raster image processor

A Raster image processor is a component that can be found in some printers.

This is done by a part called a Raster Image Processor.

Allows to build printers without raster image processor, and without a lot of memory.

The raster image processor generates a bitmap of the final page in the raster memory.

It also includes a software raster image processor (RIP) which is downloadable separately.

The first commercially successful laser imagesetter, able to make use of a raster image processor was the Monotype Lasercomp.

Monotype Systems Ltd. focused on selling pre-press software and hardware, raster image processors and workflow.

Raster image processor (RIP)

The result is a fully composed print file ready to RIP (raster image processor) and print at the compatible print device.

A raster image processor (RIP) is a component used in a printing system which produces a raster image also known as a bitmap.

Transforming vector-based data into the form required by a display, or printer, requires a Raster Image Processor (RIP).

Creating the image to be printed is done by a Raster Image Processor (RIP), typically built into the laser printer.

The majority of DTG printers are driven from a computer by the use of software known as a RIP (Raster Image Processor).

A platesetter is a machine which receives a raster image from a raster image processor and in turn, creates a lithographic plate suitable for use on an offset press.

For this reason PostScript interpreters are occasionally called PostScript Raster Image Processors, or RIPs.

With most printers, this takes place in a chip inside the printer called the raster image processor, and the printing jobs are lined up in RAM chips or on hard disks.

This can be achieved simply with curves or other adjustments in Photoshop, for example, or using special printer drivers (or Raster Image Processors) such as QuadToneRip.

In the 1980s, Adobe drew most of its revenue from the licensing fees for their implementation of PostScript for printers, known as a raster image processor or 'RIP'.

Easy Software Products, the original creators of CUPS, created a GUI, provided support for many printers and implemented a PostScript Raster image processor.

It is a client/server system that integrates PDF creation, job proofing, imposition, and a Raster Image Processor (RIP) into one unified workflow.

The raster image processor receives the data in a description language, like Postscript, PCL, or PDF and converts it to a bitmap or raster image.

Photoshop is used in conjunction with an image-setter, a combination of laser and computer technology that incorporates its own in computer, called a raster image processor, to transform the image into digital code.

For a time an interpreter (sometimes referred to as a RIP for Raster Image Processor) for the PostScript language was a common component of laser printers, into the 1990s.

The device natively supports 24-bit RGB raster files, and is capable printing vector based files when fronted by a photographic Raster Image Processor (RIP).

The Harlequin RIP is a raster image processor first released in 1990 under the name "ScriptWorks" running as a command-line application to render PostScript language files under Unix.
