Digital Print Innovations Ltd (DPI) has announced its appointment as an approved supplier for Wasatch, adding to its growing portfolio of quality wide and super wide format print and colour management equipment.  DPI is also the approved UK supplier of high end flatbed UV printers from Virtu, Jetrix and Novus and is an expert in colour management, traditionally specialising in Onyx RIPs to drive recommended printers.

Stewart Bell, MD of DPI explains where the Wasatch RIP fits in to their product line: “We were approached by Wasatch to look at their RIP and test it out at our new Digital Print Innovation Centre in Derby, which we did and were really pleased with the results. We tested it on some of the smaller printers we sell including the new Mutoh Valuejets and Seiko printers and found it to be an excellent RIP that could quickly and easily handle everything we threw at it under test conditions. It offers a value solution to our customers that need a RIP but don’t need all the bells and whistles and so therefore don’t need to pay an arm and a leg to get the job done. The modular aspect of the Wasatch RIP however means that as the customer grows, they can add on new modules to extend their capabilities in line with their business strategy.”

The Wasatch SoftRIP has drivers for almost every brand of wide format printer including HP, Canon, Epson, Seiko, Mutoh, Virtu, Jetrix and many many more. It differs from most other expensive packages as it has a modular format – you purchase the basic RIP and then add only the modules you need. It’s simple and uncomplicated with a very user-friendly interface. Specialist modules include Contour Cutting and Textile Print.

Phil Pirie of Wasatch comments, “DPI brings to the market a very unique model in terms of wide format reseller. They bring a fresh approach to selling wide format and super wide format print equipment in opening their Digital Print Innovation Centre for printers and signmakers to properly test their files and jobs prior to making a new investment. They are renowned in the UK for their colour management expertise so we’re delighted to appoint them as an approved supplier for the Wasatch SoftRIP.”
