Abstract
Systems and methods for optimizing raster image process (RIP) pipeline data throughput are described. The RIP pipeline includes multiple RIP engines. In one aspect, a print job is divided into multiple partitions. The multiple partitions are at least as numerous as the number of RIP engines in the pipeline. A respective partition is distributed to each of the multiple print engines for processing into raster data. The raster data is printable by a printing device.
