The CIP3 RIP-Kit includes a new RTI USB dongle for outputting CIP3 files.
The CIP3 Plugin does not include a dongle. If you are purchasing a new RTI Harlequin RIP you will receive a new dongle and can add this plugin to the new dongle. If you already have the RTI Harlequin RIP you can add this option to your existing dongle.
Windows Version runs on Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista or Windows 7.
Macintosh Version runs on Macintosh OS 10.4 or 10.5.
If you are planning to print from both Windows and Macintosh systems, RTI recommends the Windows version.

Why do you need CIP3?
Time and material can be wasted at the start of each press run while waiting for a quality sheet to print. Presetting your presses is one of the most important aspects of a prepress workflow. CIP3 saves wasted time by analyzing the same data used for printing plates and then shares that information with the press control system. The software automatically includes press-specific ink key settings in a RIPped file. This data is then provided to the press as a PPF file (Print Production Format file). When the PPF file is read by a CIP3 job card reader or LAN connection on the press, it provides instructions for automatically setting ink fountains on press. It saves the press operator time, minimizes errors and reduces waste. PPF files may contain any or all of the following items relating to the front and/or back of fully imposed press sheets:
• Inking data for the press which allow for the automatic setting of ink fountains on press.
• Administrative data such as job name, application name, copyrights.
• Preview images for color separation.
• Plate size and mounting position in relation to the press.
• Separations required for the job.
• Positions and colors of test strips allowing automatic setting of closed loop adjustments on press.
• Positions of registration marks allowing automatic setting of registration test meters on press.
• Positions of fold and cut data allowing preliminary setup of post press operations to be handled automatically.
Output to any of the following supported CIP3 readers:
• Heidelberg CPC32
• MAN Roland PPI2
• Graphics Microsystems, Inc. CIP3 reader
• Heidelberg Web PrePress Gateway
• Eltromat/KBA

What if my press console cannot accept a CIP3 file or does not have a network connection?
For presses that do not have the ability to accept a PPF (CIP3/CIP4) file directly, the InkScript software can generate ink key settings in a PDF file, print out ink key settings to a compatible laser printer or preview ink key settings on a computer screen near the press console. The software works with almost any offset or web press because users can customize the output size and ink key range to match their specific press. The software not only provides press operators with an accurate picture of the ink coverage and ink key settings to preset the press manually, but can also output a PPF file which can also be used with presses that have LAN connections and CIP3 card readers (card reader and software sold separately). The PDF file includes administrative data such as the job name, date, ink key settings, press name and preview of the job.
InkScript runs on Windows 2000, 2003 or XP Professional (32 bit editions).
Call (941) 925-1303 or email sales@rti-rips.com for more information on this software.
