Caldera, the award winning RIP software editor leader in large-format imaging and production workflow, is launching the new version 8.01 of its range of RIP products which includes many new features and devices. The company is now shipping a new, Debian-based, Linux distribution, which replaces Kubuntu 8.04. This distribution is highly customized for fitting the Caldera requirements, and also includes a very easy installation procedure.
The choice of Debian, which is considered by many as the most stable and flexible distribution, will allow more reactivity in terms of hardware support. The new V 8.01 version has integrated Pantone Plus, an upgrade to the classical PANTONE Color System, released recently by PANTONE. In Caldera, it is implemented with 5 new color files available in the Spot Color editor: PANTONE+ Solid Coated, PANTONE + Solid Uncoated, PANTONE+ Premium Metallics Coated, PANTONE+ Pastels+Neons Coated and PANTONE+ Pastels+Neons Uncoated.
