RIP software for Mac OS
At FESPA, Roland DG is presenting the new PrintStudio software. PrintStudio is a powerful RIP for Mac OS, with a very user-friendly interface and Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE). It complements Roland’s VersaWorks, the popular RIP which Roland supplies as standard with all its printers, and is compatible with a PC. PrintStudio can control a wide range of Roland printers, including the popular VersaCAMM, SOLJET PRO4 and VersaUV series and the latest desktop cutter, the GS-24. A selection of older models is also supported.
Calender for use in combination with Texart sublimation printer
Roland DG will also be demonstrating the new Texart CS-64. This is a robust, user-friendly and attractively priced calender, measuring 64″ (162.5 cm) for use in combination with the Texart RT-640 sublimation printer. The calender meets the requirements of both new and experienced textile printers and sign-makers. The roller transfers prints from transfer paper onto polyester-based materials or applies ink to directly-printed textiles.
