PowerRIP 2000 turns your ink jet printer into a PostScript
®
Level 3 compatible printer. PowerRIP 2000, a software
raster image processor (RIP), reads and interprets PostScript Level 3 and allows your printer to print color raster
images. 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.
