Introducing FilmMaker Version 3

The easiest to use software for creating inkjet screenprint films just got even easier to use.

FilmMaker- The screenprinters choice

What few people realize is that CADlink Technology has been developing software for creating inkjet films for over 12 years. In fact, there are more people worldwide using CADlink software for this application than any other. It’s simply branded under different names since we have been creating this product as OEM software for a wide-group of solutions providers.

Our inkjet filmmaking software market has been going so well, we decided to bring our own brand to market. WELCOME TO FILMMAKER!

The FilmMaker Difference

 

Patent pending variable dot halftoning technology

Provides the most precise ink volume controls available today Faster print speeds ….. and higher line screens at lower printer resolutions. FilmMaker leverages Epson’s printer variable dot halftone technology. Other RIP’s claim to but they don’t completely. FilmMaker controls the mix of small, medium and large dots. In doing so, you can control exactly how much ink is being used. Other RIP’s simply select one size dot per job and cannot offer nearly the same type of precision.

 

 

Precision ink volume controls

Controlling the ink volume when producing film separations with an inkjet printer is the most important feature of any RIP. If you put down to little ink you will have weak density and this will cause problems when exposing the screen. Too much ink and you will have drying problems, bleeding and lose details on text edges.

“The Ink Volume control is a unique feature that lets you control exactly how much ink you use in each halftone cell, you need exactly the right amount in order to get good density without bleeding, nothing else comes close to giving you such precise control.”
