Sounds like techie wizardry, but it will save you a ton of money until you’ve got enough to buy some RIP software. So if you watch the video above I will show you how you can get your nearly print-ready vector artwork, truly ready to print by converting each color into separate monochrome bitmap files. Do it cheaply in Illustrator and Photoshop But for now, let’s learn how to print halftones without RIP software. I’m not going to get into exactly what RIP software is in this post. If you’re a newbie printer you probably don’t have that kind of cash lying around to spend on some software, which frankly, when you’re just starting out will only be used to print film with halftoned artwork and that’s it. The more popular programs like AccuRIP and Wasatch SoftRIP (for a milder, gentler, kinder RIP) can cost $600 and up to $2,000 with all the bells and whistles. Usually you can hit print from your art program, select your RIP software and halftone settings and out come some purty lookin’ films.īut it is expensive, man. RIP software is pretty important to the print shop workflow because it gives you outstanding control of your halftones, allows your wide format printer to handle large file sizes without locking up, and more importantly it saves you time.
