Hello everyone,
This is my first post here in PrintPlanet, though i'm regularly browsing this helpful site. Will somebody help me please?
Our company is a printer of newspapers here in the Philippines. Our prepress is equip with an Agfa Accuset 1500 and Taipan RIP 1.1. I know kind'a very old. Our company has no plan yet to purchase a CTP system as business is not good. However, I told them that we need to upgrade our RIP so that we can accept more jobs. So they asked me to make a proposal for the RIP upgrade. My problem is that I am very much confuse (actually overwhelmed) on how am I going to propose a "right" upgrade that is cost-efficient with very costly newer RIPs out there. I only wanted a software RIP that can drive our imagesetter, render PDF 1.3/PDFx-1a (as we are a newspaper printer but PDF 1.7 a plus) efficiently, can processed Asian characters especially Chinese and Japanese perfect, runs in PC platform.
Please help me what available options out there. Thank you.
