AccuRIP Emerald 2023 — Screen Printing RIP Software for Film Positives

AccuRIP Emerald 2023 is the benchmark RIP software for screen printing pre-press, developed by Freehand Graphics — a specialist in screen printing software and supplies for over 40 years. It converts colour separations into high-density film positives directly from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW or Separation Studio NXT, using a compatible Epson or Canon inkjet printer as the output device.

The 2023 edition introduces ST vs ABI ink flow toggle for precise control over individual ink tanks or all channels simultaneously, an improved Proof Positive pixel-perfect preview, N-Up nesting to print multiple separations on a single film, and a redesigned Slide Out Tray for faster job queue management. Cloud-based activation via Freehand License Manager ensures 24/7 access and full protection against hardware failure. Compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
