To accomplish simple to complex computer graphics you’re relying on the power of the PostScript language introduced by Adobe in 1984. Graphics files created in Adobe, Corel or color separated with Sep Studio NXT as well as other mainstream graphics programs are built using Adobe PostScript data. To understand the value of AccuRIP Software, the industry’s number one film printing RIP software, we’ll start with art.

RIP stands for Raster Image Processor, and it is so important when printing films (transparencies) through an inkjet or bubble jet printer such as an Epson or Canon. Printers are unable to understand the language of graphics and relies on a translator to print films as separations. It takes your properly built file from Adobe, Corel, Sep Studio and other mainstream art graphics programs and translates it to the printer. Although you print files (single to multiple colors) to produce a set of film separations, it is actually not a separation software (another common misconception). M.D.A RIP software is part of the key pieces of film printing production managing both solids and halftones (a common misconception is only halftones), provides critical control of ink spraying as ink on clear film needs to adhere and not drip, and delivers high-quality results.
