The target application is Demand Printing of technical documentation. The one product that we've evaluated so far actually translates PostScript into .IMG bitmaps, while mapping fonts to BitStream fonts. This is insufficient for our needs. We need to be able to handle ANY PostScript file with confidence - that what shows up on output will match what we can get out of any Adobe RIP- equipped laser printer, such as Apple LaserWriter II, QMS 820, etc. Hence, the word "genuine". The add-on (Adobe RIP, whatever?) must also be able to correctly handle downloadable PostScript outline fonts, custom fonts, etc. Thanks in advance for any and all help, Bob
