Processor speed determines how fast files will be processed through FastRIP. If your processor is
slow and the image is large and/or complex, it will take a long time for the job to be completed.
Since most graphic intensive images qualify as large and complex, we recommend you have a
fast processor. Simply stated,”e faster the processor speed, the quicker the file will print to the
printer.”
