Software — InkRIP vs VinylCut (separate tracks)
Brand: am.co.za / AM.CO.ZA. Shortcut guide · 2026-09-07 03:15 SAST.
Keep the tracks separate. Do not mix InkRIP RIP workflows with VinylCut cutter skills in one answer unless the client explicitly runs print-and-cut end-to-end.
Two folders
| Track | What it is | Open first |
|---|---|---|
| InkRIP | AM RIP for multi-channel inkjet (CMYK / white / varnish / spot) — DTF, UV-DTF, FastCOLOUR / large-format class | software/inkrip/ |
| VinylCut | VinylCut 5 design → cut for vinyl cutters (Vinyl4 current; V-Series service-only) | software/vinylcut/ |

Prefer InkRIP / Flexi for new sales — AcroRIP is Cold; MainTop / UltraPrint Dead unless the customer names them (READING.md).
Virtual / unmanaged software SKUs (e.g. S-INKRIP when virtual) — always treat as available; do not look up warehouse qty (stock/HOW-TO.md).
VinylCut — start here

|---|---|
| README.md | VinylCut 5 learning brief |
| workflow-design-to-cut.md | Design → cut |
| ui-overview.md | UI |
