output file is imaged based on commands from the page
description language.

RIPing

The process of rastering or converting bitmaps and vector
graphics into raster images suitable to the screening
parameters of the output device. Files are RIPed prior to
exposure or plotting.

Saturated color

A color where the high and medium values approach 100%. In
a saturated clean color, the values of the wanted colors are
near 100% and the value of the unwanted color is near 0%.
For example, when the color is red, 5% cyan, 90% magenta,
80% yellow is more saturated than 30% cyan, 90% magenta,
80% yellow.

Saturated (presentation)

A rendering intent method which scales all colors to the
strongest saturation possible. The relative saturation is
maintained from one color space to another.
This rendering style option is optimal for artwork and graphs in
presentations. In many cases, this style option can be used for
mixed pages that contain both presentation graphics and
photographs.
