What is RIP? What role does it play in the CTP system?

Raster image processor RIP, the abbreviation of English Raster Image Processor, it is an indispensable intermediate link in the process from pre-press layout processing to output film or printing plate. It is related to the quality and speed of output, and even the operating environment of the entire system, which is the core of the entire system. The main function of RIP is to accept the data transmitted from the computer and "translate" it into the raster data information required by the output device for output. At the same time, RIP also has the function of controlling the output device and the output of other information in the layout. It can be said that RIP, as a "translation" of digital proofers and imagesetters, is an indispensable pivotal link when outputting computer-arranged graphic pages to different media, and plays a vital role.
