Re-imagine what your printers can do
Introducing the Adobe Embedded Print Engine - the game-changing Raster Image Processor (RIP) technology for office printing! The Embedded Print Engine is not just a future-proof, next-generation RIP technology; it’s also your device-agnostic, one-stop print solution that delivers a consistent print experience from all print paths for all print jobs, regardless of source, type, or size. From resource-constrained A4 devices to A3 enterprise workgroup printers to entry-level large-format printers, you can comfortably embed it within any device. For your raster devices, you can deploy it as a cloud service (on AWS, Azure, or your preferred cloud).
Unlocking the power of native processing for all print formats (Page Description Languages), the Embedded Print Engine is your one-stop shop for all PDLs. Not only does it deliver a consistent print experience across all print paths, but it also enables your devices to be Apple AirPrint certified and Mopria-ready. Its best-in-class quality, performance, and resource utilization make it the go-to choice for leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide. It leverages the same Adobe core technology components used by other Adobe flagship applications to give end users a fully WYSIWYG print experience, ensuring that what one sees on-screen in Adobe Acrobat (the PDF gold standard) is faithfully replicated on paper. The Embedded Print Engine is rigorously field-tested and sets a new standard to meet the evolving demands of modern office printing. Welcome to the future of printing!

A Raster Image Processor (RIP) is a mission-critical software component in printing systems. When printing documents (typically containing text, photos, illustrations, and graphics), the first step is converting the document data into a format the printer can understand. This format is called a Page Description Language (PDL). The printer driver software generates the PDL file, including instructions for text placement, font selection, graphics rendering, color management, and more.
The RIP takes over after the PDL file has been sent for printing. As the brain of a printer, the RIP accepts the PDL input and generates a raster output (grid of dots) that the printer subsequently marks on paper. The rasterization process involves converting the document data (such as lines, curves, text, etc.) present in the PDL file into a raster image, representing how the final printed page will appear, with each pixel containing information about toner or ink color, intensity, and position.
The RIP ensures that the complexity and richness of the original design are faithfully reproduced in print. The RIP also orchestrates precise color and font management and navigates transparencies, halftoning, and more.
Adobe Embedded Print Engine is Adobe’s cutting-edge RIP technology for A4, A3, and entry-level large-format printers. It powers millions of printers worldwide across a diverse spectrum of device types and ensures that every print mirrors the quality and intent of the original design.
