This software allows users to print to printers that do not support the Postscript language. It converts the data into a compatible format for the printer, eliminating the need for a Postscript driver.
PowerRIP X is a complete redesign of the previous version. It is a tool that creates accurate color or black and white proofs for graphic artists, photographers, and printers from applications like Quark 6, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Freehand. This software uses Apple's OS X, ColorSync, and CUPS to create a seamless printer integration within the operating system.
If you are using versions 10.2 or 10.3 of OSX, you will find that these do not include any built-in PostScript RIP for your printer with accurate color profiles. PowerRIP X addresses this issue with its advanced functionalities. It can drive 69 Epson printers, including the Stylus Color 3000 and the new 4000, as well as HP and Canon printers.
Setting up PowerRIP X is very easy. You only have to create a printer once in Print Center, and choose it in your application. Apple's Print Center on 10.2 or the Printer Setup Utility on 10.3 combine with CUPS to auto launch the PowerRIP application. This application runs until the file is printed, and PowerRIP then goes away until it is needed again.
An exciting feature of PowerRIP X is its incorporation of the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). This is a new approach to PostScript printing that guarantees excellent quality printouts. With PowerRIP X, printers can be driven by USB, USB to parallel, and Ethernet via TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and ATPrint.
In summary, PowerRIP X offers a complete PostScript solution with advanced features that seamlessly integrates with your printer and OS X operating system. It is a software tool that delivers accurate color or black and white proofs for your printing needs. By providing excellent quality printouts, this software is perfect for graphic artists, photographers, and printers who require precise and professional results.
