Informative review of the capabilities of the Electronics for Imaging, EFI Fiery hardware PostScript RIP. This RIP can produce beautiful large format color posters, signs, and other exhibit-quality color photographs with an Encad wide format printer.

The EFI hardware RIP is far superior to any software RIP. This system is F A S T. The RIP takes over the entire job after receiving the job from the computer. This means you can continue working with your Mac (or PC) while the RIP is handling the printing. A Raster Image Processor really speeds up printing. it does all the work instead of using the Mac.

EFI (Electronics for Imaging) is the market leader in hardware RIPs. EFI features the Fiery system, which offers a number of professional options for the pre-press professional. This is the older model for an ENCAD NovaJet Pro, the EFI Fiery XJ-W.

You will never notice the RIP is there (except for Mac users). If you use a Macintosh then the RIP will give you back full control of your computer after about 2 minutes. Once the RIP server has received the print job, the RIP takes care of printing it to the wide format printer. You can then use your Mac for any other job that you want. Since the Mac OS cannot yet handle multi-tasking, the RIP takes over and thus permits you multi-tasking in printing.
