WordPress post id **34712**. Also known as `https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=34712` (shortlink on this URL; **not separately re-fetched**). **What this is:** One public English how-to page on **softwaretraining.co.za**, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project ([achievement.co.za directory](https://achievement.co.za/) describes SoftwareTraining as an AM.CO.ZA project of short problem-solving CNC software videos). **InkRIP is AM software** (AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Easy RIP). This page is **Part 1** of the mini-series *Understanding the Toolbar and Its Options Within AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software* (default design shapes / a starting point within InkRIP). **This is a part, not an INDEX.** Distinct from the already-ingested toolbar INDEX `training/inkrip-toolbar-options.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options)), from category summary `training/inkrip-and-rip-training.md` (source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/rip](https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/rip)), from printer-drivers INDEX `training/inkrip-printer-drivers.md`, from transform INDEX `training/inkrip-transform-imported-designs.md`, from ICC INDEX `training/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager.md`, from ICC Parts 1-11 including CURRENT prior Latest `training/inkrip-use-new-icc-profile.md` (ICC Color Manager mini-series complete; not this toolbar how-to), from printer-driver Part 1 `training/understand-inkrip-printer-driver.md`, from Part 2 `training/inkrip-printer-driver-install.md`, from Part 3 `training/inkrip-printer-driver-copies.md`, from Part 4 `training/inkrip-printer-driver-properties.md`, from Part 5 `training/inkrip-printer-driver-resolutions.md`, from Part 6 `training/inkrip-custom-printing-resolutions.md`, from Part 7 `training/inkrip-ink-slot-order.md`, from Part 8 `training/inkrip-driver-import-export.md`, and from `youtube/inkrip-howtos.md`. Named as next chrome on the already-ingested toolbar INDEX (body: "Default Design Shapes Within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software A Starting Point (Part 1)"; cited, not re-fetched). Also named on the toolbar INDEX related chrome (cited, not re-fetched). **Not FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / UltraPrint / AcroRIP.** Distinct: PrintEXP (AM software, different RIP), UltraPrint (not AM software), AcroRIP, WellPrintEXP (stored/OEM), FlexiPRINT / FlexiSTARTER (SAi third-party stored). Sidebar related-video chrome on this URL names FabriCAM / FlexiPRINT / other RIP clips; those are different pages, not this how-to, and were not fetched. ## English peek (quoted from the live page) Quoted from [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-default-design-shapes](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-default-design-shapes): - Title: "Default Design Shapes Within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software A Starting Point (Part 1)" - "When it comes to designs for printing, we always need a starting point to build upon." - "Now having the correct building blocks and knowing how to use them separately or together is a big advantage in the design game." - "This video is part of a Mini-Series." - "The next video covers Fill Type Solid." - Category: Training Videos / InkRIP - Tags: AM.CO.ZA, InkRIP, rip software, Toolbar - Date on page: 10 May 2026 English confirmation: `html lang="en-ZA"`, `og:locale` `en_US` / `en_ZA`, schema `inLanguage` `en-ZA`, prose above is English. ## Mini-series context (cited, not recrawled as extra pages) From the same page (body + prev/next chrome on this URL): - Mini-series INDEX named on this page: Mini-Series at `https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=34711` (already ingested as `training/inkrip-toolbar-options.md`, source [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options); **not recrawled**). - Next named in the body on this page: Fill Type Solid at `https://softwaretraining.co.za/?p=34713` (pretty URL named in avia next chrome: [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-solid-fill-custom-shapes](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-solid-fill-custom-shapes), title "The Solid Fill Type for Custom Shapes Within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software (Part 2)"; **not fetched** this pass). - Avia prev chrome on this URL: Understanding the Toolbar and Its Options Within AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software (Mini-Series) Video Index at [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-toolbar-options) (already ingested as `training/inkrip-toolbar-options.md`; **not recrawled**). - Avia next chrome on this URL: The Solid Fill Type for Custom Shapes Within the AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software (Part 2) at [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-solid-fill-custom-shapes](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-solid-fill-custom-shapes) (**not fetched** this pass). - Related chrome on this URL also names Design Practices Using AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software - Core Practices (Mini-Series) Video Index at [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-design-practices](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-design-practices) (**not fetched** this pass). - Related chrome on this URL also names already-ingested printer-drivers INDEX [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-printer-drivers](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-printer-drivers) (`training/inkrip-printer-drivers.md`; **not recrawled**), transform INDEX [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-transform-imported-designs](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-transform-imported-designs) (`training/inkrip-transform-imported-designs.md`; **not recrawled**), and ICC INDEX [https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager](https://softwaretraining.co.za/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager) (`training/inkrip-icc-profiles-manager.md`; **not recrawled**). ## Embedded video (not mirrored) The page embeds a self-hosted MP4: [https://stfile.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/34712.mp4](https://stfile.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/34712.mp4) (poster [https://stfile.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/34712-thumbnail.jpg](https://stfile.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/34712-thumbnail.jpg)).
