The RIP in the Lithography unit is responsible for the critical conversion of vector and image data into halftone dots. This device must ensure high accuracy in the plate’s Resolution and LPI (lines per inch). Furthermore, the RIP precisely manages the screen angles of each color (CMYK) during the Color Separation process.

This precise angle management eliminates the Moiré effect when overprinting colors. The quality of the RIP output directly affects the geometric and dimensional stability of the dots. While this unit primarily serves offset, it should be noted that a similar process is executed in Flexographic Platemaking for cliché creation.
