Introduction
PowerRIP ImageSet turns your printer into a PostScript
®
Level 3 compatible print server. PowerRIP ImageSet , a software
raster image processor (RIP), reads and interprets PostScript
Level 3 and allows your printer to print virtually any PostScript
job. Simply select the PowerRIP printer entity from the local
server or any remote Mac or PC running Windows, select your
printing options and click print; PowerRIP takes care of the rest.
PostScript is the standard for high quality graphic output. All
elements of a document, including text, graphics, and images are
described by the PostScript code. When you print from an
application, such as PageMaker
®
, PowerRIP processes the
PostScript code and sends the processed image to the printer in
it’s native language, already rasterized.
