StudioRIP has been on the market for over 20 years and is used by thousands of prepress professionals worldwide.
StudioRIP can drive almost any offset CTP system, thanks to its support for standard 1-bit TIFF output and compatibility with Harlequin (i32) plugins.
Combining a modern, user-friendly interface with a comprehensive feature set and competitive pricing, StudioRIP offers a practical and efficient alternative to traditional offset workflows.
Integrated workflow
• PDF processing, trapping, screening, imposition, preview and output in a single system
• No external modules or separate applications required
• Consistent data handling across the entire workflow
Lightning-fast processing (from version 5)
• Highly optimized AVX2 assembly core for maximum performance
• Native 64-bit architecture with efficient memory handling
• Fully utilizes multi-core processors for parallel processing

Proofing
• Supports contone, halftone and raster proofing modes
• Accurate simulation of final print conditions
• Suitable for validation workflows using standard proofing printers and media
• Integrated support for Epson SpectroProofer for automated measurement
• Prints, measures and reports validation targets directly on the proof
Ink duct control
• Generates ink key presets for offset presses
• Reduces setup time and ink waste on press
• Compatible with standard CIP3/CIP4 workflows
Imposition
• Built-in imposition engine with flexible layout options
• Supports automatic and manual page arrangement
