System Requirements Macintosh
The following table lists the minimum and high volume recommended system setup to run RIP Software.
System requirements vary according to the size of the files to be printed, the output device used, and other
variables. Your particular setup and intended use of the software determine what hardware and software
setup you need to get the most out of RIP Software. If you are working with relatively small files, the minimum
setup may be sufficient. Similarly, if you are working with large files, you should consider the recommended
setup. Consult your dealer for advice when choosing a system.
