How accurate is FutureRIP SE?
Very. After all that's what a RIP is all about. We've also allowed for artwork where color accuracy isn't all that important but obtaining brilliant and vibrant colors are - We let you get the best out of your printer no matter what the application or circumstance with ColorTUNE. The program is packed with advanced features and tools for those who need them or it's as easy to use as a load the artwork and press 'RIP Now' program.

Will FutureRIP work with my printer?
FutureRIP works with all the popular brands of printers such as Canon, DGI, Encad, Epson, HP, Mutoh and Roland etc. and we are continuously adding new makes and models to the list. If you can't see your printer listed, don't be concerned as it's probably supported, and if not - get in touch with us and we'll get straight to work on it. Note, some brands use proprietary emulation codes that would take years for us to reverse engineer (basically they want you to use their high-priced software). So if you're in the market for a Large Format Printer - talk to us first before making your decision for some straight advice.

How do I get my artwork into FutureRIP SE?
Easy! FutureRIP comes with FuturePRINT... This utility captures your artwork from most third party programs like CorelDRAW™ and Photoshop™ and then loads the artwork straight into FutureRIP. The program also loads in over 30 image formats like BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF and TGA along with EMF Layers which can include vectors such as fonts and clipart.

Can FutureRIP SE do Contour Cutting?
Absolutely! In fact this is one of FutureRIP's greatest strengths. If you have a printer/cutter, you can use a combination of the program's scanning and import facilities to layout your work and then print it out and then cut a contour around it. FutureRIP also has a fantastic Auto-Trace feature - you'll be impressed.

Can FutureRIP SE Target Spot Colors?
Yes. FutureRIP allows you to select a color in any given artwork and then choose what color you'd like the program to print the color out as. You can even target color charts like Pantone™, Toyo™, Trumatch™ and Munsell™ along with the actual ink, ribbon or toner colors from your printer for the most saturated colors possible. 

As an added bonus you can also print out FutureRIP Color Charts, that allow you to specify any color in the chart and then know that whenever targeting that color, that's exactly the color you'll get - every time without fail. Imagine knowing for sure what colors will print out - sure beats guesswork.
