Driver history
-
CalderaRIP V17.3.1:
- A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for this cutter driver. 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.

CalderaRIP V17.3:
- Cutters supported since this version.
Installation
Info
In the past, different cutting devices required separate licenses: CutServer for roll-to-roll cutters, GrandCut (A or B) for flatbed cutters, and a cut option for trimmers. This resulted in different installation methods depending on the device.
Today, annual subscribers and perpetual license holders with CalderaCare can use any CalderaRIP‑supported cutting device without an additional license.
