CutServer & GrandCutServer
Using several flatbed cutters from different brands? GrandCutServer streamlines and unifies your print-to-cut workflows to improve your printing accuracy and deliver impeccable results.
There’s no need to have another software to manage your cutting operations— CalderaRIP embeds features and modules designed to help you streamline your Print & Cut operations from one central interface. CutServer et GrandCutServer effectively manage cut contours, cutting marks and positioning marks to enhance accuracy while minimizing media waste.
CutServer and GrandCutServer are optional cut modules designed to streamline and unify the print-to-cut workflows of print shops using several cutting devices in their daily operations. Compatible with all the industry-leading cutting devices and controllers on the market, both CutServer and GrandCutServer generate machine-specific files for each job to ensure the most accurate cutting possible.
CutServer is recommended for roll cutters, while GrandCutServer is recommended for bigger flatbed cutters.

CostProof
Improve your cost management
Need to measure how profitable your production really is?
CostProof is an optional module for CalderaRIP helping you estimate job-related costs before the printing stage, based on similar jobs printed in the past or based on the ripped data of your jobs. Precise cost estimations allow you to deliver more accurate quotes and efficiently manage your production costs. In addition, these data can be exported and analyzed to improve profitability.
Ink and media consumption can be measured directly from the CostProof interface (in CalderaRIP’s Spooler) to help you optimize your media usage, while other costs (such as labor costs or manufacturing costs) can be analyzed from the CostView interface. Moreover, the CostEstimation module can also be used to measure your Co2 consumption, so that you can work toward a more sustainable, eco-friendly printing production.
Benefits of CostProof:
Measure all your production-related costs
Measure ink and media consumption in CostProof (within the Spooler interface), and other costs in the CostView interface.
Stay competitive
Having precise cost estimations allows you to deliver more accurate quotes, efficiently manage your production costs, and build a price policy based on data.
Analyze your data
Export and analyze the compiled data to find areas of improvements and make your production more profitable.
Make your production more sustainable
Measure your Co2 consumption and work toward an eco-friendly, sustainable production model.
Revamped Hotfolders
Looking for a specific file in your hotfolders? Use the new search bar to easily find any ready-to-print file in seconds.
Hotfolder Processing Order
Choose between a variety of job processing algorithms (fastest, preserve the input order, numeric or alphanumeric) for more flexibility and to deliver all your jobs on time.
Mark Images as Done
Printed jobs are now marked as done in the ImageBar to quickly see which images are left to print.
QuickPrint auto-naming
