UK-based wide-format printing equipment supplier Digital Print Innovations (DPI) has been appointed distributor for Wasatch RIPs, it has been announced.

DPI explains that the Wasatch SoftRIP product has drivers for wide-format printers from HP, Mutoh, Canon, Epson and Seiko and the Virtu and Jetrix ranges, and has a modular format which allows users to only add the modules they need to the basic RIP.

"Wasatch SoftRIP offers a good-value solution to our customers that need a RIP. They also get all the bells and whistles without having to pay an arm and a leg to get the job done," says Stewart Bell, managing director of DPI.

"The modular aspect of the Wasatch RIP however means that as the customer grows, they can also easily add any of the optional features such as cutting, variable data and support for other manufacturers' printers as their capabilities grow in line with their business strategy. The great thing about this RIP is that there is no penalty for adding or upgrading at a later stage."

DPI tested the product at its recently opened Digital Print Innovation Centre in Derby, Bell adds.
