And typical clear inkjet film is not waterproof which means the image can get smudged or damaged In the early 2000 s manufacturers introduced waterproof inkjet film that had a microporous coating on it The ink absorbed immediately and the film was virtually dry when it left the inkjet printer This film was two to three times the cost of clear non waterproof film Over the years waterproof film has come down in price and it is now evident that non waterproof film is becoming less readily available These films are far superior to over the counter inkjet films sold by office supply stores Large film manufacturers have worked closely with rip and ink manufacturers to create a system that gives dense images that dry fast Introduction A Word About Inkjet Ink In the early days of inkjet printers the ink used was dye based Dye based ink works the best on clear and waterproof inkjet film and gives a very dense image In the early 2000 s inkjet printer manufacturers like Epson switched to pigment ink because it would last longer for photograph archival purposes BUT pigment ink is not as dark or durable on inkjet film That is why many suppliers offer third party dye based ink to use in your inkjet printer And according to law a printer manufacture can t void a warranty just because you use third party ink Some larger Epson model printers offer the choice of using dye or pigment ink And some of the newer Epson model

25. printers in the last few years like the1400 and 1430 printers use dye based ink Ink Control and Calibration Very Important T RIP also performs a major function of controlling the amount of ink printed A typical inkjet printer is designed to print on paper and to NOT lay down much ink When printing black ink on film positive material for screen making the amount of ink deposited is greater and needs to be controlled better With T RIP you get very dense black ink deposits that make screen burning easy T RIP is also calibrated to allow for dot gain or ink spread when printing black ink on clear inkjet film On some film the ink will spread or gain as much as 50 T RIP has been carefully calibrated so that when an image has a gray area that will end up a 50 dot on the film so that you actually get a 50 dot on the film and not a 70 dot This is a HUGE difference between T RIP and other software RIPs or when printing pre halftoned images directly from programs like Adobe Photoshop Printing Black Ink from Multiple Ink Cartridges Heads There is a trend in the industry to print black ink from more than one of the inkjet heads The reason for this is increased printing speed and also to help eliminate ink waste Inkjet printers go through head cleanings every now and then when they are working and they do head cleanings when you turn them on These cleanings use ink from all the cartridges which means even if you print ONLY black ink sooner

29. use T RIP for Flexo or basic offset negative images newspapers and low Ipi halftone usage the dot is by far clean enough The point is there are very successful companies using inkjet output to print high end process color and simulated process color on light and dark shirts In fact if you didn t know better you would think the films came off an imagesetter Output Speed There may be some concern about the speed of printing to an inkjet printer Inkjets typically don t have very much memory when compared to a laser printer or dry film system This means that T RIP has to use your computer memory and speed when RIPPING the image If you print to a 17 x 22 piece of film the actual printing time may take a few minutes That may seem long BUT T RIP actually processes the image much faster than the RIPs that are built into laser printers The actual rasterizing of the image is much faster Therefore soeed IS NOT an issue when printing to an inkjet Note For most printer models T RIP uses proprietary variable dot halftones that print far faster than any other RIP 57 General Information About Inkjet Printers Inkjet Film T RIP is designed to print on specially coated inkjet ink receptive clear film There is a wide variety of coated films on the market Some have better coatings than others Some also have a back coating that prevents static and keeps the film from curling The proper print side on these films

PostScript Over the years the processing of images into halftone dots was commonly done by software called PostScript Expensive printers and old laser printers came with PostScript Inexpensive inkjet printers did NOT have PostScript installed And over the years the function of PostScript became blurred In the old days if you had a PostScript printer you were guaranteed that it would convert grayscale images into halftone dots for printing In the last ten years PostScript has also become the standard for color management of inkjet printers and often these versions do NOT create halftone dots for printing This is where T RIP comes in It is basically a print driver that takes images from graphic programs like Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw and it converts the images sent from those programs to raster images hence Raster Image Processor that can include solid areas of ink and halftone dots of grayscale image areas all printed with black ink only T RIP is basically a PostScript Interpreter A Word about Media There is a wide variety of inkjet media from industry sources and from your favorite office supply The media is typically clear polyester film that has a special inkjet ink receptive coating on it Over the years clear inkjet film was the standard because of price The problem with clear inkjet film is that the ink does not dry immediately and the coating can be marginal on some brands causing poor ink coverage
