  • Publication number: 20050058481
    Abstract: Digital printing technologies often rely on raster image processors (RIPs or RIP engines) to convert vector image data to raster, or bit-map, data, which allows a printer to render the image as a pattern of dots or pixels. One problem that the present inventors recognized with conventional RIPs is that they have limited communications capabilities that can in some circumstances reduce their effective processing speed. Accordingly, at least some embodiments of the present invention allow controlling a RIP engine using two or more different RIP control entities.

  • Patent number: 6570665
    Abstract: A method of printing a multi-page job including producing separate non-bit mapped files for each page of the multi-page job, producing a page file for each page of the multi-page job, storing the page files in a memory and printing the page files in sequence. The page file may include color separations for the various colors to be printed on the page or other convenient forms of storage devoted to a single page. The page file may be in a bit mapped format or may be in the form of a continuous tone image in a format which can be easily converted into a bit-map format by the printer during the printing process. Preferably, the continuous tone image can be converted into a bit map for printing on the fly.
