SoftRIP Helps Students Learn Color Separations
"Our students work with different types of workflow software and Wasatch SoftRIP is not only intuitive but produces reliable results every time," says Patrick Rose, Senior Lecturer.
At Clemson University, students take their first step into the printing industry using Wasatch SoftRIP. For 10 years Wasatch has helped the students learn many different facets of the industry including lithography, flexography, dye sublimation, and primarily screen printing.
Award Winning
The valuable education Clemson University provides along with the powerful separation tools found in SoftRIP SP, helped Jordan Reemsnyder receive an award for Best of Show during SGIA 2013. Jordan's "Escalator to Where?" was created using Wasatch SoftRIP SP. This highly sought after award is sponsored by the Academy of Screen & Digital Printing Technologies (ASDPT) and judged by leading experts in the field.

SoftRIP SP’s intuitive workflow, color tools, and exclusive Precision Stochastic Screens. Students will find SoftRIP's easy-to-use controls and innovative tools necessary when creating their first film positive for four color separations. With a number of halftone methods to choose from, a Separations mode that automatically detects spot and process separations, overprint support, and a multitude of operator controls, SoftRIP SP provides the students with all the controls they need.
More Tools, More Control
SoftRIP's streamlined user interface, innovative halftone methods, and customizable features are important to the students and to the success of the Department of Graphic Communications. With these easy-to-use features, the students are able to familiarize themselves with calibrating and the linearizing process. Using the Press Curves controls, the students can linearize film positives or convert negative linearization for the flexography processes.
