| Jaguar RIP |
| The Jaguar® RIP
harnesses the horsepower of today's workstations. It's
an ideal solution for applications from simple pages
of text through imposed signatures containing many high
resolution scanned images. |
| |
| The Jaguar® RIP accepts
jobs in PostScript, PDF, TIFF, EPS, or JPEG formats. |
| |
| The Jaguar® RIP is
a pure software RIP, driving film an plate recorders through
a standard SCSI-2 interface. Starting with Adobe CPSI
as a building block, PrePRESS engineers add input software,
user controls, and drivers for film and plate recorders.
Since one engineering team designs the entire Panther
Imagesetting System, you are assured of smooth integration
of the components. |
| |
| The Panther® RIP
is designed for flexibility and ease of use. Multiple
Hot Folders or Network Input Channels automatically change
settings for resolution, priority, screening, and ositive/negative
output modes as required for different jobs, there by
increasing productivity by eliminating the need for operator
intervention. |
| |
| The Panther® RIP
provides a robust feedback system.The Status Window displays
job progress and recorder status.The Job Accounting Log
keeps a record of all jobs processed on screen and in
a text file for later analysis. By adding PrePRESS RIP
Tracker you can monitor the RIP from anywhere on the network. |
| |
| Optional modules let you customize aworkflow
solution for the mostspecialized and demanding requirements.
Panther PageTrapper adds Adobe in-RIP trapping, for automatic
trap compensation on colour jobs. Panther PageImposer
watches for completion of individual pages rasterized
by The Panther® RIP and assembles
them into digital flats. |
| |
| ESCOR III screening precisely
controls halftone dots and eliminates angle and frequency
moiré with patented PrePRESS technology.
ESCOR-FM screening uses stochastic screening
to render finer detail. Panther OPI image management improves
productivity by integrating high resolution images at
the Panther RIP. |
| |
| The Panther RIP even
includes a driver for Hewlett-Packard DesignJet plotters
for large format color output and digital proofing. |
| |
| Platform Overview |
| The Panther® RIP
runs on a variety of high-performance Mac and PC platforms.
Greater RIPing productivity can be achieved by utilizing
faster processor speeds and larger memory complements.
Larger hard drive capacity provides greater storage of
fonts, images, PostScript files and RIPed files. Configurations
to best meet your specific requirements should be determined
with the assistance of your sales representative. |

| Macintosh Hardware |
| A Mac OS system with a minimum PowerPC
processor running System 8.5 (or higher). Minimum Mac
memory is 128MB. Additional memory can increase performance
depending upon content and complexity of job.Extra memory
is required for optional Panther PageTrapper software
module. Disk capacity 1- 4GB, CD-ROM required. |
| |
| PC Hardware |
PrePRESS provides and supports specific
Windows NT platform configurations that have been tested
for use as a The Panther® RIP. The following guidelines
are offered for those who choose to take the responsibility
of configuring and obtaining their own PC/Windows NT RIP
platforms.
The recommended configuration includes at least a high-performance
Windows-NT based computer with 128MB of memory. Faster
processor speeds and additional memory can increase performance
for most applications. Extra memory is required for optional
Panther PageTrapper software module. |
