Product Description
PowerRIP ImageSet is iProof's newest and most powerful product for the graphic arts.
We've taken our proven desktop and imagesetter PostScript RIP knowledge and advanced to the next step, providing a versatile and easy to use product with the power a professional offset or silk screen printer needs to get work done.
Our new halftone screening turns an ordinary inkjet printer into an imagesetter, enabling output of screened film positives that are used to expose offset plates or silk screens.
You can generate screened separations from any composite PostScript or PDF file or print separations from your favorite front-end application. You can print a composite from a separation to check for trapping and moiré, while specifying your own screen rulings, or use our built-in pre-defined screen rulings.
Page Previewing
With PowerRIP ImageSet you can preview individual pages in both the output queue and the "processed jobs" queue. This can save a lot of time if a mistake is caught before expensive media is wasted. |

Job/Page priority
PowerRIP ImageSet allows users to change print priority on a per-job or per-page basis. When manually inserting jobs in the RIP or re-printing jobs that have been ripped; simply use the slide-bar to set values from 1 to 99 (just like Window's Print Manager) or enter the number by hand. The job or page will then assume it's new print priority. When printing from applications (Quark, PageMaker, etc.) select the priority in the print settings dialog. |

Re-Print Pages without Re-Ripping
PowerRIP ImageSet allows you to re-print individual pages or colours from a separation with a few simple clicks of your mouse. Once the job has been processed, simply open the job item in the queue, select the pages you wish to re-send to the printer (1). Select the number of copies (2) and click "Print Selected Pages" (3). The selected pages will be sent to the output queue. When making multiple copies, the pages can be "stacked" (1,1,1, 2,2,2, 3,3,3 etc.) or collated (1,2,3, 1,2,3, etc.) |

ICM/ICC Based colour management
PowerRIP ImageSet supports the use of ICC and ICMs for colour management. The user can select the colour space of the input CMYK and RGB as well as the output ICM if they desire. All media types included with PowerRIP ImageSet have been pre-linearized and the manual selection of an output profile is seldom needed. If the user has created a custom output profile, however, PowerRIP ImageSet uses it per your request. You can select the ICC/ICMs at print-time or right at the RIP control panel when manually inserting PostScript or PDF files or re-processing previous jobs. A utility is included in the software which allows you to add ICM name entries into your PPD so that they appear at print-time in the print configuration dialog. |

Page Nesting (Imposition)
To make more efficient use of your media, PowerRIP ImageSet allows you to gang-up the pages of a job to fit "n-up" on the output media. You can also specify a reduction ratio for your pages, which allows for "proof-sheet" like output. Simply select the destination media size and the page reduction ratio and PowerRIP will auto-orient the pages and fit them on the output media.

Print Composite Pages From Separated PostScript files
PowerRIP ImageSet allows you to print composite pages from PostScript separation files. This feature is very useful, as you can use the composite output to check for trapping and moire, or simply use it as a proof to show the customer. PowerRIP ImageSet's preview utility will allow you to view each separation as well as the composite output. If using halftone screening for output, you can select the angle and frequency for CMYK and spot colors. |

Print Separations from Composite PostScript or PDF files
PowerRIP ImageSet allows you to print separations from a composite PostScript file or PDF file. If using halftone screening for output, you can specify the angle and frequency for the CMYK separations. |
|
 |
Halftone Screening
PowerRIP ImageSet allows the use of halftone screening, thus turning your inkjet printer into a low-cost imagesetter. You can specify the screen frequency/angle at print time or you can select from one of our pre-defined screen ruling sets. You can also define your own pre-defined screen rulings. |
|
 |
Density Calibration
PowerRIP ImageSet includes our Q-Curve™ utility which will allow you to apply a density curve to your composite or separated job. You can curve the plates individually or apply the same curve to all. You can use the graphical curve interface or enter the desired density numbers. |
