3017 provides optimized technology
that allows the direct printing of
PostScript and support of native PDF
1.6 and PDF/X files. Since Adobe also
developed the PostScript and PDF
languages, it stands to reason that an
interpreter (RIP) developed with
Adobe’s participation prints these files
more accurately than the clone RIPs
often found at the lower end of the
market.

that closely approximates how objects
will appear when printed on an offset

allow greater compression of PDF files.
