We are the most use software RIP for inkjet printers in the world with over 175,000 units sold.
So basically, a RIP (Raster Image Processor) is a software (even when called 'hardware RIP it is still just software, which is explained in the FLAAR Report which is available from our university). This software takes your image and text and tells the wide format printer where. ONYX RIPCenter software provides the control and simplicity needed to get started in wide format print production and achieve consistent high-quality output at an affordable price. The versatile tools in ONYX RIPCenter software make it easy to prepare jobs and create sellable prints faster.
We are the software team that built the first American PostScript ImageSetter. PowerRIP's programming team also built the first PostScript software RIPs, that Epson and Canon shipped to market for inkjet printing.
We know more about halftone dot shapes and printing than any RIP vendor in the market today. Our founder's family started in the printing business in 1904, in color separation, when process inks were invented. Every generation of the family has been involved ever since. This year, 2006, is our 103rd year in this tradition of inventing new and better ways to print images.
Our RIP for screen printing does everything you'll need. We have a Mac and a PC version, we print halftones and indexed stochastic colors to film, with perfect registration. You get imagesetter quality on your inkjet, from a company that knows and has built imagesetters. You will get color proofs with or without halftone dots. We work with Epson's own inks and you can use inks and films from other companies as well. We work with all major graphic arts programs.
