Navigator Options

Powerful and functional on its own, optional modules for the Navigator RIP can increase productivity and help to streamline the entire pre-press operation. In-RIP trapping with TrapPro ensures accurate, vector-based traps. Proofing plug-ins allow a single RIP to drive a high-resolution device and color-managed proofers. Simple Imposition provides automated in-RIP imposition for most 2-up applications.

CIP3 provides ink key data to press consoles, while RIP Manager builds on the functionality of the basic ROAM soft-proofing feature of Navigator by providing a preview of RIPed jobs on any desktop - without interfering in the RIP’s production.

Proofing Plug-ins

Navigator supports a wide variety of proofing options, including the most popular ink-jet proofers from Epson and HP. Adding a proofing plug-in to a Navigator RIP closes the color proofing loop, ensuring data integrity. The same RIP used for proofing processes the final output to film or plate.

TrapPro

Harlequin Dispersed Screening (HDS)
Harlequin’s Frequency Modulated Screening for Moiré free images

CIP3
Generate PPF (Print Production Format) files for presses capable of accepting digital ink-key data

TIFF/IT P-1 Input and Output
Allows Navigator to process/create TIFF/IT P-1 files

JDF ENABLER
Job Definition Format (JDF) is a comprehensive industry standard designed to enable “end-to-end” job ticket specifications. Eventually, JDF will allow different applications and systems to communicate fully and effectively as jobs pass from point to point in the prepress cycle, streamlining the entire process.

Xitron’s Navigator RIP is JDF capable, meaning Navigator 7.0 (and higher) users will be able to add optional JDF components as they are released
