Default Re: rip software

You really do not need a 'raster' image process or RIP to print halftones to an ink jet printer. Adobe Photoshop will print halftones to a ink jet all by itself. You can actually create art in any program and then print from Photoshop to an ink jet. You should also be able to use the free GIMP program as well.

Ghostscript and Ghostview are simply telling your programs to do what you could tell them to do if you knew how to 'talk' to your program.

I wrote an article on this several years ago and spoke about it on my Internet Radio program. When people complained that they wanted a quick fix, I developed a software program to do it for them. Surprisingly, people were still buying the program even after I told them that they didn't need to buy it, and that the article was free at the time.

Go figure!
