Re: RIP Software Question

2003-06-13 by Tyler Boley

the easiest and cheapest approach is to create a pdf from your quark
file, then use Photoshop as a RIP by opening and therefore rasterizing it.
Then print out of Photoshop.
EpsonStylusRIP is a dog in many ways, IP is overkill for that problem
as you will need the postscript version.
