TIFF Workflow

TIFF In or TIFF Out

Collage allows you to use TIFF files in two ways: input and output.

Create the job with a TIFF image. One-up or fully-stepped-and-repeated image. Apply Collage's quality enhancement tools for the best possible output results.
Output TIFF. Collage supports TIFF direct engraving for Gravostar or Hell engravers. Also supported are TIFFs for CTP and Laserstar.

TIFF Direct Engraving for Gravostar or Hell engravers

If your output device requires TIFF images, Collage creates the images and any support files. TIFF images are created at the engrave resolution specified in Collage.

TIFF output from Collage is available for the following:

K500 engravers
Hell or Gravostar engravers with a DTG front-end
Collage jobs containing TIFF images can be directly engraved on any Gravostar, including newer type 1315, 2215 and 3615 engravers. The RTI-E is not required to engrave TIFF.
