Understanding Cutting Driver Categories in CalderaRIP

This article explains how to choose the correct cutting driver in CalderaRIP for roll-to-roll or flatbed cutters, and trimmers, to ensure timely production.

  Good to know

The cutters shown below are grouped by type for ease of reference and to highlight differences in installation. Tables reflect status as of November 2025. Consult the Supported Devices page for real-time updates.

 

Context

Historically, roll-to-roll cutters required a CutServer license, flatbeds required a GrandCut license (divided by price into A or B), and trimmers required a cut option. 

Because each cutter type used a different license model, and due to how CalderaRIP has evolved over time, installation methods now differ by device type.

Since November 2025, annual subscribers and perpetual-license holders with CalderaCare may use any cutting devices supported by CalderaRIP without a separate license. For more information, partners and resellers should consult the Partners Portal; end users can find details on our website.

  Info

The GrandCut A category was introduced in CalderaRIP V16. However, this category did not apply to drivers used with older versions of CalderaRIP (15, 14 and earlier). If you needed a Summa F driver with CalderaRIP V16, for example, you could benefit from a GrandCut A licence. However, if you needed a Summa F driver with CalderaRIP V15 or an earlier version, you would have needed a standard GrandCut licence.
