New features of Version 16 

Version 16 includes all the features of previous versions, and new additions for all users.

Process multi-page PDF files

 

Have several projects with different cut contours? Group them into multi-page PDF files and submit them to CalderaRIP. Handling fewer files guarantees a more efficient workflow.

Streamline your cutting process

 

When preparing your jobs, CalderaRIP builds the rows by grouping the shapes by images. This helps the head of your cutting device to follow an optimized cut path without unnecessary back and forth.

Achieve higher cutting precision

 

Benefit from the newly added section to create, edit and select materials, and to associate methods to the materials. This new interface will ease and speed up the process in order to achieve higher cutting precision for your large format cutting devices.

Save time in sublimation & lamination workflows

 

Rotate your jobs by 180 degrees in VisualCut or GrandCut to streamline 2-step workflows such as sublimation and lamination— and have ready-to-cut jobs right after printing.

Save time ripping repeated patterns

 

Accelerate the ripping process of repeated patterns by choosing between the RIP’s Step&Repeat optimization, or the new Printer S&R option.

 

*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 HelpDesk.

Increase cutting precision on thicker materials

 

Instead of re-cutting the same job multiple times, define a number of Passes in VisualCut to save time, and achieve higher cutting precision on thicker materials.
