Raster Image Processor
Redirected from Raster image processor
A raster image processor, or RIP, is a component used in a printing system which produces a bitmap. The bitmap is then sent to a printing device for output.
The input may be a PostScript program or another bitmap of higher or lower resolution. In that case the RIP applies smoothing algorithms.
Every PostScript printer contains a RIP in its firmware.
