HP announces that software manufacturer Caldera’s V11 RIP suite has passed the variety of print tests needed to achieve certification for use with the HP Latex 500 series of wide-format printers.

The announcement is designed to reassure users that, as an approved vendor, all components of Caldera V11 RIP will be compatible with HP hardware from its 500 product line, including the recently added Latex 560 and Latex 570.

The HP Latex 560/570 RIP Certification Program tests RIP software in a controlled environment over a number of specified print tests, involving a selection of TIF, JPEG, EPS, PDF and PNG image files. The certification applies to the whole V11 suite, which includes GrandRIP+, VisualRIP+, TextilePRO and many others. The V11 software has been proven to produce what’s shown on screen accurately, and it will also report back system errors and print issues for timely resolution.
