Shiraz Software

Background

Shiraz Software has been developing printing solutions for the large format market since 1993, almost at the same time that the whole large format printing industry was beginning to take shape.

Our flagship product Shiraz RIP Server has been widely used in the most demanding production environments worldwide ever since. In recent times we also added three additional products namely, Shiraz Signature, Shiraz Focus and Shiraz Carbon that catered for new emerging markets in LFP. These new products had evolved from the same strong pedigree of the high end Shiraz RIP Server. With the advent of the new generation of our RIP product, Shiraz Rosetta, we now have brought the best of all our solutions into one incredible package that caters for all users and grows with your business needs.

Our goal is to deliver state of the art printing solutions on all major platforms for all related large format printing markets with very strong after sales support.

Our Mission

We take pride in developing forward-thinking solutions that help our customers stay ahead of the curve. Our product development teams follow a systematic approach to developing new products – listening to and collaborating with our customers, generating ideas for new products and services.

We are committed to driving continued technological innovation and progress, setting new industry standards, maintaining a strong commitment to innovation, and increasing the pace of our new product development and speed to market.

Our Vision

As a technology leader, we recognize that the key to customer satisfaction and our continued long-term success is to anticipate customer needs and develop new technologies and innovative solutions that provide our customers with a distinct competitive advantage.

Today we are hard at work developing the next generation of products and services that can continue to improve the digital printing industry and add value to the fast evolving digital printing market place.
