France-based RIP and workflow software developer Caldera announces a partnership with China-based JHF, a manufacturer of wide-format production devices for textile and display.

Caldera’s products, GrandRIP+ and TextilePro, will be recommended for sale throughout JHF’s sales channels worldwide, the companies say.

Caldera says the partnership is in keeping with its strategy of forming relationships with what it calls “best-in-class” fellow manufacturers.

“JHF has been producing digital inkjet printers since 1999, with domestic sales rising substantially in the last few years,” Caldera says in its announcement. “Proactive in developing new print technology and providing regular updates to its platforms, JHF demonstrates considerable commitment to research and development, to quality assurance and to achieving the standards demanded by printers on the world stage.”

GrandRIP+ will be recommended with JHF’s R7000Pro and R3700Pro lines, the company’s UV-curable wide-format printers in 3.2-meter (11 1/2’) and 5-meter (16 1/2’) sizes, respectively. As with all JHF products, these machines are within the scope of the company’s CE Certification and ISO 9001 international quality standard—as are its new textile market entrants: the JHF T3000 soft signage printer and P30 industrial textile engine. Both will be made available with Caldera’s TextilePro software from now on.
