With all your favorite applications and new drivers available, now’s the time to upgrade for a whole new Caldera printing experience.
An overview of the V13 changes
There’s lots to appreciate in this new version – which, as always, has been developed to enhance the user experience by providing intuitive functionality for faster and more cost-effective printing.
Print&Cut Mirror
For dye sublimation and backlit printing, this new feature will save up to 20% of prepress time by allowing you to mirror print and cut data directly in the RIP.
Tile Order
You can now adapt the order in which you print tiles to achieve significant onsite time savings during large tiling jobs, blueback and building wrapping.
CalderaJobs – Detailed View
Save time by managing a clean view of your past jobs while keeping track of production with a new, faster search engine and detailed job view.
Custom Annotations
This allows users to customise the information they include in annotations rather than the legacy Caldera standard or detailed information, saving space on media and allowing for circumstances when you can’t use a barcode or QRcode reader.
Alpha-to-Spot
Save up to 60 percent of prepress time by automatically converting transparent backgrounds behind the image to spot channels.
Adobe Textile Designer Integration
Gives you the ability to design with confidence and print with accuracy, using a single streamlined process for accurate textile print production. You’ll be assured accurate pattern repeatability, with correct and consistent color management across all devices.
