# PrintEXP software notes

English pointers from the local cncu.co.za mirror (`T:\U\C\Other-Softwares\AM.CO.ZA PrintEXP Printer Control & Alignment Software`). **No pricing.** Setup ZIP/EXE, unpacked version trees, UltraPrint RIP guts, OperatingEnvironment binaries, and foldersweb caches are **not** copied (URL + local path only). This first-deep copies the **newer** 2024 English instruction PDF (prefer) plus Word source, the unique error-code handbook PDF, the English `error-code.txt` how-to, and the Upgrade Tool `DO NOT USE.txt` warning. **Newer wins.** Distinct from AcroRIP, InkRIP, and WellPrintEXP.

The 2022 instruction PDF is an **MD5 twin** of `manuals/dtf-textile/PrintExp-Printer-Control-Alignment-Software-Instruction-2022.pdf` (MD5 `6CBBAB9A584C316F5A11FA108CC80AA3`, 2298935 bytes) -- not re-copied. The 2024 instruction PDF/DOCX here are **newer** than the DTF-textile copies (PDF MD5 `8A2103054B8E31D32F93D036E89BE156` / 2507021 bytes vs DTF `80E2A122F26EF28A5C1FC87B65540478` / 2497673 bytes). Canonical copy lives under `manuals/printexp/`.
