Navigator RIPs drive CTP and CTF engines from Agfa, Screen, Fujifilm, Kodak, MarkAndy, ECRM and Heidelberg, to name just a few. It’s also ensuring that the RIP works with the thousands of computer-to-plate, computer-to-film, and computer-to-press interfaces that Xitron supports around the world.” Xitron is expecting to fulfill upgrade requests from hundreds of Xitron Navigator, RTI, Compose, and ECRM RIP users over the coming months. “It’s not just a matter of verifying that print jobs process properly. “Pre-release testing is the crucial step in the delivery process,” Crews said. “It’s vitally important that we get this into our customers’ prepress operations before jobs in PDF 2.0 format become the norm, rather than the exception.” The PDF 2.0 specification was published just over one year ago and development of a Harlequin RIP capable of complying with the specification was running in parallel with the anticipated final specification.
“This has been one of the most anticipated RIP releases in recent memory,” said Karen Crews, President of Xitron. Harlequin RIP was the first commercially available RIP with PDF 2.0 compliance.
Navigator 12 will be one of the first PDF 2.0-compliant RIPs available in the commercial market. “After months of in-depth quality testing by Xitron engineering, Navigator 12 with PDF 2.0 compatibility is ready for deployment,” said the company. Xitron (Ann Arbor, Michigan), a leading independent developer of RIP and workflow products for commercial, digital, flexo and high-speed inkjet printing, has begun shipping the next generation of Harlequin RIP – Navigator 12.0r1.
