New Fujifilm Acuity Ultra R2 Series Driver for CalderaRIP Software

French printing software company Caldera has announced the support of the Fujifilm Acuity Ultra R2 Series for CalderaRIP. The new driver expands the software’s long list of supported peripherals for wide-format production.    

Fujifilm’s Acuity Ultra R2 Series of roll-to-roll super wide inkjet printers combines power, reliability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness to suit a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. Designed for super wide format printing, it can print up to 5 meters wide, and comes with industrial printheads with a 3.5 picoliter drop size and special LED UV inks to ensure consistent, high-quality printing. It also embeds a range of other features— a water-cooled vacuum table to avoid shrinkage and wrinkling on heat-sensitive substrates and a substrate detector and media sensors to ensure high-quality results at all times.  

The CalderaRIP software is an excellent choice to get the most out of your Fujifilm super-wide format printer investment. Fully scalable, it rises to users’ industrial production needs to help save time and media while delivering excellent results. The market-leading solution supports more than 1600 large-format printers and cutters from significant manufacturers to drive your production fleet with just one license and the same user interface.  

For colour accuracy, the CalderaRIP embeds premium components to ensure perfect results. Also, the latest version of the powerful Adobe PDF Print Engine provides a reliable reproduction of designs on any surface. At the same time, the X-Rite i1Prism Profiler manages ICC profiling to ensure smooth gradients and colour consistency across production. 

The Caldera embeds a host of sophisticated features to help industrial printers increase profitability:  

• The TrueShape Nesting algorithm to create optimised layouts to reduce media waste
• The Tiling+ module to help produce complex, large-format projects  
• Automated job submission with SmartImport to reduce manual errors  

Caldera believes that saving valuable production time starts at the prepress stage, during which all errors can be prevented to ensure a streamlined workflow. The PrimeCenter was developed to assist digital printers in optimizing file preparation for digital printing and cutting. It integrates seamlessly with CalderaRIP to bridge the gap between prepress and production. Use Caldera’s ecosystem to scale up production, cut down manual errors and media waste, and increase profit.
