He experienced a better quality of the hard copy in HP RTL or Post Script than with HPGL2, plotting on a HP1055CM+.<BR /> To plot with this HP RTL he uses the program XRIP under OSX. This XRIP is installed as a printerdriver and setted under File/Print. This particular driver has Settings of his own. When the client gives a print command the XRIP is setted to make a HP RTL signal to his plotter HP1055CM+.<BR /> <BR /> Under OS9 there’s a variant for this XRIP driver, named MacPlotRaster, and everything worked fine. This MacPlotRaster driver didn’t work under OSX and the XRIP driver is introduced.<BR /> This XRIP driver doesn’t give the right result as with MacPlotRaster. So our conclusion is that XRIP is the problem.<BR /> Then the client tried to publish his LayOut to EPS, opened this EPS in Adobe Illustrator and the Plotter it with the XRIP driver, it worked fine.<BR /> So our conclusion is that PlotMaker 3.0 v3 is the problem.<BR /> <BR /> Does anyone uses this way of printing to achieve better printresults?</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 00:38:39 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Diffrences-in-quality-of-hardcopy-with-HP-RTL-and-HPGL2/m-p/75065#M12191 Anonymous 2023-05-26T00:38:39Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Diffrences-in-quality-of-hardcopy-with-HP-RTL-and-HPGL2/m-p/75066#M12192 They can try to plot into a file and open the PLT file in PlotMaker to see the result.
