All Direct Jet UV printers ship with our Color Byte RIP 9 software. RIP 9 starts with inline printing. Rather than running multiple passes to put down clear, white and color, three groups of print head channels print in any combination of two or three of these channels simultaneously, inline in a single pass. Through this innovative process, RIP 9 is also able to offer remarkable single-pass, raised-texture options to bring your projects to new heights. Create TEXTUR3D™ signage, cell phone covers and other promotional items that make your customers' messages stand out from the crowd. RIP 9 also integrates seamlessly with industry-standard design programs like CorelDRAW®, Photoshop® and Illustrator® to streamline production processes.
