Xitron Harlequin Navigator RIP and Workflow

Xitron’s Navigator Harlequin RIP leverages Global Graphics’ technology to deliver fast, reliable interpretation of PostScript, PDF, and EPS files. With over 45,000 installations worldwide, Navigator is a trusted name in RIP architecture.
Navigator Workflow enhances this foundation by providing cross-platform functionality, allowing control from any Mac or PC workstation. Its scalable design improves performance while keeping costs low.

• Low Cost of Ownership
  Extend the life of your CtP systems by updating only the necessary software. These productive RIP and workflow modules are the most cost-effective components to replace, ensuring compatibility with modern applications like CS Cloud.
• Intelligent Job Tracking and Search
  Navigator adapts to your naming conventions—ticket number, customer, or date—enabling real-time job searches across workflows, so you can locate jobs efficiently.
• PDF 2.0 Compatibility
  Navigator is one of the first RIPs to support the PDF 2.0 specification, ensuring accurate interpretation of PDF 2.0 job files. Benefit from features like Page-Level Output Profiles, Black Point Compensation, and Spectrally Defined Spot Color values.
• Scalable Solutions
  Navigator allows you to create a customized prepress system tailored to your needs, not dictated by your output device vendor. From in-RIP trapping to load-balancing, pay only for the features you require.
• Seamless Previews
  View RIPed data from any workstation without disrupting production. Check magnifications, spot colors, and traps down to the pixel level, verifying data before it reaches the plate.
• Network-Wide Access
  Client/Server architecture enables job access from anywhere, not just at the output device. Cross-platform compatibility and administrative security provide operators with precise job control directly from their workstations.
• Output to Hundreds of Devices
  Xitron offers a strong alternative to proprietary systems. Whether working with offset, flexo, digital, or packaging applications, Xitron provides solutions for a wide range of output devices.
• Enhanced Interpretive Accuracy
  New PDF functionality minimizes challenges for older RIPs. Native PDF processing ensures features like transparency are handled correctly, reducing errors and saving time and money.
