5.1 wallPen Processor
All images to be printed with the wallPen must be prepared with the "wallPen
Processor". This software is a "Raster Image Processor" ("RIP") developed by wallPen
Germany, which evaluates bitmap files, converts and splits them into the required color
channels ("CMYK") and raster these channels so that the ink drops on the substrate
later cumulate to produce an image that is as true to the original as possible.
It should be noted that this method is always only an approximation, as the available
colors of the printer (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) only provide a relatively small color
space than most (photo) templates represent. In this respect, "ripping" is always just a
compromise for such technical reasons.
In order to rip a graphic file with the wallPen Processor, certain requirements have to
be met for the image file. In general we recommend a current version of the software
"Adobe
©
Photoshop" or "Affinity
©
Photo" for image processing and the preparation for
rastering.
The latest version of the wallPen Processor is available for download on our service
platform at service.wallpen.com. During installation, the wallPen model used (E1/E2) is
queried. This model selection can be changed later in the software settings after
installation.
Important Notes
· Before installing the wallPen Processor V4.x.x and later older preset files
should be deleted first!
· Do not use any special characters for paths, file names, or calculations. Do
not use local paths or your Windows user directory if this path contains any
special character.
· Only use high-quality USB flash drives for file transfer to your printer,
recommended to be formatted in NTFS format.
· To be able to run the wallPen Processor we recommend a state-of-the-art
computer system with an Intel
©
i5 processor or better (or Apple M1) and the
latest Windows
©
or MacOS
©
64-bit operating system, a SSD hard drive and
at least 16GB RAM (64GB recommended).
