Roland’s ErgoSoft Roland Edition 2 Rip software is available as of this month. It has been developed specifically for the Texart XT-640 and RT-640.
Existing software and print settings can still be used after updating to the ErgoSoft Roland Edition 2, which has more than 40 new features/enhancements.
A new dithering method increases rasterisation speed and improves dot placement accuracy resulting in 40% faster Rip times and smoother gradients. A new PDF engine displays dynamic, colour-accurate previews of PDF files and improves overall performance and colour management.
ErgoSoft Roland Edition 2 also includes up to eight simultaneous Rip Servers. The new Printer Pool feature provides job management flexibility, allowing the same file to be sent easily to multiple devices. Also included, is a Hot Folder feature.
Image Add-Ons functions support several new effects such as barcodes, rulers and drill holes. Multiple effects can also be applied to a single set of data. Specific editing functions support file formats that are commonly used for textile printing. The Step & Repeat feature to create flawless repeating textile patterns from a single image is now available for PDF and EPS file formats. The Colour Replacement feature for creating multiple colour variations is also now available for TIFF and PSD file formats. VDP is now included as standard.
Current XT-640 and RT-640 users who activated the previous ErgoSoft Roland Edition Rip on or after 8 March 2016 will have access to a complimentary software upgrade. Those seeking an upgrade need to contact their local Roland DG dealer.
