5 Processing and printing from the Creo server File processing The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 features the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) RIP for PDF files and the CPSI (Configurable PostScript Interpreter) RIP for other file types, enabling you to use the RIP that is appropriate for each job. The APPE RIP is particularly useful for PDF files that need transparencies and overprint handling. The main benefit of the APPE RIP is that complex designs and effects, including transparencies and overprints, can be reproduced reliably for PDF files. Designers and printers can make late-stage edits in PDF files more easily and configure PDF jobs for printing on different types of output devices and presses. The APPE RIP applies to PDF files only, all other files are rendered with the CPSI RIP. One of the advantages of using a PDF workflow is full support of embedded ICC profiles. The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 includes APPE RIP support for both CMYK and RGB embedded ICC profiles. The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 is compatible with PDF/ X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, and PDFX5G. PDF/X files are a subset of PDF files whose standard provides for the exchange of final print-ready pages. Using PDF/X‑compliant files eliminates the most common errors in file preparation-for example, fonts that are not embedded, incorrect color spaces, missing images, and overprinting or trapping problems.
