Hydra RIP vs TIFF Downloader


Product

 
  • NEWS MCE machines
  • Print Console 3.2

Operating system

 
  • Windows 2000


Symptoms

  No error, just confusion with the function of the Hydra Rip and TIFF Downloader in the Print Setup. In Print Console 3.2 when working with the News 150, the install program will setup both Hydra RIP and TIFF Downloader. The RIP used depends on the number of Stacks selected in the Print Setup. 

If you set the Print Setup for two stacks, the Hydra RIP is automatically selected and it expects two files which it groups automatically. If you send only one file, it will timeout and image only one plate and then eject both. 

If you configure another Print Setup with Manual Bypass, this will prompt you to select one or two stacks. You can remake single Broadsheet plates by creating a setup with one stack. Choosing one stack automatically selects the TIFF Downloader Rip.


Cause

 

Confusion only.


Solution

  Future version of Print Console will address this confusion.
