The Multi-Purpose RIP

Xitron, for example, has been giving high emphasis to its Navigator Harlequin RIP, XiFlow workflow, and Xenith Extreme Adobe RIP—all of which introduced new functionalities at drupa earlier this year. These new products all include JDF functionality.

Key enhancements of Xitron Navigator RIP 6.4 include the JDF support and preflight checker. JDF support will allow handling of JDF-compatible files from other applications and devices through the RIP. The Preflight Checker allows an operator to verify that PDFs being sent to the RIP are certified PDFs.
