New features
White Under Marks
Improve cutting on non-white media
The White Under Marks feature has been designed to improve cutting accuracy on all types of non-white media. When printing on dark, transparent or metallic substrates, and if white ink is available on the printer, CalderaRIP adds white ink under and around the cutting marks and codes to improve the cutter detection.
Preview
Inspect your jobs before printing
With the Preview, we have made job verification and production management a lot easier. Within the Caldera Spooler and CalderaJobs, open a preview in full screen and zoom in to easily identify the jobs inside the nest and check the marks before printing to avoid unwanted errors and waste.

SmartImport
Available in Fileman or in combination with the Smart Hotfolders, SmartImport extracts metadata from the filename (number of copies, targeted printer and presets, height, width & scale) to further automate job submission and avoid manual errors.
PrintProof
Improve your customer validation workflow by exporting TIFF proofs of your jobs after ripping and send them to your customers to reduce unwanted waste.
PDF MultiPage&Cut
Have several projects with different cut contours? Group them into multi-page PDF files and submit them directly to CalderaRIP. Handling fewer files guarantees a more efficient workflow.
NEW in Version 15.1
Image Step&Repeat
When preparing your jobs, CalderaRIP builds the rows by grouping the shapes by images, which helps the head of your cutting device to follow an optimized path and avoid unnecessary back and forths.
NEW in Version 15.1
Force 180 degrees
Rotate your jobs by 180° in VisualCut or GrandCut to streamline two-step workflows such as sublimation or lamination — and have ready‑to‑cut jobs right after printing.
NEW in Version 15.1
Printer S&R
To accelerate the ripping process of repeated patterns, you can choose between the RIP’s S&R optimization, or the new “Printer S&R” option*.
NEW in Version 15.1
*Currently available for Reggiani Renoir, EFI COLORS-340 & POWER-340, Kornit Allegro, and all MS printers. See the updated list of printers supporting the “Use Printer S&R” option on www.helpdesk.caldera.com.
VisualCut Multi-pass
Instead of re-cutting the same job multiple times, use the Passes parameter in VisualCut to save time and increase the cutting precision on thicker roll materials.
NEW in Version 15.1.1
Version 15 improvements
Save up to 15% more media with Nesting 2.0
The Nesting algorithm generates even more optimized layouts with your designs, saving the need to nest them manually in Compose & Nest-O-Matik.
NEW in Version 15.1
New Pantone FHI Spot Colors
CalderaRIP includes a new update of the Pantone Fashion and Home Interior Spot Colors library. In addition to the current 2310 colors available, these new 315 color references further expand fashion and home décor printing possibilities, while enhancing the accurate reproduction of colors.
Fotoba ASPWhen producing many custom jobs of different sizes on a roll printer, automate your trimming workflow using the ASP* (Automatic Slicer Positioning) functionality of the Fotoba XLA 170 to reduce manual processes and guarantee maximum cutting speed, flexibility and precision. The ASP feature requires the Trim-O-Matik option.

TileOrder from Bottom RightExtended settings have been added to TileOrder to ease the production of large-format projects. When creating a poster or another project in Tiling+, you can now select to start printing from bottom-right for more flexibility and to save valuable time on-site.
|
Wide Contour OffsetBenefit from an increased range of Cut Contour offsets (from [-10mm, +10mm] to [-100mm, +100mm]) to improve cutting accuracy on shrinking or distorting textile substrates.
