Navigator Harlequin RIP Features
Low Cost of Ownership
Extend the life of your CtP systems by updating only the necessary software. These productive RIP and workflow modules are the most cost-effective components to replace, ensuring compatibility with modern applications like CS Cloud.
Scalable Solutions
Navigator allows you to create a customized prepress system tailored to your needs, not dictated by your output device vendor. From in-RIP trapping to load-balancing, pay only for the features you require.
Output to Hundreds of Devices
Xitron offers a strong alternative to proprietary systems. Whether working with offset, flexo, digital, or packaging applications, Xitron provides solutions for a wide range of output devices.
Intelligent Job Tracking and Search
Navigator adapts to your naming conventions—ticket number, customer, or date—enabling real-time job searches across workflows, so you can locate jobs efficiently.
Seamless Previews
View RIPed data from any workstation without disrupting production. Check magnifications, spot colors, and traps down to the pixel level, verifying data before it reaches the plate.
Enhanced Interpretive Accuracy
New PDF functionality minimizes challenges for older RIPs. Native PDF processing ensures features like transparency are handled correctly, reducing errors and saving time and money.
PDF 2.0 Compatibility
Navigator is one of the first RIPs to support the PDF 2.0 specification, ensuring accurate interpretation of PDF 2.0 job files. Benefit from features like Page-Level Output Profiles, Black Point Compensation, and Spectrally Defined Spot Color values.
Network-Wide Access
Client/Server architecture enables job access from anywhere, not just at the output device. Cross-platform compatibility and administrative security provide operators with precise job control directly from their workstations.
