A RIP allows users to get the maximum output from their medium and wide-format printer, and with the Evolution Graphics RIP, users can better preserve the original depth of color. For graphics and professional-photography applications outputting images from 16-bit RGB, DigiFab Systems has now added 16-bit processing — from source to output — to its Evolution Graphics RIP software. The RIP also improves the neutrality of gray-scale printing by eliminating typical color shifts. Superior black-and-white printing is ensured through the software’s Gray-Scale option, which improves and enhances black-and-white images via image-patch profiling to adjust color.
