What are PS files?

A PS file is an image file stored in the PostScript programming language. Containing text and images on the same page, this file type helped convert digital page layouts into printed works.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the format?

The PS format is a multimedia standard in the current world of digital content. And it shows the following advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

  • The print job will look exactly like what you designed.
  • You can scale the images within the file to any resolution without losing their quality.
  • It has a high quality of details, being sharper and preferable for printing than other PDLs.

Adobe programs such as Illustrator and Acrobat can successfully run a PS file.

Do printers still use Postscript?

Not all printers currently use PostScript, but all printers must have some sort of format for converting information into printed material.

What is the difference between PS and PCL?

PCL uses the printer hardware to perform its functions, so it is device-dependent. PostScript, on the other hand, is stand-alone and performs its functions without the need for hardware support.
