Version 3 of the company's emponymous RIP software, which was released last November, is compatible with PostScript Level 3 and PDF 1.8 and designed for high-performance imaging tasks.

Andy Hemmings, StudioRIP sales director, said it would be "challenging the big boys" at Print 09.

"Quality and price is what ticks peoples boxes and we offer both," he said. "In the current climate, businesses may not be able to afford to invest in new kit so it is more important than ever that the front end is up-to-date."

Hemmings added that the company would also be meeting a number of large corporations with a view to OEM agreements.

StudioRIP has experienced its fastest growth ever in 2009 since the tie-up with Marlow Graphics and the release of Version 3.

"We have been looking outside traditional markets and moving into countries as far afield as Peru and Singapore," said Hemmings.

Print 09 is due to take place on 11-16 September, in Chicago, US.
