System requirements

The following table lists the minimum and high volume recommended system requirements to run RIP software. System requirements vary according to the size of the files to be printed, the output device used, and other variables. System requirements and intended use of the software determine what hardware and software setup is needed to get the most out of RIP software. When working with relatively small files, the minimum setup may be sufficient. Similarly, when working with large files, consider the recommended setup. Consult the product dealer for advice when choosing a system.
