Epson Manual for RIP Printing (ONYX RIP)

Important:
Install the RIP and Dashboard on a computer that satisfies the following conditions.
❏ It can connect to the internet. You will not be able to download EMX files if your computer cannot connect to
the internet.
❏ There is enough space to install both the RIP and Dashboard. Separate computers cannot link correctly.
Print Data
We recommend PDF (PDF/X-1a standard or PDF/X-4 equivalent) for the following points.
❏ Links to images do not break and the layout does not get corrupted.
❏ Text does not need to be outlined.
❏ There is no difference in appearance even if the version of the image processing software is different.
See the manual for the image processing software (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.) you are using for how to
put print data into PDF format.

not need to be done every day for all print jobs.
* The procedure may differ depending on the RIP you are using.
