Tips and Obtaining
the Best
Printing Quality
The

Graphics
PowerRIP
is a true Adobe
Level 2 PostScript Raster
Image
Processor.
A true Adobe Level 2 PostScript RIP has the
ability to use color rendering dictionaries when the
RIP is driving a color printer. These color render-
ing dictionaries are automatically accessed by the
Adobe
Photoshop
program when printing directly
to the printer.
Images
created in Photoshop can be
placed in other applications and still access the
color rendering dictionaries, if they are saved as
LAB.EPS
or calibrated
RGB.EPS
files.
RGB.TIF
and
CMYK.TIF
files do not access the color ren-
dering dictionaries automatically if placed in other
applications and then printed.
PowerRIP
includes a means of automatically
converting non-calibrated
RGB.TIF
into calibrated
RGB.TIF
with a software switch “Treat all
RGB
as
calibrated”. This switch will convert most
RGB
color calls into calibrated color space automatically
accessing the color rendering dictionary. If for
some reason you don’t want to use this
feature,
you can disabled it simply turning it off.
