Cobra Software RIP
Agfa's Cobra software raster image processor (RIP) combines the
workstation processing power of a Sun SPARCstation with the exceptional
functionality and flexibility of a PostScript Level 2 software RIP. Cobra
is based on Adobe's Configurable PostScript Interpreter (CPSI), and runs
on a powerful RISC-based Sun workstation. Simple software upgrades will
keep you on the cutting edge of functionality. And since Cobra is not tied
to dedicated RIP hardware, it can migrate to even more powerful platforms
in the future.
The latest version of Cobra technology (2.2) offers the maximum performance available from any Agfa RIP. This high productivity is made possible by the synergy of the powerful Sun SPARC processor chips, the advanced Solaris 2.5 operating system, and the Cobra multithreaded architecture. In addition, users can benefit from the improved quality and capabilities of PostScript Level 2, as well as the optional PixelBurst coprocessor. Cobra is also available with optional Agfa CristalRaster stochastic screening technology, for moiré-free output, and with Agfa Balanced Screening Options software to address special halftoning requirements. Cobra also provides a wide range of functions on the same platform--including print spooling, multiple output queues, recorder gain calibration, and other job management capabilities--that can help your company take a big leap in productivity.

Every Cobra RIP comes standard with Agfa Balanced Screening technology for
crisp, moiré-free output on Agfa imagesetters.
You can also choose new Agfa CristalRaster technology for use with
SelectSet(TM) imagesetters. CristalRaster is a revolutionary stochastic
halftoning system that places uniform microdots in random locations to
deliver color reproduction free of line screens, moirés, or
artifacts of any kind.
Cobra is compatible with Agfa's AccuSet imagesetters, the awardwinning
SelectSet line, and the entire ProSet line. With Cobra, you'll get high
performance and advanced capabilities for fast, high-quality output today,
and an easy upgrade path for the future.
