Info
- All users: Some configurations are run in the background during the installation, which may seem relatively slow (especially on virtual machines). When the installation finishes, you will be asked to reboot: Please do not force the reboot yourself, as you may end up with an incomplete installation.
- MacOS Ventura users: If an XQuartz update message appears after the CalderaRIP installation, please do not upgrade since the latest versions of this application present compatibility issues. If have upgraded already, then follow the instructions in this article to downgrade.

Version 17.2.0
Modules
|
Improved
|
Compose: Now the bleed set in the Compose module is automatically activated and respected in the Print module when the composite file is submitted to it. LimitationThis improvement is only suitable for manual use and not for automatic compose in a workflow. |
||||||
|
Improved
|
HotFolders / Nexio: A new algorithm for cut/barcode ID generation was implemented to avoid duplicates when many files are being processed. In this way, the user is less likely to see different jobs under the same cut/barcode ID (as each job will have its own ID). | ||||||
|
Improved
|
User Experience: From the corresponding icon in the Page Setup Preview, it is now possible to know which option is selected in the Print&Cut Mirror feature:

|
Deprecated
|
KeyManager: Starting with this version, the KeyManager module is deprecated. InfoKeyManager is a legacy module for managing CalderaRIP licenses manually. Soon, the module will be retired. We recommend that you download CalderaDock, the toolbox that manages CalderaRIP, or any other Caldera product licenses in an intuitive and automated way since its version 2.0 (November 2022).

|
Improved
|
DG DIMENSE Dimensor S: Updated the name of the "S" driver, to align it with the new name of the company that manufactures these printers. Good to knowDG DIMENSE was established in 2023, as a joint venture between Roland DG and VEIKA (hence the name of the former drivers). |

Cutter and Trimmer drivers
|
Improved
|
Summa GoProduce: A new algorithm for cut/barcode ID generation was implemented to avoid duplicates when many files are being processed. In this way, the user is less likely to see different jobs under the same cut/barcode ID (as each job will have its own ID). InfoThe previous can be seen when files are processed with HotFolders or Nexio. |
|
Improved
|
Summa S2: Three new fields were added to the Tool Configuration window, line type and custom dash (up or down), so you can further customize your cutting jobs: |
|
Fixed
|
Summa S3 Postnet: Fixed the default values of the "Sheet off" function that previously caused cutting to start above the barcode of the next job. With this fix, the driver now has more accurate barcode detection. |
|
Fixed
|
Zund Cut Center (ZCC): Fixed a connection incompatibility that caused devices using the ZCC 2.7 controller not to work with CalderaRIP since its version 17. Good to knowThe above issue and fix only apply to the ZCC driver (does not apply to ZCC3 or ZCC4). |
