PowerRIP X™ is the most user friendly Macintosh PostScript RIP available.
With PowerRIP X version 10 you obtain a 20% to 30% greater color gamut volume on fine art papers, like UltraSmooth Fine Art and Velvet Fine Art. Very important for Gilcee print making and fine art reproduction. On Epson's Photo Quality Inkjet paper, PowerRIP X actually has a 50% greater color gamut, than with our competitors' software RIP. This enables you to make a better low cost proof, that is more accurate.
Contract Proofing benefits also. A greater 'Color Gamut Volume' means a better match to named spot colors, like Pantone®.
Photographers easily obtain 10% to 15% more colors on glossy/semigloss papers.
Of course with the price of paper and ink these days, you want to get the best color reproduction possible for your money, which is only possible right now with PowerRIP X.
