Simulation of Raster Image Processor in DTP and Digital Printing System

By recording and measuring a real RIP and digital printing system a sohastic model has been created. The distribution of RIP process time and size of bitmapped files has been defined. Waiting lines have been defined with respect to the number of serving channels and pertaining disciplines of serving in the model. Simulation experiments enable research and optimization of information flow. For all variants of the model the result are given in graphic form with accompanying analysis.
