Template Creator

SoftRIP Templates save hours of prep time for users with standardized output sizes and placement needs. Use a template in your layout to automatically snap images into position. Simple settings also perform automatic scaling and cropping functions. With templates, file preparation is three simple steps. Drag, drop, and RIP.

Layout Workflow Flexibility

SoftRIP lets you prepare your images in the direct-to-layout window, or hold single jobs to arrange later. Combine RIP'd files with new jobs and even rotate pre-RIP'd images to conserve media while achieving your specific printing objectives.

The Direct-to-Layout Workflow uses the full width of your media as a digital canvas. Drop images into the layout window and prepare them to print as a part of your overall print run. With Direct-to-Layout you can even use images already ripped as part of another layout without re-ripping.

Easy Tiling Tool

Nesting Options Just for You

Whether your top priority is conserving expensive media, trimming time, or finding a compromise between time and media savings SoftRIP has a solution for you. Tightest fit saves you the most media, while Super Easy Cut saves the most guillotine trimming time. Our best of both option balances media and time savings with an innovative turn-and-trim layout.

Finishing Time Savers

SoftRIP helps you complete prints for delivery to your customer. The optional Contour Cutting module includes Fotoba cutter support to streamline finishing, as well as support for a variety of contour cutting devices.

Leverage the Power Across Your Network

SoftRip Velotex Edition’s power isn’t limited to the RIP station. Any PC or Mac on your network can use SoftRip Velotex Edition to print using a regular web browser. SoftRip Velotex Edition's server tools are simple to setup on networked workstations and even easier to use.

Print From Any Program
With Wasatch you can easily send files to the RIP from any graphic applications. It even works for other computers on your company's network. Easily setup the RIP to look like a virtual printer. When you print, the output will go to a holding folder, or “hotfolder”, on your PC or network. Then you can open the file in SoftRIP or automatically RIP/Print.

More Than Just Hotfolders
With Wasatch ImageNET™ any PC, Mac, or Unix workstation on your network can interface with the RIP. Even a novice can setup the workstation for access in under a minute. Using regular web browsing software any networked user can connect to the RIP to:

Prepare Files to Print Automatically
With SoftRIP, you can use hotfolders to automatically scale, mirror or rotate jobs in preparations for print. Hotfolder file-prep especially saves time for dye sublimation users who routinely mirror jobs, or other workflows with standard settings. You can even set specific imaging configurations for your hotfolders to streamline color management for your networked users.

Quick Soft-Proofing
SoftRIP's exclusive Internet Deployment feature automates the process of creating and transmitting previews of your image before printing. With the option to send via email or FTP, your customers can quickly preview files prior to production. With Internet Deployment you streamline the approval process and reduce wasted time and consumables.
