DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Caldera, part of Dover Digital Printing and Dover (NYSE: DOV), is
pleased to announce the integration of the Adobe Textile Designer
plugin for Adobe Photoshop with version 12.1 of Caldera's
award-winning raster image processor ("RIP") software.
Adobe Textile Designer is a set of tools for fashion and décor
artists to streamline the design process and optimize for printing.
Integration with Caldera V12.1 ensures accurate pattern
repeatability, and correct and consistent color management through
the design-to-production lifecycle.
The integration workflow starts with the Caldera RIP software
extracting geometric information from the exported Adobe Photoshop
file, such as the drop type, to ensure that the correct settings
are applied for printing. Colorway information is extracted for
accurate color management – both spot channels and meta-data
specifying the colorant name are exported from Adobe Textile
Designer.
As Caldera V12.1 has advanced spot color management, each spot
channel is colorized according to the information provided by Adobe
Textile Designer. This allows for the use of embedded Pantone or
other color libraries in Caldera. Furthermore, each spot channel
can also be remapped to any LAB or output device colors using
static rules or dynamic output conditions, which also allows the
use of Caldera's color-book module to fine tune output results.
Sébastien Hanssens, Dover Digital Printing's Vice President of
Marketing, Operations and IT, shared, "Adobe Textile Designer
exported files can be perfectly integrated into a Caldera
automation environment using a simple hot folder process, or can be
pushed as part of a larger ecosystem using Caldera's Nexio
automation module, to streamline production. The combination of
these two cutting-edge products results in a completely integrated
process for textile designers to accurately translate their
Photoshop designs into printed textiles."
Working within Photoshop keeps every element editable until the
user is ready to send it to the printer. Patterns can be previewed,
separations defined, and colorways adjusted. Integration with
Caldera gives designers the confidence that their creations can be
printed in production with results that remain accurate and
consistent with the original design.
