The “Configure RIP (Default)” dialog shows the RIP options that you may modify. These RIP options are only used when the related checkboxes are selected.
To modify the RIP configuration options:
Go to [Setup] and select RIP Configuration > Configure Adobe RIP. This opens “Configure RIP” dialog (Figure 2).
Select the option name you want to configure.
Click [Edit]. This opens the “Enter/Edit Configuration” dialog. (Figure 3).
Modify your RIP option, and click [OK].
There are following RIP options in the “Configure RIP” dialog:
This option changes the order of operations for the RIP. Everything starts at CMYKSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; the ink colors used in four-color process printing. In theory, 100% of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow create Black. In practice, the addition of Black ink is necessary to print a true Black. See also RGBSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Red, Green, and Blue—the additive primaries. RGB is the basic additive color model used for color video display. Mixing various percentages of red, green, and blue light can recreate most of the spectrum; combining 100% of all three creates white light. See CMYK, Additive Color.. and then the processing goes pixel by pixel, rather than by objects. Spot colors will render differently since they are pixel data when spot color calls come in.
When checked and set to [OFF], this eliminates image downsampling. Image downsampling reduces processing overhead for generating preview (better performance), at the potential loss of information. There are limitations and so the value should be left [OFF] unless needed.
Normally overprinting of colors or planes of colors is emulated (before color management). Setting this option to [NO] only performs overprint of actual color planes (with color management interferring with overprint). Overprint emulation does have a performance penalty.
When this option is enabled and set to "true” as well as [TransGlobalRasterization] is enabled and set to “true”, the possibility of standard hybrid transparency flattening is used. Atomic regions are eligible for low-resolution rasterization unless they include any of the following:
Text objects
Type 6 or 7 smooth shades
Soft masks containing vectors
Any atomic regions that are not eligible for low-resolution rasterization are rasterized at device resolution.
Lists more information into the RIP Log. This option is useful when EPS files error out. RIP Log might only say "An error occurred during processing". Lists more from Normalizer.
This setting allows one to define the Maximum Amount of Memory that the Adobe PDF Print Engine can use forcing more complex processing to be spilled to disk. This option is not enabled by default (indicating no limit), but when checked it is set to 3GB.
When [EnableLowResRasterization] is set to" true", rasterization of smooth shaded transparency regions can be affected when the standard hybrid flattening process is used (not by global rasterization).
Whereas images specify their own resolutions, smooth shades do not. The parameter controls low-resolution rasterization for smooth shades. Its value is a floating-point number that specifies the minimum resolution, respectively, to be used for low-resolution rasterization of atomic regions that include smooth shades. This parameter is ignored when [EnableLowResRasterization] is "false".
Setting [MinShadeRasterization] to “200” is a good starting point for setting this value.
Changes the rendering intent used to map spot colors. When unchecked [Absolute] is used. 0 = Perceptual, 1 = Absolute, 2 = Relative, 3 = SaturationTerm used to describe the strength, purity, or vividness of a hue. Saturation indicates how much color is present. When there is no saturation, there is no color; the more saturation, the more color there is of the given hue., and 4 = Postercolor.
This helps eliminate round trip errors for spot colors that are in a transparent blend. Adobe will make them CIELAB and convert to device values to apply the blend, then it goes back. This results in a round-trip value change. With this option “ON”, it does not take go from CIELAB to device values. This makes the spot color consistent everywhere. Some saturation to the color can be lost in the process.
Provides a smart check in how it handles objects and transparency. If there are few objects with transparency, they are preserved and handled as objects. If there are numerous objects with transparency, the overlapping objects are rasterized and color managed pixel by pixel.
This option will reference fonts installed in the Windows font directory when files have fonts that are not embedded or converted to outlines. This option is enabled by default.
