Generalities

Display

The file display is one of the strong point of the Caldera Graphics technology. The display is multi-view and calibrated and offers a super quick zoom.
It has to be seen to be believed !

Support of raster files

A maximum openness for an easy file management!
Support of the most common raster files in RGB, CMYK, gray levels in 1, 8, 16 bits per colour component.
This function of files management also allows the support of the alpha-channel and the extra-plans for the reading and writing of the Kodak PhotoCD files (Base/64 to 1024Base).

RIP PS & PDF

Comfort and speed :
Caldera Graphics creates a low resolution previsualisation of the file content (RGB or CMYK)for the preparation of the tasks.

Image processing

Image processing and colorimetrical modifications can be made very easily. Powerful tools allow to make precise colour corrections without any specific knowledge in colorimetrical sciences.

ICC Calibration

ICColor: the colour calibration motor develloped by Caldera Graphics follows the latest technical evolutions in the field of colour calibration.
Each peripheral of the graphic chain (scanner, screen) and each paper/ink combination may be characterized by an ICC profile allowing the corrections of the deteriorations bread by the digital datas. It allows to detect and extract profiles integrated in the files and offers the possibility to select a different profile for each entity (raster or vectorial, RGB, CMYK, gray levels...).
The ICC motor allows to manage the changes of color spaces of an image, displays the gamuts of the screen, printer and scanner, as well as the gamuts of the simulated printer. It allows a soft proofing on the screen or at the moment of the print.
This system also offers a profile-library, with a calibrated display, in order to manage the tasks in the best conditions possible.

Printing

Media of all constructors are available at the installation but the user still has the possibility to add a new one, to manage the position of the image on the pages, to choose the printing resolution.
When it comes to colour calibration, the user can also determine the management of the linearisation of the printer, create ink curves or establish a connection with a densitometer or simply use the ICC profiles installed in standard and that offer an optimum result.


Printing spooler

The management of the waiting tasks is a key function of any production system. The operator can have a look at all the printers on the list of the tasks going on, the tasks that have been ended and the ones pending.
Moreover, the CostProof function allows to calculate the cost of a printing task before having started it!

Cost Management

The Cost Proof allows to automatically calculate the cost of a printing task, on any printer. The user only needs to send the image and the software calculates the cost bread by the inks and the paper used. The strength of the Cost Proof is to calculate it before the printing.

VisualUser

The VisualUser application is installed on a single machine but can be used from several workstations. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows the user to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures (MAC, PC, Unix workstations...).
Applied to Caldera Graphics software packages, it now possible to set-up at a very affordable price additionnal user workstations. VisualUser is especially interresting for any user having a package including the composition/tiling module (such as VisualRip+ & ReproShop).
In is available in option in all Caldera packages and freely in the CopySHOP and GrandRIP suites.

This solution is available as an option for all our software solutions.
Caldera Graphics is the firt RIP editor in the world to offer such a functionnality at such a low price. For the user, it represents a great opportunity in terms of business and development.
