The IC-309 print controller features the Adobe PDF Print Engine
(APPE) RIP as a complementary workflow to the Configurable
PostScript Interpreter (CPSI) RIP, enabling you to use the RIP that
is appropriate for each job. The APPE RIP is particularly useful for
files that need transparencies and overprint handling. APPE RIP
information is added to the job history and workspace.
The main benefit of the APPE RIP is that complex designs and
effects, including transparencies, can be reproduced reliably.
Designers and printers can make late-stage edits in PDF files more
easily and configure PDF jobs for printing on different types of
output devices and presses.
The APPE RIP applies to PDF files only, all other files are
rendered with the CPSI RIP.
One of the advantages of using a PDF workflow is that you can
work with embedded ICC profiles. The IC-309 print controller
includes APPE RIP support for both CMYK and RGB embedded
ICC profiles.
The IC-309 print controller is compatible with PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3,
PDF/X-4, PDFX4P, and, PDFX5G. PDF/X files are a subset of
PDF files whose standard provides for the exchange of final print-
ready pages. Using PDF/X-compliant files eliminates the most
common errors in file preparation (for example, fonts that are not
embedded, incorrect color spaces, missing images, and
overprinting or trapping problems).
