Fast Ripping
Optimised for newspaper production and using techniques like RDF and screen cache, the Elara RIP is the fastest in the market.
unique features
The Elara team continuously add new features and improvements to ensure the latest standards in the industry like PDF-X4 are met.
INK-Saving features
Elara uses in-rip Ink optimising on three different levels. From OCR/GCR up to Gray-axis multi profile optimisation.
the build in elara rip
all on-board and fast!
The rip features, like hybrid screening, creeping, high-precision screening and moiré prevention are all on-board and don’t require extra modules or licenses. Even the brand new “blue screening”, Advanced ink-saving and AI functions
are standard for all users, making Elara even more complete.
Thanks to the parallelisation and features like screen-caching and RDF the Elara RIP ensures fast ripping, providing you with optimal production speed.
The unique Elara Rip is an integral part of the Elara software. As a module it doesn’t require separate hardware and can started in parallel on the workflow server many times depending on your hardware capacity. The Elara rip is fully features with function like AM-Screening, Hybrid Screening, Dot-gain (press and/or ctp) compensation, trapping and creeping.
Elara constantly improves the rip with unique new features
Here are a few exmaples
screen caching
Pre-calculating screens and reusing them not only makes a RIP much faster but also offers new ways of reducing Moiré.
blue screening
A unique screening technology based on Blue noise in various sorts offers extra detail and the FM look and feel specifically for newspaperprinters using Thermal CtP imagers.
RDF (Rendered data format)
Elara splits up the rendering (turning the PDF into a bitmap) and Rastering (making four tiffs from the bitmap using raster technology). This enables faster processing and individual Tiffs for each CtP or Press.
auto repair
PDF’s that contain repairable issues like lo-res images or RGB-images will be automatically repaired where possible.
Advanced ink saving
The Elara RIP is equipped with a multilevel ink-optimiser. Supporting UCR/CGR, ICC-Devicelink profile optimisation and grey-axis multi-profile optimisation to bring the perfect balance between optical quality and ik usage. Half-tone screening is included using the Leopard-screening methode utilising the dot-gain effect to reach even higher levels of ink saving.
don’t touch important colors
To guarantee that your corporate colours remain untouched the Elara RIP allows for them to be excluded from ink-saving. This is just an example of the many custom-settings the Elara RIP offers to tune it’s behaviour to your exact needs.
