What would you like to see in a new RIP specifically built for DTF?
I have got a question for those of you working with DTF printing on commercial printers.
What would you like to see in a new RIP specifically built for DTF?
I’m currently developing a RIP (starting with Hoson board printers), and I really want to understand what actually matters in real-world use. What features do you wish you had? What frustrates you in your current RIP? What feels not useful, overcomplicated, or just missing entirely?
I’d genuinely appreciate any ideas, feedback, or even small annoyances — don’t hold back.
Why am I doing this?
Most RIP software today tries to be “everything for everyone.” As a result, it’s overloaded with unnecessary features for DTF, while the things that actually matter are often clunky or poorly implemented. On top of that, a lot of these systems are built on old code with bugs that keep getting carried from version to version.
I believe there’s real value in a simple, lightweight, and intuitive RIP made specifically for DTF — something that helps you work faster without digging through endless settings and buttons.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts 🙌
