DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., March 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caldera, part of
Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the launch of its latest
raster image processor ("RIP") solution for Direct-to-Film (DTF)
and Direct-to-Garment (DTG) digital textile printing. This new
solution offers an expanded range of features for printed apparel
creators, printers and producers and is compatible with Windows and
MacOS.
Caldera's new RIP solution is available to the entire garment
decoration market, providing a simplified tool that allows users to
offer full customization to their clients for unique pieces and
small batch print runs. The interface is easy to use and includes
built-in self-training guides, which allow users of all experience
levels to learn and improve their DTF and DTG skills
autonomously.
"We've made the interface intuitive and focused on the features
that matter most for DTF and DTG users," says Sebastien Hanssens, VP of Marketing &
Operations at Caldera. "We've built the product to simplify the
creation of accurate apparel decoration designs that align with a
brand's colors. This not only saves users significant time,
allowing them to complete more orders, but it also helps beginners
to learn and improve DTF and DTG skills through integrated
educational content."
The solution's software can handle white ink with precise White
Management Tools and measurements, and its Print Management
features include ready-to-use presets built by experts. Users can
also preview their designs before printing, allowing them to spot
potential errors and save time.
Caldera's specialized RIP includes File Preparation tools, such
as automatic image mirroring within the interface, as well as a
wide range of Color Management Tools. Its software introduces
initial functionality for spot color conversion and fine-tuning, a
knockout tool and management of up to 12 inks, including
fluorescents, varnishes, glosses and pre-treatments.
The new RIP solution can be used for various types of
applications, including t-shirts, hoodies, sports apparel, hats,
bags, flags and banners, and is compatible with different file
formats: BMP, PSB, PSD, PNG, TIF/TIFF, PDF, AI and JPEG files.
