Obtaining Quality Results - ENCAD 215319-1 User Manual

The printers accept raster-oriented data in the form of HP RTL format. In this mode,
printing begins immediately after the first complete line of HP RTL data is received.
Depending on the software used, millions of colors are possible, yielding superb results.
If your applications do not support HP RTL, there are several software utilities available
to convert various raster file formats (TIFF, GIF, BMP, etc.) into HP RTL. There are also
more than 50 Raster Image Processors (RIPs) which convert Postscript or CGM to HP
RTL. When choosing a RIP or a file format converter for output to the printer, make sure
it has the features you need. (Contact your ENCAD distributor or dealer for an up-to-date
listing.)

Obtaining quality results

consider several factors. Follow the simple guidelines in the sections that follow to obtain
excellent results.
