Navigator Harlequin RIP Features

Low Cost of Ownership

Prolong the life of your expensive CtP systems by updating only the element that requires attention; the software! Productive RIP and workflow modules are the least expensive components to replace, keeping your system current with modern design and layout applications like CS Cloud.

Scalable

One size does not fit all. Navigator allows you to build a prepress system suiting your needs, not the wishes of your plate or output device vendor. From in-RIP trapping to ink key presetting, pre-flighting to load-balancing, Navigator’s modular design ensures that you pay only for the features that make sense for you.

Output to Hundreds of Devices

Xitron built its reputation as an alternative to proprietary systems. If you want to keep your current output device while improving your prepress production, Xitron probably has the answer. Whether you are running offset, flexo, digital, commercial, packaging, labels, or dozens of other applications, most major markets and methods are covered.

Intelligent Job Tracking and Search

Navigator conforms to your environment. Whatever your naming convention; ticket number, customer, job, date, or combination of several key fields, Navigator’s intelligent search feature works across all workflows in real time. You won’t waste a moment locating jobs in the system.

A Preview That Doesn’t Stop Production

View RIPed data from any workstation . . .without halting the RIP and stifling production. Choose from multiple magnifications, single plates or combos, spot colors, and traps down to the pixel level. Verify the data before it makes its way to the plate and costs you money.

Interpretive Accuracy

New PDF functionality can cause problems for older RIPs. Native PDF processing means features like transparency are handled cleanly and correctly, greatly reducing interpretation errors while saving you time and money.
