B&P launches new RIP based on Adobes PS

B&P Lightbrigade has unveiled a new RIP, TROOP!, based on Adobe PostScript, which it intends to make the best supported in the UK.

The Surrey-based firm will provide colour profiles for leading substrates. It will also provide a TROOP! Colour workshop, for three operators, with each purchase of TROOP! with a GretagMacbeth EyeOne Spectrophotometer.

B&P has also sold a 1.9m-wide Grenadier solvent digital printer to Lancashire-based Palmer Publicity Services (PPS), the first model of its kind in the North West of England.

PPS, which also has HP 5000 and 5500 printers, bought the Grenadier to cope with increased outdoor graphics work requiring solvent-based printing.

PPS managing director Noel Palmer said the machine would also give the firm access to a wider market.
