After a year of deep refactoring with AI, the industry-trusted RIP software emerges faster, smoother, and more reliable than ever — free to all subscribers
SALT LAKE CITY | Utah – June 2026 – Wasatch Computer Technology today announced the release of Wasatch SoftRIP Version 8.4, a milestone update arriving as the company celebrates thirty years of its flagship RIP software. The new version represents a year-long effort to rebuild SoftRIP’s core from the inside out, delivering significant gains in speed, stability, and reliability while preserving the familiar product that customers have trusted for three decades.
Rather than a surface-level update, Version 8.4 reflects a comprehensive refactoring of the software’s underlying architecture, accomplished with the help of AI. The result is a product engineered like new but designed to feel exactly like the SoftRIP users already know — so customers benefit from the improvements without having to change the way they work.
“Reaching thirty years is a milestone few software products ever see, and we wanted to mark it by investing in the next thirty,” said Mike Ware of Wasatch Computer Technology. “We rewrote the core so our customers don’t have to think about it. SoftRIP is the same product they rely on every day, just faster, smoother, and ready for whatever comes next.”
Key highlights of Version 8.4 include a rebuilt core engineered for the next thirty years, improved performance and stability refined throughout the application, and the same trusted workflow and feature set customers depend on.
Version 8.4 is available free of charge to all Wasatch subscribers. A Wasatch subscription provides ongoing access to the latest revisions, newest features and device support, and unlimited access to the Wasatch service team.
