Drivers history

  • CalderaRIP V17.3:
    • All drivers: A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for almost all cutting 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.
  • CalderaRIP V9.10:
    • Added support for Ethernet connections. Select "RawIP" as the connection type and enter the IP address. 
    • When cutting small images with only four corner registration marks, the driver now scans all four marks instead of only three. 
    • The driver now checks the cutter status before sending data, preventing the cutting process from starting if a registration mark scan error occurs or if no media is loaded. 
    • The VisualCut interface no longer needs to be restarted if the cutter is restarted or if an error occurs. 
    • The driver now automatically updates certain critical cutter parameters, such as the command mode (GPGL) and the step size, according to the values defined in the VisualCut settings.
  • CalderaRIP V7.55:
    • The cutting plotter has been 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.
