Hi Edbed, I have a number of European printshop customers mostly using CRON and some Amsky CtP systems. After some "hard years" in the beginning, both Chinese manufacturers had reached a high-class technical level. CRON had released the first "double drum" CtP two years ago, which is working...

ProofMaster from PrintFactory is my favourite MAC based RIP solution. PrintFactory

Hi Chris, I will send it via transfernow tomorrow morning, if you send me a mail address Martin

Hi Chris, I don´t know, if it would help you. I have the full Xitron Navigator RIP v.8.3r0 (Harlequin) installer incl. Screen DTR-PTR plugin etc. here. Have a look to the attached OnlineManuals PDF and tell me if you want it. Martin

I advice you to use StudioRIP and an Epson printer for producing screen printing films.

I am sorry to tell you, you will have to upgrade your Navigator v8.3 to the current Navigator v14.

StudioRIP at the bottom? I don't think so. I've been selling, installing and supporting StudioRIP for 10 years and have a lot of customers in Europe and, since last week, even in Argentina. Unfortunately, I don't have an overview of the total number worldwide, but it must be thousands.

lostmind, yes, you have to create a CIP3 / PPF file out of your CtP RIP, your workflow or imposition app (Preps). My Komori customers either have a network connection of the console PC system (Win), or the PQ4 data is transferred quite "nostalgically" using 3.5 inch floppy disks. ;-)

Hi lostmind, for the CIP3/PPF import and conversion to the Komori PQ4 file format, you can use the Komori PCC Windows application.

Looking forward to climb up K2 at DRUPA 2024 next week. 🤗

I am almost sure that PressPerCent can not generate WIF file format, but perhaps PressProfiler can.

Hi pd, Sorry I dont know. The best is to ask Andrew Aldridge from Prepress UK PressProfiler CIP3 – Offset Printing Press CIP3 Ink Key Presetting and Statistics Solution Martin

Hi pd, #2 and #3 are basically using the same engine from Excourse, but #3 has the more comfortable and flexible UI. There are many software RIPs for CtP in the market, which generate CIP3 and/or proprietary file formats too (Harlequin, StudioRIP etc.) Best regards Martin

Better use a RIP for CtP.

Hi graphicsource, since macOS 13 (Ventura), Apple no longer supports PostScript (PPD) completely and in Sonoma, PS is vanished. I suspect that is where your problem lies.

Hi TYson L, If a solution beyond Heidelberg subscriptions is required, I can only recommend the MAC-only application PressPerCent. Regards Martin

Hi Foliart, I just sent you an email. Best regards Martin

Hello BJeff, if you are open for alternative RIP solutions, try out StudioRIP which contains already the needed "Creo2Scitex" TIFF tag for connecting to Kodak Xpo TIFF-Shooter.
