EPSON® StylusRIP is software for use with Windows 95® that
turns your EPSON Stylus printer into a PostScript
printer. StylusRIP processes raster images for your PC, reads
and interprets Adobe Level 2 PostScript, and allows your
EPSON Stylus printer to print color raster images.
Adobe PostScript is the standard for high quality graphic
output. All elements of a document, including text, graphics,
and images are processed, stored, and reproduced using the
PostScript code. When you print from an application, such as
®
PageMaker
, StylusRIP processes the PostScript code and sends
the processed image to the printer.
