About DRF to PS Conversion
PostScript (PS) is Adobe's page description language for defining printed page content. Converting Kodak DRF consumer camera files to PostScript creates print-ready documents that can be sent to PostScript-compatible printers. While PostScript is primarily used in professional printing environments, this conversion is relevant when family photographs from Kodak EasyShare and Z-series cameras need to be printed on PostScript-based systems found in some print shops and institutional environments.
Most family photo printing today uses JPEG or PDF, but certain printing situations — office laser printers with PostScript RIPs, institutional print services, or specific large-format equipment — may accept or prefer PostScript input. When recovered Kodak consumer camera photographs need to enter these specific print pathways, this conversion provides the required format.
Why Convert DRF to PS?
PostScript remains the native language of certain printing systems, particularly laser printers and RIP systems in office and institutional environments. When family photographs from Kodak consumer cameras need to be printed at a workplace, school, or community center using PostScript-based equipment, this conversion provides compatible input.
PostScript also integrates with certain desktop publishing workflows used in community newsletters, church bulletins, school yearbooks, and local organization publications. If recovered Kodak family photographs need to be included in these types of publications using PostScript-based page layout tools, this conversion produces the required format.
Common Use Cases
- Print recovered Kodak EasyShare family photos on PostScript-equipped office and institutional printers
- Include Kodak consumer camera photographs in community newsletter layouts using PostScript production
- Prepare recovered family photos from DRF files for printing on PostScript RIP systems at local print shops
- Create PostScript files from Kodak consumer photos for inclusion in school yearbook or church bulletin publications
- Output Kodak EasyShare photographs to PostScript-based large-format printers for poster-size family prints
How It Works
The conversion demosaices the DRF sensor data to produce a full-color RGB image, then encodes it within a PostScript Level 2 or Level 3 document. The photographic data is JPEG-compressed within the PostScript wrapper for practical file sizes. Page dimensions default to the image's native aspect ratio at 300 DPI. Consumer Kodak cameras at 8-14 MP produce adequately sized PostScript files for standard print sizes.
Quality & Performance
Image quality within the PostScript file depends on compression settings for the embedded raster data. At high quality, the embedded Kodak consumer photograph is equivalent to a high-quality JPEG. The PostScript page description ensures correct sizing on the target printer. Consumer camera resolutions support good quality prints at standard photo sizes (4x6, 5x7, 8x10 inches).

Tips for Best Results
- 1For most family photo printing, use PDF or JPEG instead — PostScript is only needed for specific printing systems
- 2Preview with Ghostscript before printing to verify image placement and color
- 3Consumer camera resolutions support standard family photo print sizes at good quality
- 4For desktop publishing workflows, EPS may be more appropriate than full PostScript
- 5Verify the target printer's PostScript compatibility before converting — many modern printers use PDF-based RIP instead
DRF to PostScript is a specialized conversion for situations where recovered Kodak consumer camera photos need to be printed on PostScript-based systems. For most family photo printing, PDF or JPEG is more practical, but PostScript serves specific institutional and desktop publishing workflows.
