The Derby-based business has complemented its range of wide and super wide-format printers from manufacturers such as Virtu, Jetrix and Novus with the Wasatch SoftRip portfolio.

Stewart Bell, managing director of DPI said: "We were approached by Wasatch to look at their RIP and test it out at our new Digital Print Innovation Centre in Derby, which we did and were really pleased with the results.

"We tested it on some of the smaller printers we sell including the new Mutoh ValueJets and Seiko printers and found it to be an excellent RIP that could quickly and easily handle everything we threw at it under test conditions."

The Wasatch SoftRIP offers a modular format that enables customers to build a bespoke product that can include specialist modules such as contour cutting and textile print.

According to DPI, it also has drivers for a large range of wide format printer brands that include HP, Canon, Epson, Seiko, Mutoh, Virtu and Jetrix.

Phil Pirie, European director at Wasatch added: "DPI bring a fresh approach to selling wide format and super wide format print equipment.

"They are renowned in the UK for their colour management expertise so we’re delighted to appoint them as an approved supplier for the Wasatch SoftRip."
