Color Transformed

The Color Transforms screen is your launching pad into SoftRIP's arsenal of color tools, calibration, and the profiling process. As you modify your color selections, the Color Transforms flowchart dynamically changes to reflect the processing workflow.

Top Quality Color

SoftRIP is widely known as the best RIP for achieving high quality color. Our award-winning Precision Stochastic Screens (PSS) Halftone Method achieves excellent color reproduction with perfectly smooth gradients.

Match Colors on the Spot

With SoftRIP, you get the most advanced spot color feature set available with any RIP. Create your own database of frequently used spot colors by specifying shades using RGB, CMYK, or L*A*B*.

Use Spot Color Capture to record a spot color with a handheld colorimeter. You can easily measure any color surface, from a swatchbook to a fabric sample. The CIE L*a*b* values that are captured go directly into the color database. This tool prevents spot color shifts from input profiles and rendering intents.

Profile–Free Spot Colors

Even if you aren't using color profiles made just for your print scenario, you can match spot colors perfectly with our the Color Atlas Generator. Use it to print a range of color swatches on your target media. Reproduce colors exactly by entering your hue's RGB values into SoftRIP. This tool is great when you are using a modified profile or a print scenario that makes profiling hard.

Know More Before You Print

Wasatch's gamut tools let you set customer expectations you know you can meet while reducing wasted ink and media. Simply click on a color to see it plotted against the gamut of your output profile. Use Profile View to explain color issues to customers and select profiles with desired gamut characteristics.

Match SWOP & Pop

SoftRIP lets you match spot colors and dial up the color on your raster images, even in the same file. Our input profile and correction curve tools let you manage color independently in four different input color spaces (RGB/CMYK, Vector/Raster).
