The analysis of methods used in the printing process for pre-processing a stream of digital data in PostScript format in raster image processor systems (RIP), including combined PDF / PostScript conversion was carried out. It is shown that as the PostScript format is hardware-independent, so thanks to the approaches based on the work of the interpreter and contour descriptions of data structures, PostScript file is the most appropriate for output in different types of output devices using their highest possible resolution.

Keywords: Raster Image Processor (RIP), language PostScript, tone reproduction, trapping, raster conversion.
