Meteor Inkjet offers RIP for industrial inkjet partners

Meteor Inkjet, an independent supplier of electronics and software to drive industrial inkjet printheads, is enhancing its software portfolio with the integration of the Harlequin Host Renderer to provide high-speed printing of a variety of native file types including PDF and PostScript.

Developed by Global Graphics Software, the Harlequin RIP aims to meet the demands of all graphics markets including packaging, coding, books, transpromo, commercial print, labelling and décor. With this integrated RIP, formats such as PDF, PostScript, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, PDF/X and PDF/VT can be printed using any industrial inkjet printhead powered by Meteor electronics, the companies explain.

First used in a production system in 1988, today’s generation of Harlequin can be found in a range of digital presses including Canon, Delphax, HP Indigo, HP PageWide, Memjet, Roland and Durst. It is now available, fully integrated out-of-the-box, to all Meteor electronics customers.
