Create Film Positives on an
Inexpensive Inkjet Printer!
What is FastRIP?
FastRIP is a PostScript interpreter called a raster image processor (RIP). Without
PostScript it is impossible to print high-quality halftone dots on a “non-PostScript” inkjet
printer such as an EPSON R1800 or4800. Even if your printer has PostScript, it may not
be able to print halftone dots because PostScript is often just used to calibrate and bal-
ance colors on an inkjet. The EPSON “RIP” doesnot print halftone dots! FastRIP does!
And, FastRIP tells the inkjet printer to lay down a much denser deposit of black ink. You
will think you are looking at imagesetter quality output. And... the halftone dots are careful-
ly calibrated so if you specify a 50% dot you get a 50% dot on the film!
Easy To Use
With FastRIP you print directly fromAdobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand
or FastFilms. There are no additional steps and no confusing commands or “hot folders.”
Just press the Print button as you normally would. You specify the halftone line count and
angle just like you always do. And, when you burn screens from clear film with crisp,
sharp black images that are as dense as imagesetter output, you will find your screens
expose MUCH better. No more playing with exposure times like you do with laser output.
Your halftone dots are a thing of beauty!
And.... there is more!
You aren’t limited by the size anymore. If you output to an EPSON 4800, you can print up
to 17”x 22.” Better yet, go to the EPSON 7800 and output 24” wide material or the
EPSON 9800 and get 44” output! This is HUGE. No more tiling and no more shrinking jobs
to fit on your laser printer. Plus the registration is DEADON! You can also do accurate,
calibrated paper colorproofs in both normal inkjet output or in halftones so the customer
will see what the print will really look like, and if you print T-Shirt transfers using special
coated paper, FastRIP is calibrated to make them look great! The FastRIP Manual and
Training DVD is also available in Spanish!

For guaranteed results, highest print speed and film
that dries immediately - this printer and FastRIP
package is designedto use FOUR FastINK Dye
black cartridges with FastPOS Waterproof film only.
Whenusing four black cartridges the quality of color
output may suffer slightly.
Wewill NOT guarantee the quality if you use film and
ink from other third party companies. This is a sys-
tem of film, ink and software that works beautifully
when used together.
Have you been looking at inkjet printers for film output but were turned
off by the speed? Inkjet printers with a software RIP driver have taken
the industry by storm the last few years. The only thing that has sepa-
rated us from Thermal Imagesettes was speed - Thermal Imagesetters
were faster. That has all changed! We have developed a way to use
FOUR black ink cartridges in an Epson 4800 along with patent pending
variable dot software to print FULL SIZE FILM POSITIVES IN UNDER
ONE MINUTE! And, at very high resolution! WOW!
If you are new to the business you don’t realize how huge this is.
We call this variation on our FastRIP PRO software, FastRIP PRO
High Speed. And, it is a thing of beauty!
