Today, there is only a handful of industrial-strength prepress workflows. When comparing Rampage to other systems, consider the points below. In the USA:
- Annual maintenance is $1,750 per site regardless of configuration size or product mix.
- Annual maintenance includes telephone support and free, self-installable point releases within a Version.
- There is no charge for the first year of maintenance.
- Cost of version upgrades - V8 to V9 and V9 to V10 were $3,000 per RIP/Shooter. V10 to V11 is $4,000 per RIP/Shooter. Version upgrades are released about every two years. You can leapfrog upgrades (e.g., V8 to V11 for $4,000.)
- Rampage Remote costs $16,000 including hardware and has no usage fees or unique pricing schemes. Training and installation are priced separately.
- Support - When you need help, call the main number; a person will answer your call and send you directly to a Technical Support Specialist.
- Ease of use - Depending on product mix, initial training is onsite for three days only. New hires are typically cross-trained internally.
- Continuity of product - Rampage extends the product with free point releases and low-cost Version upgrades. We have never dead-ended a product.
- Rampage is a private company under no investor pressure to merge, cut, or diversify.
- Turnkey pricing - Most Rampage functionality is built in. There are only a few options to consider and no complex pricing schemes with hidden costs.
- Cost of redundancy - If you have two Rampage PCs, you have a redundant system. In a down situation, you can move dongles around, and we can enable applications remotely.
- Rampage now supports native PDF directly and can process to either a raster format (ROOM) or to a vector PDF format (NORM) at no additional cost.
- Low-cost scaleability - To increase capacity, you simply break functions out to dedicated PCs or add the Threaded RIP Option.
