Graphics One is introducing a new family of ColorMate RIP production software into the digital imaging market that will cover not only the markets that it is targeting with its turnkey systems but other printing applications that the company will soon be involved in.
The RIP software will be compatible with the Macintosh operating systems and will drive all of the printers that are appropriate for its offering. The ColorMate RIP family will be intuitive and fully-featured.
GO ColorMate RIP for Macintosh
– GO ColorMate RIP SP (screen print).
– GO ColorMate TT (toner transfer).
– GO ColorMate RIP DS (dye sublimation).
– GO ColorMate DTG/DTF (direct-to-garment and direct-to-film).
– Other vertical applications.
ColorMate RIP will help enhance the printing workflow, add advanced capabilities, provide colour matching capabilities, process files at a much faster speed, control costs and provide cost efficiencies that a normal driver cannot do. The workspace is designed with simplicity in mind without functionality being taken away.
Not only will the software offer world-class features, but over time, the product will be multiplatform, offer production scalability and institute new production techniques not found in other RIPs.
Target markets
The philosophy of using ColorMate is its ease of use, but with feature sets for specific targeted applications or markets. The specialised versions are as follows:
GO ColorMate RIP SP (screen print)
This will be used with our ScreenMate product to address the Macintosh market.
GO ColorMate TT (toner transfer)
Graphics One will market the Macintosh version of its TT RIP for the OKI market.
GO ColorMate RIP DS (dye sub)
This is a Mac-based RIP with value pricing. This will be especially critical for users of 60.9cm (24 inch) dye sublimation printers and above. One other capability of ColorMate is its ability to address full eight-colour printers, including those printers using fluorescent colours.
GO ColorMate DTG / DTF (direct-to-garment and direct-to-film)
Prism Inks has developed both DTG and DTF inks and is expected that Graphics One will have a full turnkey DTF solution in Q4 of 2021. The ColorMate DTG/DTF Mac-based product will be available prior to GO releasing a full turnkey system.
