Pre-RIP: Everything Before the Raster

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A prepress workflow project for measuring incoming files, rejecting low-resolution work, nesting pieces, and carrying production data alongside the sheet.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The project treats pre-RIP work as a measurable production layer rather than a vague prepress step. Its example packs 24 order lines and 132 transfers into 21 sheets at 77% mean coverage, with zero overlaps, while a QR code and two readable lines are intended to remain with each cut piece. White-mask generation for a second spot-channel layer is explicitly identified as planned rather than available.
