Founder EagleRIP

Overview

PDF 1.7 – PostScript 3 for superb quality documents

Founder’s EagleRIP creates superb quality PDF and PostScript jobs. Complex documents, vivid colours, transparent objects, files with embedded ICC profiles and smooth shading are consistently processed to meet the high standards of the most demanding customer. EagleRIP provides support for features within PDF 1.7 and PostScript 3.

Performance that meets your most demanding print production needs

Founder’s EagleRIP is multi-threaded and scales with system platform performance. For maximum performance EagleRIP supports over 100 CTP, CTF, Indigo press, laser printer and digital proofer devices, as well as 1 bit TIFF, 8-bit TIFF and Winprint output used by most leading vendor print devices.

Ensure output quality while reducing errors with fast, flexible and detailed screen previews and dot previews

Ensure the output to plate is accurate by digitally previewing colour and dot shape prior to committing to physical output. EagleRIP lets you preview colour separations and composites, and includes preview functions such as Zoom, Negative, Mirror, Rotate and Screen preview of the bitmap dot.

Higher quality print with screening options

EagleRIP screen dot shapes allow users to select the dot that ensures maximum printing quality. Nine standard screenings include Euclidean Round, Rhomb, Ellipse, Diamond, Pure Round, Sharp Ellipse, Square, Cross and FM screening. Optional screenings such as EagleFAM (AM & FM hybrid printing) and EagleAGS (gravure printing) are available as plug-ins.

Save media and time with ganging

EagleRIP Ganging Viewer allows the operator to view multiple pages simultaneously, thus reducing the time spent to confirm that all pages have the correct content, and image data is in the correct orientation prior to output. Ganging allows the user of CTF and proofing to maximise the usage of media for lower costs. Ganging can be either automatic or by manual control providing maximum flexibility.

Supports advanced PDF vector trapping for improved quality and production

Founder EagleRIP includes a PDF trapping plug-in option that creates traps between vector objects, images and shadings. This plug-in traps vector images with high speed without compromising quality.
