CADlink Digital Factory v10 Print + Cut Production — RIP Software

Digital Factory CADlink v10 – Print + Cut Production Edition is a professional wide-format print-and-cut RIP software that unifies the entire print-and-cut workflow into a single, central production hub. It combines high-fidelity colour management with native in-RIP cutting technology — allowing users to manage print output and contour cutting from one platform, whether running a hybrid print-and-cut device or separate printer and cutter setups.

The Print + Cut Production Edition supports a single printer + single cutter configuration for entry-level print-and-cut shops, as well as multi-printer and multi-queue configurations for high-volume production environments. It can be run in fully automated mode for non-stop production or in manual mode for lower-volume or specialised jobs. Full contour cut path generation, job nesting, registration mark support and ICC colour management make it the complete solution for stickers, labels, vehicle graphics, signage and display production. Compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
