Why Print Shops Choose It

Better Colour. Lower Costs.
Faster Workflows.

PrintFactory is not just a RIP — it is a complete workflow platform. Unlike modular competitors, every tool you need comes included from day one.

20%

Ink Saving

CMY optimisation increases black output and reduces ink volume — without any loss in image quality. A 20% ink saving adds up fast at production volumes.

1,500+

Device Profiles

PrintFactory drives over 1,500 printers and cutters — HP, Epson, Canon, Roland, Mimaki, Mutoh and more — through a single central RIP interface.

One

Central RIP

Replace a tangle of different RIP platforms with one central interface. Every printer and cutter in your shop, driven from a single workflow — no switching, no duplication.

All-In

No Modules

Every workflow tool — tiling, nesting, colour management, cut integration, PDF editing, automation — comes included. No extra licences, no hidden costs.

Editor — PDF, AI, PSD, EPS and more

Superior editing capabilities across all major file formats. Interfaces directly with job submission and drives any printer or cutter in your shop.

The industry's most complete tiling tool

Create tiles with overlaps, negative overlaps, define windows and doors, and specify multiple substrates — all from one interface for vehicle wrap and large-format jobs.

True Shape nesting and speed

Stack multiple jobs and sizes in any orientation. True Shape nesting, front-and-back printing — all within a single, easy-to-use interface.

Industrial cutter support

Drive any number of industrial cutters — Zünd, Kongsberg, Aristo, DYSS — with barcode and automatic register dot. Automatic link to Zünd CutCenter and ESKO iCut.

Superior colour management

Neutral grays, consistent colours across printers and substrates, day after day. The same print result from the first job to the ten-thousandth.

All finishing options, done in seconds

Grommets, bleeds, folds, pole pockets — any finishing requirement applied quickly from within PrintFactory without switching tools.

One file contains everything

Every job element — tiles, substrates, dielines, tooling — lives in one single comprehensive prepress file, no matter how complex the job becomes.

Distributed workflow and automation

Submit jobs from any workstation to any printer or cutter at any time. Full API and XML support for automation — our Bromley team will help you configure it.

A Tool
for Every Purpose.

Unlike modular RIP solutions that charge per feature, PrintFactory includes every workflow tool your team needs. One purchase, one licence, one interface for every printer and cutter in your shop — regardless of brand, size or age.

If you are currently running a qualifying RIP licence — including Caldera, Onyx, Colorgate, ErgoSoft, and others — you can trade it in for up to 70% off a new PrintFactory licence. Tell us your current RIP when you fill in the form and our team will confirm the discount you qualify for.

PrintFactory supports over 1,500 devices — HP, Epson, Canon, Roland, Mimaki, Mutoh, Zünd, Kongsberg and many more. It does not matter what brand, size or age your equipment is. Our team will confirm compatibility for your specific devices before you commit to anything.

Every PrintFactory licence sold through Perfect Colours includes access to our Bromley-based support desk — staffed by specialists who configure and use the software every day. We also provide workflow consultancy and can assist with API and XML automation. This is included with your licence, not an add-on.

Yes — that is one of its biggest advantages. PrintFactory acts as a single central RIP for every printer and cutter in your shop, regardless of brand or model. Many businesses run two, three or more separate RIP platforms simultaneously, creating workflow fragmentation and duplication. PrintFactory eliminates that entirely.
