		As the name implies, DPS uses the PostScript (PS) imaging model and language to generate on-screen graphics.
		While early versions of PostScript display systems were developed at Adobe, the full implementation of Display PostScript was developed by NeXT in cooperation with Adobe Systems, and made an official Adobe product with its own standards, documents and licensing requirements.
		The new system, known as Quartz, is based on the PDF model in which the source of the image is not the PostScript code itself, but the result of interpreting that code.

	PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PostScript Level 2 was introduced in 1991, and included several improvements: improved speed and reliability, support for in-RIP separations, image decompression (for example, JPEG images could be accessed directly by a PostScript program), support for composite fonts, and the form mechanism for caching reusable content.
		PostScript is also noteworthy for implementing on-the fly rasterization; everything, even text, is specified in terms of straight lines and cubic Bézier curves (previously found only in CAD applications), which allows arbitrary scaling, rotating and other transformations.
		When printed to a PostScript output device, the unneeded parts of the OpenType font are omitted, and what is sent to the device by the driver is the same as it would be for a TrueType or Type 1 font, depending on which kind of outlines were present in the OpenType font.

	What is PostScript? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		PostScript is primarily a language for printing documents on laser printers, but it can be adapted to produce images on other types of devices.
		PostScript is the standard for desktop publishing because it is supported by imagesetters, the very high-resolution printers used by service bureaus to produce camera-ready copy.
		PostScript is an object-oriented language, meaning that it treats images, including fonts, as collections of geometrical objects rather than as bit maps.

	PostScript Tutorial
		Postscript is a programming language that was designed to specify the layout of the printed page.
		Postscript files are (generally) plain text files and as such they can easily be generated by hand or as the output of user written programs.
		Postscript uses a coordinate system that is device independent, that is, it doesn't rely on the resolution, paper size, etc of the final output device.

	The history of PostScript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The history of PostScript starts at Parc, the research institute of Xerox, where many of the computer technologies we now take for granted were developed: the laser printer, the graphical user interface and ethernet are some prime examples.
		PostScript was a pretty big gamble for Adobe and they might have failed to convince the market of its value if it hadn't been for Steve Jobs from Apple Computer.
		Improved support for in-rip separation: PostScript level 2 RIPs are already capable of performing a colour separation in the RIP itself, but some types of images like duotones or hexachrome images could not be handled in such a workflow.

	What is PostScript? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		PostScript is a programming language optimized for printing graphics and text (whether on paper, film, or CRT is immaterial).
		The main purpose of PostScript was to provide a convenient language in which to describe images in a device independent manner.
		In practice, some PostScript files do make assumptions about the target device (such as its resolution or the number of paper trays it has), but this is bad practice and limits portability.

		PostScript files are text files containing the PostScript commands for drawing images to be printed on pages.
		Give as arguments the name of the PostScript file to read from and the name to use for the output file; it reads the contents of the first, rearranges the pages, and then writes the PostScript output to the second file.

		Proper encapsulated postscript files are likely to produce a blank page when sent to a printer.
		Changes made to the printing system in summer 2002 mean that some postscript files which are non-standard may now not print out at all.
		Problems arise when a postscript file does its own rotating in a faulty way and has the "%%Orientation: Landscape" line - with the old system there wasn't a problem but now the already rotated file is rotated again and often just a blank page comes out.
