GrandPRINT is an integrated desktop solution to drive grand format printers. Based on an architecture designed to manage very large files, GrandPRINT brings the appropriate answer to the productivity constraints of visual communication specialists (outdoor and sign).

GrandRIP is a client/server solution for large format color productions. It is multi-task and multi-peripheral and contains a PS and PDF RIP in standard.

GrandRIP+ allows tiling features as well as spot colors management for a perfect restitution on any output peripheral. GrandRIP and GrandRIP+ allow task automation with workflow and hotfolders.

Caldera Graphics has also developped an exclusive package for sign : SignMark. This tool allows to create marks on the posters for grommets positioning and margin visualization. Therefore, the GrandRIP range is very useful for outdoor and sign.

Major manufacturers are supported: Gandinnovations, Vutek, Luescher, Nur, Scitex, Zund... The combination of the Caldera Graphics technology allied to the SCITEX printing system offers quality and productivity, whatever the environment. Learn more under http://www.caldera.fr/.
