| Description | 🔵 The open XML paper specification is known as XPS and is a structured XML markup used to dictate how document pages are displayed. This markup language is a subset of XAML, allowing for the inclusion of vector graphics in documents. Microsoft developed XPS with the goal of providing an alternative to PDF. This file format has been adopted as an international standard by Ecma International under ECMA-388. |
| Technical details | 🔵 XPS is a subset of XAML, consisting of structured markup used to define the appearance of a document for distribution, storage, development, and printing purposes. XAML allows users to incorporate vector graphics elements easily, as their description is informal and straightforward. Raster images support high-definition images, preventing the appearance of artifacts and reducing the workload on computer processes. Operating systems include print spooler formats with the capability to print from printers that are not XPS-aware, resulting in lower quality images compared to those that are XPS-aware. Supported features of XPS files include printing arrangements, color gradients, transparency, calibrated printers, CMYK color spaces, and various ink systems. |

| Description | 🔵 Files with the .ps extension were created between 1982 and 1984 by Doug Brotz, Bill Paxton, John Warnock, Ed Taft, Charles Geschke at Adobe Systems. Publishers commonly use PS files for their electronic and desktop publishing business. Before the creation of the PostScript format, it seemed impossible to print text and images on a single page, as we do today. PostScript files made it possible for applications to communicate with printers, allowing them to display both text and images simultaneously on a single page. The Apple LaserWriter, released in March 1985, was the first printer to support the PostScript format, which helped printing technologies overcome the text-image obstacle and revolutionized the publishing business. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Postscript was initially conceptualized as a computer programming language by John Gaffney; the file format was later developed. PostScript files are mostly created with applications like Adobe Acrobat or Quark Express. Though new file formats with similar and improved functionalities have been created since PostScript, it is still supported by recent printer technologies, so the hardware manufacturer includes the device driver software structure. The average PS file functions more like a GPS, providing instructions that give the coordinates necessary for printheads to accurately print each pixel of a character in the correct location. |
