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.
