UNINET® has developed a series of software packages to enhance your IColor printing experience. The IColor™ TransferRIP and ProRIP and ProRIP Essentials packages make it simple to produce spot color overprint® and underprint® in one pass. The Absolute White RIP helps you use an Absolute White Toner Cartridge in a converted CMYK printer, and create 2 pass prints with color and white. The IColor™ SmartCUT suite allows your A4/Letter sized printer to produce tabloid or larger sized transfers! Use one or more with the IColor™ 500, 600 and 800 series of transfer printers.
IColor™ ProRIP
Why use IColor™ ProRIP?
Use the IColor™ ProRIP software to print white as an underprint® or overprint® in one pass.
This professional version is designed for higher volume printing with an all new interface. Design files can be printed directly from your favorite graphics program, as well as imported directly into IColor™ ProRIP.
The IColor™ ProRIP software allows the user to control the spot white channel feature. Three cartridge configurations are available: Spot color overprinting, where white is needed as a top color for textiles; Spot color underprinting for printing on dark or transparent media where white is needed as a background color and standard CMYK printing where a spot color is not needed. No need to create additional graphics with different color configurations – the software does it all – and in one pass! Enhance the brilliance of any graphic with white behind color!
The IColor™ ProRIP Software comes standard with all IColor transfer printers and is now available for use with Oki White Toner Printers as well!
- Designed for a “production” atmosphere, allowing multiple page continuous printing without the need to press the “online” button as seen with the IColor™ TransferRIP software.

IColor™ ProRIP Essentials
Why use IColor™ ProRIP Essentials?
A simplified version of ProRIP which includes all of the most commonly used features of ProRIP with an easy to use interface. This Essentials version simplifies the printing process and allows the user to print efficiently and quickly without any training. All of the important and frequently used aspects of the software are included in this version, while all of the ‘never used’ or confusing aspects of the software are left out.
Available for the IColor 540 (Economy version, 230v only), as well as the 550 and 560 as an option.
IColor™ SmartCUT
Why use IColor™ SmartCUT?
Easily print oversized images on letter / A4 sized printers (or larger) with UNINET’s IColor™ SmartCUT software.
SmartCUT allows owners of smaller width printers to gain the benefits of tabloid or larger sized printers.
SmartCUT is a user centric tool that is a key component to expanding the size constraints of popular print methods, especially as it relates to transfer printing commonly associated with garment decoration. This ground breaking application turns your letter / A4 sized printer into a tabloid ‘plus’ capable machine, allowing for the splitting and splicing of one graphic across two or more printed transfer sheets without seeing the seam!
Use any oversized graphic along with a transparent transfer sheet, and the software will split it in half along the most logical path. You can choose to have it split along dark or light areas, depending on the color garment you will be pressing onto. With this software, you can make large designs that are not possible with even the most expensive of printing systems because you can split up your graphic onto as many transfer sheets as you want.
SmartCUT can be used in tandem with any RIP software package and printer. It was designed from the ground up with ease of use as a paramount consideration. Most functions are automated to allow you to focus on finding the best starting point to split each job. Final results can be used on virtually any printer. White toner printers highly recommended.
SmartCUT supports many file types such as PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF and TIFF files.
The program works as an integral part of a decorating system, where the split pages are printed onto IColor™ Standard or Select transparent transfer media. The sheets are then lined up visually on the substrate through the transparent sheet.
Print and press onto plus size garments such as 2X, 3X, 4X. The ability to print designs that properly fill out these large sizes creates the opportunity for high value garments that can fetch a premium price. A very high percentage of designs used are virtually imperceptible by even those who know that a seam exists.
SmartCUT is more than just ‘splitting software’ – it’s a RIP enhancement tool!
New features include:
- The ‘Selective Masking Tool’ allows you to point and click to rasterize or distress elements of your design based on color or shape.
- IColor™ ProRIP software integration for ease of use.
- The ‘Real Preview’ tool which applies the white adhesive behind the image (digitally) and then applies the image it to the color and texture of a shirt. The result is a much more realistic preview of how your image will look once pressed.
IColor™ Absolute White RIP
Why use the IColor™ Absolute White RIP?
UNINET offers the opportunity of white toner printing for everyday CMYK laser printers – this option is for those that may not be quite ready to make the jump to an IColor Printer.
UNINET’s Absolute White Toner Cartridges allow you to convert your compatible printer into a white toner printer! Simply swap the black cartridge that shipped with the printer and replace with the Uninet Absolute White toner. Print in 100% monochrome for white images and text.
Up until now, printing FULL color images for transfer has been a challenge because you have to design a specific white overprint® layer in addition to the color layer, and run the transfer paper through the printer twice, and rely on the printer to line up the images on the same page. Most users only print white image for this reason. This is a tedious process that previously required advanced editing software and knowledge.
UNINET's Absolute White RIP does it all for you! It will analyze a full color image, and then create a matching white layer (with automatic choke) to make 2 pass printing as easy and reliable as possible.
- Automatic Rasterization (with options to adjust shape and size of the rasterization)
- Black color removal
- Automatic mirror
- PDF creation (2 pages, color and white)
- Manual white layer shift (to compensate for registration deviation)
Transfer paper is fed through the printer twice, but all of the manual design work required to do this efficiently is now automated.
A free license is included with all UNINET Absolute White branded white cartridges (for printers other than IColor), which will have a page count limitation matching the yield of the cartridge purchased. When the page counter depletes, simply purchase a new Absolute White cartridge and the page counter is refreshed.
