The firm also claimed that version 6 was the first large-format RIP to provide a Linux platform, meaning that all Windows, Mac OSX and Linux users could operate it.
We can create designs and transfer them over the network to servers, creating any number of queues, which can drive any number of printers, said managing director Roger Ward.
Previous versions were primarily targeted at single-user, one-printer environments. However, the latest can be upgraded to support multiple clients and multiple servers on a flexible network.
While still recognising the importance in the display market of an easy-to-use entry-level RIP, V6 can be upgraded either as business grows or to meet the demands of high productivity, said Ward.
Shiraz V6 costs from 895 and is available with drivers for all current large-format ink-jet printers.
