New thumbnail browser
It is now easier than ever to search RIP and Print Queues thanks to the new Wasatch Thumbnail Browser. The visual search will display all RIP or Print entries by thumbnail so you can instantly find the desired print job or layout.

Selection of a print job in the thumbnail browser will bring up a variety of options including RIP, Print, Add to Layout and extra properties
Colour databases
Efficiently import large colour databases into Wasatch for complete colour control throughout your workflow. SoftRIP Version 7.5 can now import CIE Lab colours from Colour Exchange Format (CxF) software such as Pantone Colour Manager.
In addition, Colour Databases can be shared among imaging configurations. Import saved Colour Databases from the Special Colours window to improve colour workflows when using specific spot colours with different imaging configurations.
Expand production
Rapidly increase print production with the ability to drive up to eight printers from one SoftRIP license. Version 7.5 includes two print queues with the option to add up to a total of eight print queues at an extra cost. This makes scaling production more flexible and efficient with this add-on feature.

Deploying Automation features in Wasatch just got easier. For Version 7.5, Wasatch partnered up with real-world, high-production facilities to make our Automation Option increasingly user-friendly. Improvements include email status reporting, printing on-demand with barcodes and automating web-to-print orders.
