Allen Christopher Announces Debut of PrintRipper Print Management for Event Photographers

WARWICK, New York—June 30th, 2009

Allen Christopher today announced the cross-platform release of PrintRipper™ print management software for Event Photography. The basis is quite simple- shoot an image and have it instantly print to a printer of your choice.

PrintRipper™ goes beyond conventional “hot folder” printing. Most “hot folder” applications limit the user to just one printer and/or hot folder. PrintRipper™ allows the user to use as many printers as the user would like and assign as many hot folders as needed. PrintRipper™ will archive your photos for you or delete them once they are printed.

Other Features

With PrintRipper™, you can assign a variety of options to individual hot folders, such as instant borders, watermarks, and chroma keying. 

Borders

Some photographers use custom borders for events that they may shoot. With PrintRipper™, all a photographer has to do is assign a Landscape and a Portrait border to be added. PrintRipper™ does the rest.

Watermarks

Like adding a border, PrintRipper™ can instantly add your watermark to your photos. Just as in assigning borders, you’ll need a Landscape and Portrait version of your watermark. 

Chroma Key

PrintRipper’s Chroma Key feature is straight-forward: Choose your backgrounds and fine-tune your range/shadow settings. PrintRipper™ will automatically key out your backgrounds and merge your images for you.

With a little creativity, PrintRipper™ will prove to be a powerful tool in your arsenal. You can use networked folders as your hot folders, utilize the border and watermarking overlays to create more complex chroma key effects, and even tie multiple folders together for additional layering/processing. We encourage your creativity!
