I have a couple questions regarding postscript. I have an epson 2200 I bought recently, and I understand that inkjet printers do not have postscript. I was looking into many RIP programs like Fastrip pro and found they have been too costly. I have still yet to check out ghostscript.
Anyway, I thought about some different options. I currently have 'AdobePDF' as one of my printer drivers, where I can print any file to PDF format. In that, there is a postscript interpreter that can print separations to PDF.. So i thought I could just reopen the pdf files in Illustrator and print those separations through my Epson. Is this a possible way to bypass an RIP program? Will this print the gradients/halftones that the RIPs are set out to do?
