Delta RIP

[gsherrold]

Does anyone know if Delta can output 1-bit TIFF imported from another workflow to an imagesetter?

I assume that you asking if the Delta can import 1 bit TIFF files from some other system and then image them to the local device - in sort of a TIFF Shooter mode?

The answer to this question is " Kind Of "!
The Delta has a very limited capability to take in 1 bit TIFF. It does not support compression so the files have to be uncompressed, and it has a limit to the overall size. It has been a while since I've worked with this so I am not sure of the exact details.

The best thing to do is to run a test - just make sure the system sending you the TIFF files are able to make uncompressed ones.

Most people will end up suggesting that you simply get a TIFF Shooter interface for your device, there may even be a way to hook both it and your Delta depending on the device.

If on the other hand your question is can you export 1 bit TIFF from your Delta to output on another device - now we can really help! Our TIFFITFLOW can drive 1 bit data with hybrid and regular screening from the Delta.
