InkRIP — private learning brief (AM.CO.ZA)
Scope: InkRIP only. Do not mix with VinylCut workflows, skills, or how-tos.
Audience: Vector (private). Ask Eric when a gap needs a human answer.

What InkRIP is for (AM context)
AM.CO.ZA InkRIP (InkRIP Easy RIP) is AM’s current RIP for multi-channel inkjet output — CMYK, White, Varnish, and spot channels. First-party framing:
- Raster Image Processor: edit / typeset / colour-manage / nest jobs, then RIP to printer (inkrip.co.za; company digest
sources/company/inkrip-download.md). - Optimised for AM DTF and UVDTF (and related FastCOLOUR / large-format) printers; often bundled in-house (Buythis has no standalone InkRIP SKU in the dump — look for machine bundles / S-INKRIP mentions).
- Distinct from PrintEXP (board/control software), and from older/cold RIP lines AM no longer treats as current.
- Core operator skills: printer drivers inside InkRIP, Job Manager, ICC / Color Manager (ink limit, linearisation, profiles), layout/transform, hotfolder, spot white/varnish.
- Downloads: inkrip.co.za/download and cncu
Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Easy RIP Software/(prefer named V7.2.14.0 Standard builds). - Training: softwaretraining.co.za InkRIP mini-series (Getting Started, Basics, Job Manager, Printer Drivers, ICC, Toolbar, Transform).
InkRIP is not VinylCut and is not a vinyl cutter app. Keep learning, skills, and how-tos in this folder only.
