Will A RIP Software Make Colors Brighter And Improve Image Quality?
Will a RIP software make your colors brighter and improve your image quality? Is it really necessary to run your printer with a RIP? Can’t you achieve the same results simply by using the included print driver? Today, I will explain what a RIP is, what it does and what the benefits are.
WHAT IS A RIP?
RIP stands for Raster Image Processor. A RIP program is similar to the print driver included with your printer, but with much more control (and features). A RIP is designed to handle many files, file types, and file sizes without limiting your print capabilities. A RIP efficiently processes your files faster and more consistently, resulting in faster print times and less waiting. Have you ever tried to run a large image where the file size was more than 300MB? Through the standard print driver, this can be cumbersome and time consuming. With a dedicated program designed to process large files, this task becomes much easier and allows you to work on other projects while your image is processing. You will also have the capability of processing and printing multiple files simultaneously. A RIP also will store all of your processed data (the files that you’ve printed), making reprints a breeze. Most RIP programs include ICC profiling capabilities, so no additional software is needed to create your own custom ICC profiles (you’ll still need a spectrophotometer like the i1 Pro by X-Rite).
HOW DOES A RIP WORK?
As mentioned above, a RIP will allow you to process and print multiple files at the same time. Having this capability will greatly improve printing production and efficiency. Imagine printing a job, processing another job, and preparing more jobs to come later; all at the same time. A RIP will give you complete control over handling your files including: scaling, rotating, color correction, color profiling to a wide array of media types, multiple copies, nesting, and much more. Most RIPs will process your entire file and then send it to the printer, meaning you’ll have consistent output with no lagging. This is because the RIP will only start to buffer data when all of the data is processed, rather then processing/buffering/printing at the same time (as print drivers typically do). With larger files, processing them entirely before sending them to the printer will keep them running at the fastest speed possible (this is determined by the media profile/print mode/speed you have selected in the RIP). Having these options will “open up” your printer’s capabilities and give you complete control over how things will print.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A RIP?
Along with Linearization, most RIP programs give you the ability to create your own ICC profiles without needing additional software. While this can be accomplished using the standard printer driver, you have many more options and control through a RIP. Most standard print drivers force you to choose an existing media type that is already installed in the driver. You have little control adjusting the ink capacity (maximum amount of ink a particular media can hold without pooling), and have no control over linearizing a particular type of media. With a RIP, you arecreating the media type and storing it in the RIP by entering the name of the media you are using. This process is also useful if you have 2 or more of the same printer model. You can essentially create a profile on 1 printer and simply copy it over to the next printer. If you are using 2 or more printers and each printer is a different model, you are still able to get accurate color prints with the profiling process in the RIP. This is especially useful if you have aqueous and solvent printers.
