Print file and memory requirements are larger.

(This most beneficial when used for printing drafts on one printer then sending out to a printing company for production.)

The same print file should print identically on two or more different print devices.

Graphical objects are often more detailed.

Specifically, the graphic objects will be consistent and in some cases of higher quality than PCL.

This allow the output to be consistent when printed on more than one type of printer or print device. This means that the PostScript language creates all of the print data and does not rely on the printer for print data.

Unlike PCL, PostScript is device independent.

PostScript 3 includes many enhancements to older versions of PostScript, including improved image quality and color.

It is a device-independent page description language developed by Adobe, which is used to print and display pictures and text. It is used heavily in Macintosh platforms and for graphic applications in several platforms. PostScript language, or PS, is a common printing language also used widely by many different printer manufacturers. For additional information about PS, contact your sales representative. Note: PostScript (PS) may be a purchasable option on some devices.

Not supported in most Macintosh environments.

Quality of graphics is dependent on the print device.

The same print job on two different printers may vary slightly.

Widely supported in many different operating system platforms.

Individual printers may perform these tasks differently giving you a slightly different output.The printer is then responsible to complete the creation and processing of page data.

This allows the computer to process the print job quickly and efficiently. This means that the drivers for this language utilize the printer hardware for creating some of the printed data, usually graphics data such as fill areas, underlines or fonts. PCL is supported by many different operating systems which allows for the same printer to work in many different environments. Printer Control Language, or PCL, is a common printing language used widely by many different printer manufacturers. NOTE: PCL is a trademark of the Hewlett-Packard Company.
