TOPAZ Rip is independent to "PS interpretation engine", during all other Rips are very relying on PS engine. This generates various problems in general on the other hand.

ICC-depencency can cause below problems;
- With relying on ICC profiles,generally color is downgraded, because color gamut is narrowly limited.
- People cannot correctly predict the change of color in output when adjusting color in other rips, that's because the Rip is too dependent on ICC profiles. Other tips need to rely on ICC profiles and gamma, saturation, level and brightness corrections are screened by ICC profiles, which gives confusing results. For example, if you'd like to decrease 10% of Cyan, you'll see 5% increased yellow on the print output unexpectedly. Most of users suffer from color correction problem in other rips.
- There's a limitation in black enhancement. When user want to print Backlit, black control is very important. With using other rips, if people want to increase ink cut, overall color is out of control. So in many backlit application, black color is too weak if user prevent the output from ink running, which is critical for back-light applications.

TOPAZ Rip expands the gamut of ICC profile and allows user to freely adjust colors. TOPAZ Color control is predictable, flexible and controllable. This is because TOPAZ color control module is independent to ICC profiles. TOPAZ Rip is using ICC profile as a basement of CMS?and it does not rely on ICC. So people can adjust colors to what they expected exactly.

There's freedom of color correction separated from core CMS with dynamic preview simulation. Powerful black enhancement and other important and useful features for generating exactly expected print output.

Ink level is also very important point in signage printing. (Very important and this looks the key point in sales of TOPAZ) In many cases, total ink limit can be lower than 200%, due to the 3rd party ink and media. However ICC profile cannot meet the accurate color under the 200% of total ink limit. The recommendation is to change the ink or media in this case. However, this is not allowed in the real world. TOPAZ Rip was designed to help users to resolve this problem, to get the best result even when they have only 100~120% of total ink limit. TOPAZ Rip has 256X256 level of gradation and sophisticated screen technology to resolve poor quality problem in white point.

TOPAZ provides amazing printing speed (Ripprint: rip&print on the fly) and easy 'dual-mode' Interface. Powerful cropping/tiling module and rigidly structured file management. Perfectly support supercell, Variable dot, Hifi inks (Lc, Lm, Lk, Or, Gr...) at the same time.

TopazRip enables real Rip&Print on the fly. Some Rips argue they can do it, but actually they can treat just image files (not PS or PDF) only on Rip&Print on the fly. TOPAZ Rip has no limitation in file size and print output size. Even 100M long printing can be possible, without overload in memory and cpu. TopazRip requires max. 3G of free hard disk only, even how long the file or printing size is.

This option is very useful when nesting (media saving). Other rips do nesting but those are 'after-ripping' nesting. This is not useful in large format printing of Signage market. Just imagine. Nested big rasterized file need to be printed at once. It'll require huge time and load of memory and cpu. Topaz Nesting is using PS information directly and it Rip&print the nested layout on the fly, without overload.

TOPAZ has its unique QuBis Screen technology, which enables Double-256 (256X256) level true color gradation. This is a main factor which differentiate printout of TOPAZ from that of others. Especially TOPAZ screen is very strong in light area where ink level is very low.
This screen is also a key factor of success when total ink limit is very low by using 3rd party ink and media. TopazRip's new screen technology (Topaz Qubis?Screen) allows the smoothest gradation (single, dual, multiple colors).

TOPAZ also has unique Photo-quality interpolation algorithm (Topaz BiCubic interpolation).This enables the best scaled up output from small pictures. There's lack of this option in other rips.

TOPAZ has unique algorithm to treat with Epson's HIFI technology. This can be applied to all Epson-head family like Mimaki, Roland and Mutoh. It is very important to use variable dots and light inks in Epson heads. But theoretically two technologies are conflicting with each other. TOPAZ is one of a few solution which cleverly resolve the confliction and shows the best quality with using both technologies at the same time. It is also very difficult to control the curves of light inks. We found the optimal curve through the intensive study on Epson technology and we show the smoothest interchange between light colors and normal colors.

TOPAZ is the fastest Rip in super scale (very long) printing without load of time and cpu. TOPAZ unique interpolation algorithm will enhance the scaled-up image quality too. This is the unique feature of TOPAZ and non of others cannot mimic this. We have very special structure in treating with large image files.
There's a limitation of output length in other rips. But there's no limitation in TOPAZ Rip. 500m long printing is possible, if there's real 500m long media roll.

TOPAZ enables fast process of huge scale print with multiple images at the same time to prevent the loss of media, without time lag. Supporting flexible editing like re-scaling, rotating or overlapping. ?It always convert all vectors into rasters to apply various functions like tiling, nesting and etc. This causes heavy load of calculation and lack of flexibility in layout edition.

You'll find the totally difference concept of Nesting in TOPAZ. TOPAZ Nesting does not require importing of ripped images. If we import ripped raster images on nesting layout, we'll not be able to freely edit each job and total size of nested job will be too big to handle.

In TOPAZ Nesting, users can load multiple images and run re-scaling, overlay, re-positioning, and rotation freely, without any load of calculation time or CPU. The nested Job can be Riprinted (Ripping and printing on the fly) in TOPAZ Job manager in a flash without regarding the size of nested job, as well as individual images. This is the main differentiated feature of TOPAZ Rip from others.

In general, some rips are a little heavy and slow to handle for most of users who want fast and prompt actions in signage works. You can test the printing speed during simultaneous ripping/printing. Also, you can test the time lag during the operation in tiling, re-scaling, nesting and etc.

TOPAZ Rip is designed to meet practical demand of people, who is not very professional but requires the most successful output easily. You'll find how easy and streamlined the GUI and structure of TOPAZ are.

TOPAZ is one of the few rips which can perfectly provide all drivers for Asian-brand of Solvent machine like DGI and Infinity. We're strong in grand format solvent signage market and we alsol provide other drivers like Liyu, Skyjet and Gongzheong.

Different from others, TOPAZ is very strong in superscale printing with lack of ink gamut. If you want vivid colors and swift performance in using grand format solvent printers, TOPAZ will be the answer.
