PowerRIP 2000 Manual

Overview
PowerRIP TIFF is ideal for creating high quality, high
resolution TIFF images that are platform independent.
The higher the resolution you select, the higher the
quality the TIFF image becomes. But it also should be
noted that the higher the resolution selected, the bigger
the file, the higher the quality the TIFF becomes. So a
large amount of free hard drive space to accommodate
high quality TIFF images needs to be available.
All the PowerRIP 2000 features are available when
using PowerRIP TIFF including:
• Make Compositions from Separations.
Note: Not all applications have the capacity to
create compositions from separations.
Photoshop, Word, and Excel are examples
of applications that cannot use this
feature.
• PowerRIP 2000s High quality color
management
• Compression for ease of portability and storage
• Ability to select a resolution that best suits your
needs.
• Ability to create RGB or CMYK TIFFs
Creating TIFF Images
Any application that has the ability to create a
PostScript file can be used to create a TIFF image using
PowerRIP TIFF. The PostScript file will be created by
the application using the applications Print to File fea-
ture and then processed by PowerRIP 2000 to create the
TIFF output.
