The image files to be printed are loaded onto an external RIP server via CD or network. A DTP professional then fully prepares the image files, including the print options, for printing. He/she then transfers the finished image files directly into a prepared hotfolder of the printer via network.
The operator selects or checks the desired print options at the workstation of the printer. He/she then adds the image files to the queue. The software automatically retrieves the image data from the queue and prints it.

Print Quality/Resolution
With quality levels 1 Pass to 4 Pass, you can print with higher quality. The higher the value, the more frequently the print carriage passes over the image and the higher the image quality.
An overview of the recommended levels of quality for different media is found on the Durst Rho Community Website. The link is found on the Durst website at www.rho-online.com.
Print Direction
Bidirectional: The ink is applied in both directions when the print carriage moves. This increases print speed.
Unidirectional: The ink is only applied in one direction or the other when the print carriage moves.
Spot
Backlit: The ink is applied twice. This option is recommended for transparent media for lit sign advertisement or for textiles.
Same image side by side: If a smaller image is to be printed in large numbers, the individual copies of the image are not only printed in the direction of transport, but also next to one another.
Position
You can select whether the image is to be printed left-aligned, right-aligned or centered. For left- or right-aligned printing, the border width preset on the
Border/Size sub-tab is taken into account.
Enhancement
Pass overlapping: You can increase the image quality with this function. This reduces productivity.
Curing Delay
The print carriage waits after traversing in each direction to enable better penetration of the ink into the medium. This reduces productivity, however.
If the Glossy option under Print Finishing is activated, the curing delay increases the gloss effect.
