EXTIF pro (DriverLab SRL)

Colour separation without detour via PDF - not only from MS Office EXTIF pro is a Software RIP, which generates color-separated, exposure-ready image data as CMYK TIFF from all PC-applications. Especially on MS Office documents (MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, *.html, ...) this new technology of combined DIRECT rastering and color separation offers considerable advantages concerning color fidelity, font and sharpness in comparison to the usual method via PDF / PostScript.

All of you are familiar with the following problem: You want to prepare a document from any PC-application like MS Word, PowerPoint or Excel for printing. But how to convert the graphic information from the original document into colour-separated, exposure-ready image data From your everyday experience you may know that the most conventional way via PDF and PostScript has been paved, so far, with many inconsistencies regarding colour fidelity, missing fonts and pixelation of embedded raster graphic objects; very often, the end-result on printed paper clearly differs from the original document in colour, font and contrast. Amongst other reasons, that is because on the conventional workflow via PostScript / PDF the native document format (like .ppt or .doc) at first is merely translated into an other script language (PostScript or PDF, respectively), but is being rastered just later on ¿ and mostly this is done spatially separated, i.e. on an other device. On many documents this temporary translation into PostScript / PDF results in translation losses, just like on a text, which for example is not being translated from Spanish into English directly, but at first to Chinese and only after that from Chinese into English. The new EXTIF pro relieves you from these burdens. EXTIF pro is a Software RIP, which directly docks the Windows graphics engine (GDI), and stores the graphical data of the original document directly rastered and colour-separated as CMYK TIFF file. In this way, you will easily obtain exposure-ready image data from all your PC-applications, the result being a perfect reflection of the original. Within the architecture of Windows operating systems, as a printer driver EXTIF pro belongs to the same class as screen drivers do, i.e. EXTIF pro does exactly the same as your screen driver does, as well, when displaying for instance a PowerPoint document on the screen. So to speak, EXTIF pro provides a screenshot of the entire document at the desired resolution, this way ensuring that in the end, on the printed paper, you get exactly what you saw on the screen before.
