option and a powerful spot colour matching system. Simplicity is the key as these additional features strengthen the powerful capabilities of the software without making it complicated for the user.

Wasatch Tracer has been designed for swift interactivity and can identify raster and vector graphics to generate accurate contour cutting paths, either by producing them within the program or as imported files created using industry-standard packages such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. The foolproof work-flow gives users full control, removing margin for error and streamlining print-and-cut production.

Additionally, Wasatch Tracer is a valuable tool when working with white ink and clear varnish. This innovative option enables underlays, overlays and special paths to be created to accommodate chokes, spreads and automatic generation of white and clear from traced areas.

V6.7 makes Tracer cutting available to Zund, Kongsberg and Fotoba users
Wasatch's colour and RIP technology is legendary within the graphic arts and display industries, being easy to use yet feature rich and cost efficient for businesses of all sizes.

Proven Colour Accuracy - on both Process & Spot Colours
The pressing need for accurate colour is now fine-tuned in Wasatch v 6.7 with its Color Atlas Generator that allows for precise matching of spot and special shades, even on tricky media. This new feature enables users to match colours with target materials, making it easy to reproduce exact shades which work in conjunction with imported or custom databases and swatches.
