The Prinergy software handles many vector and raster output formats, making it simple to connect to most proofing devices.
Prinergy can directly drive the Epson 5000/7000/9000 printer series, and any proofing device that accepts the HPRTL or Mutoh RTL raster transfer languages. This includes wide-format proofing devices such as the HP 750, 1050, 2500, 5000, and 5500 printers.
Note: Only a subset of the RTL language is supported, and newer features such as asymmetric resolutions are not supported.
Since printer manufacturers frequently update their printer languages, Prinergy is not adding direct connections to other proofing devices. Instead, Prinergy connects to most third-party (non-Kodak) proofing devices using the proofing device's front-end RIP. Some proofing devices use built-in RIPs and some use external RIPs.
For the connection to succeed, the proofing device must accept at least one file format that Prinergy can output.
If your proofing device does not accept any of the Prinergy output formats, consider purchasing an external third-party front-end RIP, such as the EFI Best RIP, the CGS ORIS Color Tuner RIP, or the GMG ColorProof RIP. For information, see the manufacturers' Web sites. Third-party RIPs typically support a wide range of proofing devices and accept the PostScript language, which ensures network connectivity.
