OctiPus — Industrial RIP & Software Controller
A high-performance, modular print and control platform engineered for industrial environments where data integrity, flexibility and reliability are essential — enabling fully synchronized variable data printing across DJM's complete range of print technologies.
Built for production
Scalable & Productive
Software-based RIP engine processes print data on-the-fly, with easy scaling by adding hardware to match application requirements.
Guaranteed Data Integrity
Prevents duplicate or out-of-sequence printing — every item is printed exactly once, correctly, with built-in safeguards for traceable workflows.
Flexible Data Output
Built-in layout designer for variable data applications with PDF and CSV support and an integrated barcode library.
Seamless Hardware Integration
Connect with printers, cameras, PLCs and production equipment for real-time control of printing, inspection and transport systems.
Rip Once, Print Many
For static data, OctiPus offers RIP-once functionality that stores and reuses processed data, reducing hardware requirements.
Modular Add-On Architecture
Extend capabilities with Color Management, Printer Grouping, Task Queue, Hardware Control, Read & Print and Third-Party Integration add-ons.

Add-Ons for Maximum Production Efficiency
OctiPus add-ons extend the platform to support advanced, high-performance production environments — from precise color management to full third-party system integration.
Color Management
Linearization, ICC profile support and Delta E–based color estimation for precise, consistent full-color reproduction across every job.
Printer Grouping
Control multiple print technologies at a single print position — automatically split PDF data across mixed print modules, including third-party devices.
Task Queue
Efficient queue management, batch processing, job control (pause, resume, cancel, reprioritize) and flexible file handling for variable page dimensions.
Hardware Control
Continuously monitor printhead and ink system parameters in real time for immediate detection of and response to irregularities.
Read & Print
Receive print instructions directly from external systems — ideal for environments where every product, sheet or label requires unique data.
Third-Party Integration
Align printing with line-level controls, cameras, databases, I/O, feeders and transport systems for coordinated, automated production.
Why DJM OctiPus
