MUTOH America Releases New Powerful VerteLith™ RIP Software To Enhance The Use Of Its UV/LED Digital Printers
Tuesday, August 17, 2021 : Phoenix – MUTOH, a leader in wide-format inkjet printers, cutters and inks, is excited to announce the release of their new, genuine RIP software, VerteLith™.
This revolutionary software optimizes the performance of MUTOH printers, is easy to use, and delivers exceptional workflow efficiency for customers.
“By making extensive use of the Harlequin Host Renderer features,” says Mutoh’s Mr. Norishige Kakuno, Executive Engineer, “VerteLith delivers advanced features that conventional RIP software does not offer such as avoiding printing jobs incorrectly by displaying a soft proof and ripped image preview, and ink cost calculation before printing.”
He continues: “Additionally, while conventional RIP software mainly targets roll media, VerteLith is the new all-in-one RIP software covering most features required for roll media printing as well as integrating a jig layout tool to improve usability for UV flatbed printers. It saves a lot of time and effort by enabling auto-image positioning of the printing material on the flatbed table or auto-page layout on each individual jig slot. The jig layout tool is just one example of the new features being offered to improve customer’s efficiency and to develop new markets.”
VerteLith is bundled with FlexiDESIGNER MUTOH Edition 21 software and includes advanced functions such as MUTOH Clear Tone, an original half-tone technology which achieves beautiful image quality and smoothness.
VerteLith also features two enhanced preview functions.
The soft proof function simulates the color of the printed output on the screen and the RIP preview function displays the actual printing dots on the screen prior to output.
These new functions allow users to enjoy a “what you see is what you get” RIP environment.
Current RIP software programs are focused primarily on roll-to-roll large format printers.
VerteLith goes beyond that to include several tools which enhance the use of UV-LED flatbed printers.
The jig layout tool prints raised varnish outlines to keep objects in place, eliminating the need for custom jigs.
VerteLith features auto-layout and print multi-page PDF functions at the click of a button and supports auto-generation of white and varnish inks to create rich, textured prints without complicated steps.
Additionally, auto-generation of Pantone© coated/uncoated spot colors is a standard, included feature of VerteLith.
