Accurate color, smart nesting and DTF-ready halftone effects
SoftRIP 8 calculates halftones, ink usage, color conversions and print resolutions to guarantee accurate, stable output. The advanced ICC color management covers RGB, CMYK and multi-channel devices with reliable legacy color matching, and version 8 adds the import of color curves from .csv files with precision to one part in 10,000 — a feature requested by color experts — plus the Special Colors Swatchbook for spot color replacement.
Paper and film are expensive: Shape Nesting arranges multiple designs to maximise every inch of media. For garment decorators, the halftone effects engine adds "pinhole" or "break line" patterns to DTF and DTG prints, letting garments breathe and stretch without cracking inside the design — adjustable to produce thousands of different effects, from a retro look to high-lpi pinholes for improved hand feel and durability. Add white ink handling, queue management, ink usage preview and workflow automation, and SoftRIP 8 covers your entire production from file to finished print.
