PowerRIP X is a complete redesign of the previous PowerRIP 2000 version. It uses Apple's OS X and CUPS (The Common Unix Printing System) to create a seamless printer integration with the operating system. After you install this software, you will not find a PowerRIP X application folder or separate program to launch. This is a new approach to PostScript printing. Now to setup PowerRIP X you only need to create a printer, one time, in Print Center and choose it in your application. Apple's Print Center on 10.2 or the Printer Setup Utility on 10.3 combine with CUPS to auto launch the PowerRIP application, which runs until the file is printed, PowerRIP then goes away until it is needed again. Printers can be driven by USB, USB to parallel, and Ethernet via TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and ATPrint. What's New: Version 7.14 supports all previous features. Support has been added for the Epson Stylus PRO 4000 printer. New color tables were created for the Epson Stylus PRO 3000 for the following papers Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper, Epson Glossy Paper, Epson Professional Media Photo Paper, Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Epson Matte Paper Heavyweight. The new color tables for the 3000 will increase color saturation and reduce grain on these five paper types. Major features have been added for Spot Color support on all printers. Users can now print DCS separations and tell the RIP to recompose the colors including spot colors. Special lookup tables convert the named spot colors, such as Pantone, to the nearest CMYK color match within the printer's color gamut. Colors falling outside the gamut of the printer are reproduced as black. Users can edit the out of gamut colors using RGB, LAB or CMYK values and a new feature in the PowerRIP X utility. The new spot color editing feature enables users to force a color to fit within the gamut of the printer or produce an acceptable match. |  |
