The highly customizable Harlequin PLUS Host Renderer SDK is based on Global Graphics’ new Raster Image Processor (RIP) architecture, and can be utilized in building a variety of solutions, including:

As a filter for use in an XPSdrv filter pipeline. It is optimized for use within the print pipeline environment and can be configured to support a wide range of raster driven devices
As a renderer that can be linked or loaded into an OEM provided, host-based tool for printing on premium output devices, such as wide- and grand-format and digital production printers
For creation of thumbnails and previews for document and asset management systems, and for placement of partial page files in page design applications.

Implementation options range from a simple rasterization service, providing full frame contone raster, to more sophisticated operations where the RIP performs imposition, watermarking and color management and delivers tagged raster for subsequent processing.
