When subscribing to CalderaCare, benefit from the latest exclusive features directly in your CalderaRIP software. For CalderaRIP Version 14, the following features are available to optimize your production: 

Fotoba Automated Slicer Positioning  When you need to produce many custom jobs of different sizes on a roll printer, use the Automated Slicer Positioning (ASP) functionality of the Fotoba XLA 170 to save cutting time. Available only with CalderaRIP.	Speed up job submission with Smart Import  The Smart Import feature allows Smart Hotfolders to automatically extract meta-data from the filename, such as the number of copies, targeted printer or presets in order to speed up job submission of traditional file-based workflows.	Wide Contours Offsets Benefit from an increased range of Cut Contours offsets (from [-10mm, +10mm] to [-100mm, +100mm]). This feature greatly facilitates the cutting on shrinking textile substrates.

White Under Marks 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 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.	Extended TileOrder settings Extended settings have been added to our TileOrder feature. When creating a poster or another project in the Tiling+ module, you can select to start from bottom-right for more flexibility and to help save valuable time on-site.

Smart Import in Compose Easily drag and drop jobs in Compose and it will automatically load the correct number of copies in your manual composition to reduce manual errors and speed up daily operations.	New Pantone FHI Spot Colors In addition to the current 2310 colors available, these 315 new Pantone Fashion and Home Interior Spot Colors references further expand fashion and home decor printing possibilities and enhance accurate color reproduction.

With a CalderaCare customer service contract, peace of mind is included in the price. It is your guarantee of timely intervention by our team of software experts, with response guidelines in place from the moment you raise a ticket. Depending upon the severity of the issue, customers are offered options to register the request as critical, major or minor:

• Critical – 2h response time – if your production is blocked and there’s no existing solution or workaround to your knowledge
• Major – 4h response time – production is still possible but not as efficiently as usual and, while a solution may exist, it’s not obvious to find or apply
• Minor – 8h response time – when production isn’t significantly impacted, but you have an issue that needs  a Caldera support solution

Please note that response times are counted from the creation of the support ticket during the published CalderaCare working hours for your region.
