It is the worlds best color envelope printerWhat printer driver should I use The issue between PCL and Post. Script is very specific to which software and printer combination is used. On some printers, PCL is better than Post.

PostScript became commercially successful due to the introduction of the graphical user interface, allowing designers to directly lay out pages for eventual output on. Download free trials and updates for Adobe products including Creative Cloud, Photoshop CC, InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, Acrobat Pro DC, and many more. Script and on others, the reverse applies. Some printers like the HP Laser. Jet 5 Color and many others have an add on module that fits in one of the SIMM slots that provides Post. Script support. Yet other printers have factory built in support. Sending a Post. Script file to the printer produces fairly high quality output that is very predictable. On the other hand, the software on the PCMACX computer or whatever the source of the Post. Script is becomes the wild card here. At some point, there has to be a conversion from whatever your document is to Post. Script unless the document is already in Post. Script, and even in this case there are issues. This conversion to Post. Script is a HUGE problem. Some software usually Windows printer drivers simply convert whatever document that you have to a bitmap and embed the bitmap in a Post. Script file and sends this to the printer. This is a huge waste of space in all respects, and it completely goes around whatever advantage that Post. Script offers. Post. Script is a layout language that can layout vector and bitmap items. If you have a text document, the location of the text, font, and other details are described, and the raw text is sent to the printer. The Post. Script engine in the printer is aware if the physical layout of the printer and renders the output in a way that is likely to produce good output taking the actual printer hardware into account. If your printer driver takes whatever text is in your document and renders this as a bitmap and then puts this bitmap into a Post. Script file, then your printer is simply printing a bitmap. This creates a problem When you are printing bitmaps there are specific optimisations that the printer will use to make bitmaps look nice, in most cases, these optimisations are different than the ones that will be used for text, so the end result is usually non optimal. So to make sense of everything, the following issues have to be considered How good is the software that converts your document to PCL or Post. Script How good is the PCL or Post. Script support of your printer Which combination works best for my specific computerprinter combination. The answers for these questions is quite often not black or white. And to make things worse, some printers that have poor PCL quality might actually make nicer looking documents in PCL because the PCL converter on the computer puts in specific fixups or work arounds for problems with PCL on a specific printer, or the reverse with Post. Script. Then there is yet another issue. Some printers claim to support Post. Script, and in reality, there is no Post. Script support whatsoever The printer vendors claim support for Post. Script based on that their printer driver that runs on the computer can convert Post. Script to whatever language the printer speaksMy personal approach is to use Post. Script when ever possible. Generally, I wont buy a printer unless I know it has good support for Post. Script, and I am talking about the actual printer, not about software that runs on the PC to convert Post. Script to some other format that the printer uses. Post. Script is a well established standard format, that is going to be around for a while, and sending the EXACT same postscript file to any random printer that supports Post. Script is likely to produce acceptable output. The down side to this is that such printers are usually more expensive, and require more memory than other methods. However the price is well worth the time saved fighting with drivers, and also, if there is a problem with the Post. Failed To Process Phase Install Of Deployment Calculator. Script converter on the PC side, it is ONE thing to fix and the fix works on every printer. You could probably do the same thing with PCL, but this is not as clean as doing things with Post. Script because PCL usually involves printer specific commands and sending the same PCL file to different printers is more likely to produce the wrong results than with Post. Script. Also, some PCL drivers tend to have huge libraries of work arounds that are printer specific, so it is not so easy to sent the same PCL file to different printers and expect the same output. This also means that if you have a very old PCL printer, who ever made the printer is less likely to release fixes for the older printers, and only issue PCL fixes for later models. This is generally not the case with Post. Script, as a single fix to the Post. Script software would effect all printers regardless of who made them or their age. There have been other posts to this thread that are wrong. First off, True Type fonts are vector outline fonts, very similar to Type. This generally makes True Type fonts look better than Type. It all comes down to the quality of the software that renders the fonts more than the actual format of the font. I have seen True Type font software that is so badly designed that it renders the fonts at a fixed size and then scales the output for display. It all comes down to the quality of the rendering software much more than the format that the font is in. This only applies to vectoroutline fonts, bitmap fonts are an entirely different issue. The point here is that PCL and Post. Script are both standards that many printer manufacturers have adopted. Depending on how well the manufacture wrote the specific implementation will determine how well the printer will work with a given standard. There are also many proprietary printer languages that are printer specific. In my opinion, non standard printer languages are to be completely avoided when ever possible The reason is that non standard languages are often not documented, and when the company comes up with a new one, support for the old one is likely to be discontinued. So when you upgrade or change the OS on your computer and there is no driver that works with your printerOS combination, you now have a door stop. One other reason is that nobody has ever been able to demonstrate that a proprietary printer language has any real printing quality advantage over PCL or Post. Script, so there is no reason whatsoever other than saving hardware cost on the printer, which now days is pointless because computing power is so cheap.
