PRE-PRODUCTION TOOLS

• Compatibility with a multitude of vector and raster formats such as bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, ping, tif, tiff, psd, svg, ps, tmp, eps, ai, pdf
• Image editing via GIMP, a free software similar to Photoshop, optimised for comfortable interaction with the RIP without leaving the program
• Creation of patterns from images to fully print customisation areas
• Manual or automatic distribution of designs on the same page with the ability to copy the same design for a customisation run. Generates design copies in matrix mode using rows and columns to fill the film area
• Automatic nesting of different designs on the film. Distributes images intelligently optimising space
• Super Size Image: increases image resolution to prevent pixelation in non-vector images
• Application of effects for vintage finishes or frame addition

COLOUR AND INK MANAGEMENT TOOLS

• Quick adjustments for transparency, contrast, brightness, and saturation
• Halftone design to reduce ink usage
• Knockmeblackout: configuration of designs to be printed on black garments. Removes black areas from the design, thus not printing the white layer and subsequently a black layer, saving ink
• Knockmecolorout: allows selection and removal of up to 4 colours from the design with a simple click
• Control of white and colour ink flow to optimise consumption and calculate printing cost
