Some of ColorMaster RIP Features include:

Program Interface

Processes Print Jobs using a built-in RIP engine and sends these files to a printer or printer-cutter. Also used as a File (Print Job) management utility that stores processed and unprocessed Print Jobs to sort and filter into a single Job Queue using Optimize and Nest to be processed as a single RIP file

Media Profiles Library

Specialist utility to combine complex data into a single Media Profile by taking media and ink combinations and their respective settings along with the related .icc profile to create a unique Media Profile for each set of these combinations

ICC Profile Support

Full ICC Profile Support and implementation

PDF and Postscript Level 3

Import .eps, .pdf and .ps files directly into VinylMaster which you can then RIP, Print and/or Cut

Auto RIP

Automatically RIP files as they are sent to the Job Queue

Simultaneous Ripping

RIP, Print and Cut to multiple printers/printer-cutters at the same time over multiple ports and/or over an Ethernet (Network) connection

Multiple Multithreading CPUs

Dedicate up to 8 CPUs to Process RIP Files and execute complex instructions in parallel using multithreading

Multitask Environment

Lets you background RIP, Print, Cut, so that you can Layout, Nest, Edit Profiles, Color Correct etc. at the same time

Job Queue

Load, position and prepare separate Print Jobs into the Job Queue to RIP, Print & Cut Multiple Print Jobs at once. Hold Print Jobs for later or overnight printing

Color Correction

Adjust Temperature, Saturation, Brightness and Gamma along with the Red, Yellow Green, Cyan, Blue and Magenta Color Channels based on the current Media and ICC Profile using Soft Proof for very accurate Color Correction and Adjustments

Soft Proof (Preflight)

Full color simulation of RIP files before you RIP for pre-printing approval (WYSIWYG)

Nesting

Automatically positions separate Print Jobs together into a Single Print Queue ready to be immediately Ripped or printed out to minimize media waste

Block Nesting (Media Length)

Lets you set the Maximum Print Length to avoid long printing misalignment and device ink limits that incorporates the Nesting feature to work in Blocks (Sections) within the set Media Length

Tiling
