Raster Image Processors (RIPs)

Agfa offers the broadest line of Adobe PostScript Level 2 RIPs in the industry. Our line of dedicated hardware RIPs, including the Star 400 and the new Star 800 NX, has recently reached the impressive benchmark of 10,000 units sold. These RIPs boost your overall system throughput and efficiency and are compatible with Agfa's entire line of Agfa PostScript imagesetters.

With the Viper software RIP running on the latest Power Macintosh models, Agfa has raised software RIPs to a new level of performance. A recent update release of Cobra, Agfa's software RIP for Sun SPARCstation computers, now combines full support for multitasking and multiprocessing and a close integration with file server and print spooling functions. The Taipan software RIP is the Agfa implementation of Adobe CPSI Level 2 software running under Windows NT on PC compatible computers with 486 and 586 processors. Both the Cobra and the Taipan software RIPs can be connected to an Agfa MultiStar multiplexer for increased productivity and maximum utilization of imagesetter capacity.

The Python software RIP and IMAGE Assist software driver are designed specifically for use with Agfa's film recorders. Python--based on the Viper model--provides the faster performance, improved quality, and enhanced color management features of PostScript Level 2. IMAGE Assist features two imaging programs that are tailored to meet the unique demands of presentation graphics and digital photographs.
