For prepress rooms that live on RIP'd plates

Hipalin Advanced 1-Bit TIFF Editor & Montage Station

Inspect, measure, proof and assemble RIP'd plates — the modern way to work with 1-Bit TIFF, without the legacy baggage.

Open billion-pixel 1-Bit TIFF separations with zero lag, measure dot area, screen angle and LPI on real raster pixels, verify against the job PDF, and assemble lossless plate-ready montages.

25,000% raster zoom with true 1:1 halftone pixels

1-Bit TIFF, pixel perfect

2400 DPI plates, inspected dot by dot

Everything a prepress room needs for 1-Bit TIFF

From pixel-level inspection to plate-ready montages — in one lightweight Windows application.

25,000% Zoom Inspection

Open billion-pixel plates with zero lag. From 25% raster zoom upward, true 1-bit pixels stream in — halftone dots stay crisp at any magnification.

Densitometer & Measurement

Live dot percentage under the cursor, loupe area measurement per channel, screen angle and LPI — sampled from the real raster, rotation- and mirror-aware.

Montage on Media

Assemble separations on the press sheet with magnetic snapping, multi-selection moves, keyboard nudging and auto layout — then export lossless 1-Bit TIFF masters.

Step & Repeat

Repeat any separation into a rows × columns grid with micron-adjustable gaps — and draw crop marks only around the outer perimeter when you need to.

Marks & Slugs

Crop marks with bleed, 1-Bit plate marks and dynamic slug lines — file name, color, angle, LPI, DPI and date — on every plate.

PDF Control Overlay

Overlay the job PDF on top of your separations and verify content, registration and tone before the plate is exposed. (Professional)
