Quite simply, Hy-Rez QuikRIP is a set of highly calibrated

configuration settings and postscript printer description files that

run in CADlink PhotoScript.

These allow an ordinary Epson 3000 or 1520 ink jet printer to

generate accurate imagesetter-style film positives for use within the

screen printing industry.

Without an application (RIP) such as this along with the screenprint

specific calibration our product provides, it would be impossible to

generate any form of usable halftones with your ink jet printer!

What Exactly Is Hy-Rez QuikRIP?

Getting Started

Note:

If not already completed, the drivers included with your

Epson 3000 or 1520 printer must be installed. These are needed to

perform general maintenance on the printer such as head cleanings.

However, DO NOT install the Epson Stylus RIP Postscript Driver!

The installation of this driver will cause conflicts with PhotoScript

and Hy-Rez QuikRIP. If this driver has been installed, remove all

software associated with the printer and reinstall only the printer

driver omitting the Epson Stylus RIP Postscript Driver.

It is VITAL to first install Prior to running the Hy-Rez QuikRIP

installer!

If PhotoScript is not installed first, the RIP will not function properly.

Carefully follow the installation instructions in the PhotoScript

manual and make sure NOT to have the dongle inserted during

installation.

When prompted to select your printer during installation only install

the driver for “your” printer, the Epson 3000 or 1520. Do Not simply

check the Epson box, doing so will install drivers and print modes for

an excessive number of printers. Only install the driver for “your”

printer, the Epson 3000 or 1520.

At the end of the PhotoScript installation, a prompt will be issued to

install Quark specific files. If Quark is not installed on your system,

just click cancel.
