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 you have upgraded already, you can follow this article's instructions to downgrade.

Version 17.3.2
Modules
|
Fixed
|
User Experience: We fixed a bug that prevented the software from updating licenses by itself (without needing CalderaDock). |
July 2024
Version 17.3.1
|
Fixed
|
Caldera REST API: Correction of a bug in the CalderaRIP communication with the Caldera REST API, which did not allow to submit jobs to devices that have been recently renamed (and returned a "500 error"). |
Printer drivers
|
New
|
Roland VersaOBJECT MO-240: A new driver (CMYKGLW) has been developed for printers with that ink configuration. |
|
Fixed
|
Mimaki JV330 Series (4C and 8C drivers): Correction of a bug in WorkSpace and CalderaDock, which did not allow to view or download these drivers. |
Cutter and trimmer drivers
|
Improved
|
Liyu Platinum Q Cut and Mimaki CFX: A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration of these drivers. Activating this new field adds direction marks in the form of a triangle pointing to the bottom edge of the cut job, which significantly speeds up the operators' work when managing these files. | ||
|
Improved
|
Mimaki CJV300 (VisualCut driver): Now the driver supports intermediate marks in the left/right edges of the job. InfoThese new intermediate marks must be enabled in the Cutter Tools Configuration window, by setting a distance between marks and enabling the marks on left and right edges. |
||
|
Fixed
|
OptiSCOUT Connected: Fixed a bug in the driver code, which ignored the synchronization of methods with certain special characters (e.g. a dash "-"). Now methods with these special characters are not ignored. | ||
|
Fixed
|
Summa F Series (GoProduce driver): Correction of the file name/ID generation process, to avoid names with negative or incorrect values. | ||
|
Fixed
|
Summa OPOS Xtra: To improve the user experience, the left and right Barcodes have been disabled since they are ineffective with OPOS Xtra devices and may cause the marks to overlap if they are used. VisualCut drivers concerned:

|
User Experience: With the addition of the Workflow Editor tags, the sorting and management of workflows (visible from the ImageBar > Right click > Send To...) has been improved for productions with many workflows: |
|
Fixed
|
|
ImageBar (Filtering): Fixed an incorrect behavior when dragging and dropping filtered images from the ImageBar to the Compose module. Previously, that action ignored the ImageBar filter and added more or less of the selected images to the Compose module. |
|
Fixed
|
|
Tiling: Fixed incorrect behavior where the names of the generated tile files did not match the name of the print job (especially when there were more than 4 characters after a dot). |

Hotfolders: In addition to the "Preserve Input Order" option added in V17.2, we have added more processing order options: Info

Fixed
|
|
HP Latex (several models) and Stitch SX00: We increased the timeout of these drivers, from 1h30min to 3h, to avoid the error 61:09 that occurred when the driver timeout was reached. Drivers concerned:
|
|||
|
Fixed
|
|
Kornit Presto Max (White driver): An issue with ink consumption inaccuracies in the XML files of this driver has been fixed. Now, the driver accurately records white ink usage data in CostProof and the XML file, ensuring correct metrics for the printing process. |
|||
|
Fixed
|
Kyocera Forearth: Fixed this driver's output format, which previously had a slight mismatch. | ||||
|
Fixed

|
Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX (6c-and-special driver) and Mimaki UJF Mkll (UJF6042 driver): Fixed the "Can't open binary config [...]: Too many open files" error that appeared when the printer was offline for a long time. |
|||
|
Fixed
|
|
|
|||
|
Fixed
|
Misc GenericPRT2 (all drivers): A new "No lines order inversion" checkbox was added to the Printer tab of the Printer settings. Enabling this setting prevents the driver from generating the data in reversed order (which speeds up the RIP process, especially in remote environments). | ||||
|
Fixed
|
Mutoh XpertJet 1682SR (Pro and Prok) / 1642WR (Pro) and 1682WR: Fixed some parameters of the ink carriage speed that caused the interface to refresh slowly. | ||||
|
Fixed
|
SwissQprint Karibu/Kudu: It is no longer possible to use the multi-page settings available in the Main tab of Page Setup in combination with S&R (Step&Repeat). This is to avoid production issues due to incompatibilities with both tabs. |
