PITSTOP PRO VS RIP PDF
Optimisation reduces the size of the PDF file by removing unnecessary data in the file such as that outside the bounding box of an image or outside trim boxes, as well as resampling images to fit within the parameters set in the pre-flight profile. Vanmaele adds that even within firms that are using products based on the latest versions of Adobe’s PDF Print Engine and Global Graphics’ Harlequin RIP, for the sake of consistency they want to flatten files earlier in the workflow. By flattening in PitStop Server, you can ensure consistency and it also has the benefit of cutting ripping times." "Also, if you are outputting the same file via different RIPs, you can get different outcomes (if you don’t flatten transparency earlier in the workflow). "A lot of companies don’t have the latest RIPs in their workflow, which can result in problems when it comes to handling transparency in supplied PDF files," says PitStop product manager Leen Vanmaele. In PitStop Server the additional features include transparency flattening at the pre-flight stage and PDF optimisation. PitStop Pro is used on the desktop in a more interactive fashion by the operator, which makes sense if you need to create or check work for different print processes, applications or customers where each file may need different parameters for its final output.Īside from the previously mentioned tidying up of persistent niggles, the focus in PitStop Pro is on ease of use, and in particular the handling of colour. The difference between the two packages is – as the name suggests – that PitStop Server is designed to run centrally and automatically, allowing large volumes of files to be consistently processed without user intervention.
It’s often small issues that are commonly requested and this helps a huge band of customers." "We chose the 40 areas for improvement to ensure there was something for everyone from the most advanced to the most basic users and it goes a long way to dealing with their frustrations.
