The Birmy Graphics PowerRIP is a true Adobe Level 2 PostScript Raster Image Processor.

A true Adobe Level 2 PostScript RIP has the ability to use color rendering dictionaries when the RIP is driving a color printer. These color rendering dictionaries are automatically accessed by the Adobe Photoshop program when printing directly to the printer. Images created in Photoshop can be placed in other applications and still access the color rendering dictionaries, if they are saved as LAB.EPS or calibrated RGB.EPS files. RGB.TIF and CMYK.TIF files do not access the color rendering dictionaries automatically if placed in other applications and then printed.

PowerRIP includes a means of automatically converting non-calibrated RGB.TIF into calibrated RGB.TIF with a software switch “Treat allRGB as calibrated”. This switch will convert most RGB color calls into calibrated color space automatically accessing the color rendering dictionary. If for some reason you don’t want to use this feature, you can disabled it simply turning it off.
