• What is a RIP?
A RIP (Raster Image Processor) translates files from one computer language to another. It is needed to allow computers to communicate with non-postscript devices including inkjet printers.
• When do you need a RIP?
If you have an inkjet printer and wish to print halftones or control FM dither (squaredot), you need a RIP.
• What does a RIP do for inkjets?
A RIP allows the inkjet head to "pulsate" in order to create halftones. In this case ONLY are RIPs created equal. Read more to find out what makes AccuRIP a superior solution.
• What makes AccuRIP superior to other RIP solutions?
AccuRIP delivers the most efficient work-flow. It was engineered to meet the unique needs of screen-printers. The other RIP solutions available are higher priced solutions that have been repackaged for the screen-print industry or sold as screen-print solutions even when though they include features that screen-printers do not need such as color management and cutting. These extra features which can amount to as many as several dozen only serve to slow down processing and leave the user with a more complicated interface and more steps to follow. AccuRIP is 21 megs of clean, intelligent code. AccuRIP takes over 10 times LESS SYSTEM SPACE than other solutions that can leave over 300 megs in your system.
• AccuRIP is just 21 megs.
• AccuRIP automatically builds a driver based on your printer.
• AccuRIP is a core service - available in all of your applications as a print driver.
• Simply go to PRINT and AccuRIP is ready to work.
AccuRIP does not alter your system as other solutions do and it does not remove any drivers as others do. Never work with an outdated driver because AccuRIP automatically builds drivers as needed.
