Global Graphics Software has licensed the Harlequin Host Renderer to MUTOH in a contract spread over multiple years. The agreement includes licensing Global Graphics’ new Opal Advanced Inkjet Screens to provide high-quality half-tone screening specially developed for MUTOH’s inkjet printing technology. Now, the Harlequin Host Renderer is being integrated into VerteLith, MUTOH’s RIP software, and will be available to MUTOH customers via a download service – initially for UV printers, viz. VJ-1638UR/UH and XPJ-461/661UF and ultimately for all the major models sold, including the eco-solvent machines.
Additionally, while conventional RIP software mainly targets roll media, VerteLith is the new all-in-one RIP software covering most features required for roll media printing as well as integrating a jig layout tool to improve usability for UV flatbed printers. It saves a lot of time and effort by enabling auto-image positioning of the printing material on the flatbed table or auto-page layout on each individual jig slot. The jig layout tool is just one example of the new features being offered to improve customer’s efficiency and to develop new markets. With the Harlequin Host Renderer, MUTOH has experienced significantly improved RIP processing times for both PDF and PostScript files.
