Upgrade to Version 9.0 of the Harlequin RIP® to enjoy even faster performance and a new range of productivity features for your print shop. We’ve extended our popular Try Before You Buy programme so that users of previous versions can run Version 9.0 for a trial period before upgrading. So why not give your supplier a call now? The Harlequin RIP continues to outpace other RIPs in its processing speeds and flexibility. You can use it to drive your CtP, proofing , digital presses and wide format devices. It offers you workflow options that run inside the RIP rather than on separate applications, saving you time and money.
And it processes PDF, PostScript® and XPS natively in one RIP engine (as well as TIFF™, JPEG), so you don’t have to worry about file formats.
The developers of the Harlequin RIP take pride in providing you with the features and added efficiencies that you need across all your pre-press and printing operations. Upgrade to Version 9.0 now by contacting your supplier.
For consistency of output use the Harlequin Server RIP to drive all of your pre-press and printing equipment, from your CtP and proofing devices through to your digital press and wide format printer. The Harlequin RIP is JDF (Job Definition Format) enabled, is simple to use, and provides you with one common operating environment which means that your operator training costs are kept under control.
Native PDF processing: no need to flatten transparency
The Harlequin RIP has processed PostScript files natively since 1988 and PDF files natively since 1997, including rendering of live PDF transparency since 2002. It also processes XPS, the print and document format from Microsoft natively.
The Harlequin RIP has a rich feature set which includes many pre-press processes which are normally run on separate applications, giving workflow functionality. By reducing the requirement for additional applications, the Harlequin RIP increases efficiency and reduces costs.
Upgrade now to the Harlequin Server RIP and experience the difference it will make to your print operation!
What’s new in Version 9.0?
FOGRA certified
Fogra certified using the new plugin for the Epson Pro 7890 proofer including validation of PDF/X conformance by correct rendering of the FOGRACert PDF/X-Ouput testform (based on GWG patches)
Color accuracy: significant improvements for proofing, making CtP plates or driving a digital press. Reduced color errors for any given printer, ink, media, screening and resolution combination and optimum use of the printer’s gamut
Full support for the new PANTONE Plus library.
Newly supported platform
Windows Server 2008 R2.
Increased optimization for PDF files with live transparency
Accelerates the speed of processing transparent pages significantly. The Harlequin RIP has rendered live PDF natively since 2002.
Roaming negative pages
Faster, easier and less error prone inspection by allowing the operator to view them in positive mode.
Cross-modulated screening
Added option for HXM, geared explicitly towards use on lower resolution devices between 900 and 1500 dpi.
Closed loop calibration
New API to allow your process control solution to install and manage calibration curves in the RIP automatically.
Variable data print
A new external mode for PDF retained Raster that accelerates VDP jobs for digital production presses. It allows the RIP to deliver page foregrounds and backgrounds as rasters for management and aggregation outside the RIP to give additional speed increase.
PDF standards support
Extended PDF/X support: the RIP will apply color management and overprint control as required by PDF/X-4p:2008; PDF/X-4:2010; PDF/X-4p:2010; PDF/X- 5g and PDF/X5-pg. It can also be configured to reject jobs that do not conform to a specific standard
PDF update after ISO 32000-1: Version 9.0 uses the corrected equations for calculating ColorDodge and ColorBurn transparency blend modes to be published in ISO 32000-2 expected in 2012
Japan 1-6 character collection: support for those cases where the required font is pre-installed in the RIP as well as when embedded within the PDF.
One RIP for proofing, CTP, digital print and wide format
For consistency of output use the Harlequin RIP across all your pre-press and printing equipment from your CtP device and proofing device through to your digital press and wide format printer. It’s easy to use and provides you with one common operating environment so that you can keep your operator training costs under control.
PostScript and PDF in one RIP
You need to able to handle mixed workflows and a RIP that can process PostScript and PDF natively in one RIP engine is faster and more efficient. And with only one RIP interface to learn there is less of a training overhead. Processing files natively means there is no intermediary conversion to another file format so that files are rendered more speedily and accurately. The Harlequin RIP has processed PostScript files natively since 1988 and PDF files natively since 1997, including rendering of live PDF transparency since 2002. It also processes XPS, the Microsoft Windows print and document format, natively.
Ideal for hybrid workflows
If you’re looking to add a short run digital press alongside your analogue and CtP device for on demand printing such as one page leaflets, small booklets and business cards, make sure you use the Harlequin RIP. The proven RIP engine is inside a wide variety of digital presses, including HP Indigo, and with an extensive track record in analogue, it’s the ideal RIP to use in your hybrid workflow.
Variable data in PDF files
The requirement to customize print is driving the demand for Variable Data Processing(VDP). The PDF Retained Raster feature, new in the Harlequin Server RIP is designed to speed up the processing of variable data in PDF files by streamlining the RIP process, scanning the file to be printed to locate invariant image data; that image data which is common and does not change throughout the print run. This data is retained and returned to the RIP process when it is required.
Workflow options
The Harlequin RIP has a rich feature set which includes many pre-press processes which are normally run on separate applications, giving workflow functionality. By reducing the requirement for additional applications, the Harlequin RIP increases efficiency and reduces costs.
