Quite simply , Hy-R ez QuikRIP is a set of highly calibrated configur a- tion settings and postscript printer description files that run within CADlink PhotoScript. These allow an ordinary Epson 3000 or 1520 ink jet printer to gener- ate accurate imagesetter-style film positives for use within the screen printing industry .
Installing Hy-Rez QuikRIP - Windows When the PhotoScript installation is complete, after your computer has been restarted, and the port has been selected for your printer , it s time to install Hy-Rez-QuikRIP . (Y oull be prompted to select a port at restart, choose LPT1 on a PC) Insert the Hy-Rez QuikRIP CD and run the installer .
Running The Updater - Windows The final step to install- ing is to update the system PPDs to match the custom PPD s the installer has placed on the Desktop. Open the folder on the CD named Updater Windows QuikRIP and double click the QuikRIP PPD Updater .
Here are the 5 custom print modes youll be using. The names of these modes are: Hy-Rez QuikRip 1 Hy-Rez QuikRip 2 Hy-Rez QuikRip 3 Hy-Rez QuikRip Dark Hy-Rez QuikProof The QuickRip 1 setting is most likely the one of choice if you have difficulty in controlling dot gain on press.
Running Hy-Rez QuikRIP - Windows Double-click the Hy-Rez QuikRIP icon on your desktop to launch the RIP . The below window will appear . Time to launch may vary greatly depending on your computer .
This launches the PhotoMatch Screen. If only one ink jet model is installed, the printer name will default to it. 8.
Under the File menu select Open PrintMode . A dialog box will appear containing the 5 custom Hy-Rez QuikRIP modes in addi- tion to the default modes included with PhotoScript.
The next step is to load these settings into the RIP . From the File menu select Send Settings 10.
Once Send Settings has been initiated, you will notice activity in the original PhotoScript screen. These printer configurations have now been loaded into the RIP and are awaiting instructions from the graphics application used to output the art.
Printing With Hy-Rez QuikRIP - Windows Y ou have made it through the hardest part and printing from within an application is no different than what youve done in the past. The RIP functions basically like a postscript laser printer attached to your system so no special knowledge is required to print using your ink jet along with the RIP .
Do not relocate the PhotoScript Folder to another location on your hard drive. It must remain where the installer has originally placed it. If you decide to read the PhotoScript manual, you must still use our technique to print using the RIP and not CADlinks.

Once the color separations or basic art has been completed and youve decided on which channels are to be imaged as film positives, it s time to make a choice on the method used to output the films. Basically there are two methods. The easiest is to simply output the films from within Photoshop.
T o print the individual color channels from within Photoshop, first select each spot channel required for output within the channels palette by turning on the eye next to the channel name. Next choose Page Setup from the File Menu and select the printer to be used with the RIP .
Photoshop has now been configured to output the file. Select Print from the File Menu. On the bottom of the print dialog box, make certain the Print Space Profile is set to Separations. If this step is omitted, the halftone s may not image correctly .
T o output the films from an external source such as an Illustr ation or Page Layout program, your file must be exported from Photoshop as a DCS 2.0 File. In order to do this, it s advisable to work on a duplicate file. When working on the duplicate delete any of the RGB channels by selecting and dragging to the trash.
Printing a DCS 2.0 file from a Page Layout or Illustration program is exactly the same as printing any multi-color document. Once imported or placed into the external program, just select each channel for output and apply a screen frequency and angle to each along with the other usual settings such as page size, orientation, printer selection, etc.
Select the Page Setup Button and choose page size and orienta- tion. Selecting the Screen Button brings up the Halftone Screens Box. Choose each color and apply a halftone Frequency , Angle and shape.
Select the Print Button from within Print Options and choose the current application, in this case Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1. Make certain the Print Space Profile box is set to Separations. The halftones may not image correctly if this step is omitted.
