That will give you the best possible output. A RIP will give you full control over things like colour matching, trapping, separations, etc. If you are serious about DTP, you should get a PostScript printer or, better yet, a high quality inkjet (e.g. PS file, wait for a while and then loop back to the beginning. When that is finished the batch file can delete the. When one appears, it starts up Ghostscript from the command line, with parameters telling it to print the file. One way to do this would be to run a batch file that "watches" a directory for the appearance of a. That file can then be picked up by Ghostscript and printed. You will need to get your application to print to a file.

Ghostscript converts the PostScript output into a printer bitmap, which is then passed through the driver to the printer.

It's low cost because it does not require a fast processor with lots of RAM in the printer.īillBach is also correct in saying that Ghostscript will let you print. Other low-cost printers use a similar system called GDI. It treats the page like a high-resolution monitor. PC元 on the other hand relies on the Windows graphics engine to do this conversion. The printer then converts this to ink dots on the page. an "A" at this position, a line from here to there, etc) to the printer. They allow you to send a description of the printed page (e.g. PCL5 and PostScript are "page description languages". However, when people say PCL they usually mean PCL5 (or possibly PCL6). BillBach is correct in that your printer does not support PostScript.
