If you travel to China without knowing Chinese then will face problems. To carry out operations smoothly without learning Chinese, you will need a translator who will translate your words while you are talking with the locals. Similarly, if your artwork doesn’t have a translator, then it will either not get printed through your printer or you can get a result that’s costly and unexpected. In technical terms, printer RIP software is utilized for printing workflow. It facilitates the production of a raster image which is also called a bitmap from a language of page description such as Portable Document Format, PostScript, XPS, or some other bitmap of lower or higher resolution from the output device. Next, this bitmap is sent to some printing devices for output.

The process of RIP is carried out in 3 stages which have been discussed in the following

✓ Interpretation: At this stage, supported pages or PDLs are description languages that are translated in the form of private internal representation on every page.

✓ Rendering: Next the private internal representation ...
... is converted to a bitmap. Commonly rendering is carried at the time of interpretation.

✓ Screening: In the third stage is the screening stage the image is created in the form of a dot pattern or halfton. You can come across two methods of screening. These are frequency modulation screening or FM and Amplitude Modulation screening or AM.

If RIP software is not used in printers then inkjet printers will not have any of the post-script options. It is when a postscript RIP printer driver is available that all the required options become available. RIP
printer allows high-quality and swift printing. You, just have to click a few buttons and the printing will
happen automatically.
