  • Harlequin RIP Features & Benefits

    Easy to Configure
    If you have a mixed workflow and receive files in more than one format you don’t need to learn different tools for color management, trapping, transparency or screening when using the Harlequin RIP. The software gives you the ability to print across the network to the RIP through shared printers which means faster output times and less hassle trying to resave jobs into different applications.

    PostScript® Level 3
    Support for PostScript® Level 3 means compatibility with the latest design and printing applications.

    PDF v.1.7
    Support for PDF v.1.7, PDF/X-4, PDF/X-1a, JPEG2000, optional content, cross-reference streams, compressed object streams and 16-bit images.
    PDF v.1.7 Information

    XPS
    Support for XPS v.1.0 Documents with PrintTickets (DocumentPageRanges, PageBlendColorSpace, PageMediaSize and PageResolution).

    JDF
    Job Definition Format (JDF) is an XML-based file format that is becoming the industry standard for the definition of electronic job tickets in prepress workflows.
    JDF Information

    Supported File Types
    For users that are not printing to the RIP through a shared printer, the RIP or workflow can process the following file types directly or through a shared spoolfolder (drop folder):
    • PostScript 1, 2 and 3
    • PDF 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7
    • PDF/X-4, PDF/X-1a:2001 and PDF/X-3:2002
    • XPS
    • WDP HD Photos
    • TIFF™ 6
    • PCL
    • JPEG, GIF, EPS, JBIG2
    • DCS and DCS 2
    • JDF

    Harlequin Precision Screening
    Every RTI Harlequin RIP includes Harlequin Precision Screening (HPS). When placing color separations on top of one another, the angles and frequencies at which those separations are produced should be calculated very accurately to eliminate moiré patterns. To reduce moiré patterning, HPS uses an adaptive screening technique that can adjust each halftone dot so that it is placed within one half pixel of its ideal location.

    Separations and Screening
    The RIP allows you to control and manage resolutions, line screens (frequency), screen angles and dot shapes.
    Separations and Screening Information

    Calibration Manager
    Calibrate your imagesetter, platesetter, proofer or printing press using the software's built-in calibration tool.
    Calibration Manager Information

    Advanced Media Saving
    Automatically gangs (nests) smaller jobs together saving you time and consumables.
    Advanced Media Saving Information

    Multi-threading
    The Harlequin RIP now takes advantage of hyperthreading, multi-core and multiple CPU architectures for faster processing times.

    Page Features
    Controls for Scaling, Crop Marks, Mirror Image (Reverse), Negative Image and Rotation.

    Preflight Profiles
    Enfocus PitStop 4.0 lib/v7 preflight profiles are included with the Harlequin RIP.
    Preflight Profiles Information

    Control Strip
    Included with every RIP and workflow is an overprint control strip for checking that proofs and prints made from files transmitted as PDF/X have rendered correctly.
    Control Strip Information

    Dot for Dot Preview
    Save time and materials with the built-in preview feature.
    Dot for Dot Preview Information

    PDF Raster Output
    Output electronic proofs for faster approvals.
    PDF Raster Output Information

    Advanced Font Support
    Extended font format support includes PostScript Type 0 (composite), Type 1, Type 3,Type 4 and fonts, as well as native processing of Type 32 and Type 42 True Type fonts.

    Font Emulation
    Ever had a rush job that was missing fonts? The Harlequin RIP includes a solution that when enabled will make a typographically acceptable match to missing fonts with no text overflow.
    Font Emulation Information

    RIP Options

    Supported Output Devices

    Platesetter & Imagesetter RIP-Kits include TIFF output capability and can be used with the following 1-bit or 8-bit TIFF catchers along with a wide variety of third party applications and workflows:
    • Agfa Print Drive or Agfa Open Connect
    • Creo Print Console
    • ECRM CTServer
    • Escher-Grad ImageSpool
    • EskoTIFF or Purup Direct TIFF Expose
    • Fuji Luxel Gateway

    • Heidelberg Prinect MetaShooter
    • Luscher Q2-Spooler

    • Presstek DiTools (not required with DI Press RIP-Kit)
    • RIPit ImagerQ or Xante ImagerQ
    • Screen TrueFlow Dot Tiff Controller (DTC) or Screen FlatRunner

    This RIP includes the ability to output a 1-bit or 8-bit TIFF file. The Harlequin RIP produces TIFF files which are compatible with TIFF 5.0, Classes B (bilevel), G (gray scale), and R (RGB color). CMYK color separations are also supported as defined in the published TIFF 6.0 specification. Users can also set the compression format for TIFF files being output from the RIP using one of the following compression formats: None, CCITT Huffman, CCITT Group 3 (CCITT G3, CCITT T.4), CCITT Group 4 (CCITT G4, CCITT T.6), LZW or Packbits. Convert XPS or PDF files to separated or composite TIFF files using the RTI Harlequin RIP. TIFF Output can often be used with a variety of platesetters, TIFF catchers or used to send pre-screened files to other RIPs or workflow systems. Most of the devices listed below are available with a TIFF catcher that allow them to accept a TIFF file from the Harlequin RIP. If you do not have a TIFF catcher or need to drive an imagesetter or platesetter directly please visit our Imagesetter & Platesetter RIP-Kits page.
