"With PrimeCenter 5.0, operators using any Raster Image Processor ("RIP") can easily inspect"

A raster image processor ("RIP") is software or hardware that converts page layouts, fonts and graphics into the pixel-by-pixel format a printer or press can actually print. Think of it as a translator that turns a recipe and shopping list into a ready-to-cook meal for a specific oven; it determines final image quality, printing speed and compatibility with equipment. For investors, RIP performance affects production costs, output consistency, and capital equipment value in industries like commercial printing, packaging and digital signage.

"moving directly to optimized layouts or exporting clean PDFs across workstations."

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file type that preserves the exact layout, fonts and images of a document so it looks the same on any device—like a printed page that stays identical whether you open it on a phone, tablet or computer. For investors, PDFs matter because financial reports, press releases, regulatory filings and investor presentations are commonly distributed this way to ensure accurate, tamper-resistant sharing, easy saving, printing and consistent review of numbers and disclosures.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Caldera, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the release of PrimeCenter 5.0, a significant update to its innovative wide-format intelligent job preparation and prepress workflow solution. The latest enhancement reduces manual rework and production delays while delivering measurable time and cost savings to print providers. With PrimeCenter 5.0, operators using any Raster Image Processor ("RIP") can easily inspect, modify, validate, and confirm files in a single workspace before moving directly to optimized layouts or exporting clean PDFs across workstations.

File preparation remains one of the biggest sources of delays and rework for wide-format print businesses, with complex applications such as double-sided or multilayer printing often requiring manual intervention. The introduction of File Editor in PrimeCenter 5.0 brings all key prepress functions into a single environment, reducing the need to switch between tools and ensuring both accuracy and consistency. Print businesses can save up to 30 minutes per print job, enabling them to scale production and meet customer turnaround expectations.

"PrimeCenter 5.0 reflects what print teams tell us they need every day: a quicker, easier way to get files production-ready while keeping full control. With File Editor, users can check, fix, and validate files in one place before moving straight into layout creation. That means less jumping between tools, less rework, and more time spent getting jobs out the door across manual and automated workflows," said Sebastien Hanssens, Vice President of Marketing at Caldera.

Integrated directly into PrimeCenter 5.0, File Editor allows users to review critical file components such as dimensions and cutting paths, apply immediate corrections, and confirm results in real time. Files can then be sent directly to PrimeCenter's Layout Creator, where jobs are automatically nested into optimized layouts for printing and cutting. Files can also be exported from File Editor to PDF.

PrimeCenter 5.0 continues to support integration with major RIP software, printers, and cutting systems, making it suitable for a broad range of applications, from sticker production and retail graphics to high-volume batch workflows.
