About MRW to PS Conversion
PostScript (PS) is Adobe's page description language used in professional printing and publishing. Converting Konica Minolta MRW RAW files to PostScript embeds legacy photographs in a print-ready format compatible with PostScript RIP systems, imagesetters, and traditional print production pipelines.
The MRW data is demosaiced from the Konica Minolta CCD sensor, color-corrected, and embedded within a PostScript page program. This conversion bridges the gap between a discontinued camera system's proprietary RAW format and the enduring PostScript print production standard.
Why Convert MRW to PS?
When legacy Konica Minolta photographs need to be printed through a professional PostScript-based print system — for exhibition prints, catalog reproductions, or archival print production — PostScript provides direct compatibility. This is a niche but important workflow for preserving Konica Minolta photography in physical form through professional print facilities.
PostScript is also useful for institutional print archives where documents are stored in PostScript format for long-term print-on-demand capability. Converting MRW to PS creates a self-contained print-ready file that can produce the photograph on any PostScript interpreter decades from now.
Common Use Cases
- Send Konica Minolta photographs to PostScript-compatible printers for exhibition-quality prints
- Prepare legacy Maxxum/Dynax captures for PostScript-based print production workflows
- Archive Konica Minolta photographs in PostScript format for institutional print-on-demand systems
- Include DiMAGE photographs in PostScript-based publishing and catalog layouts
- Generate print-ready PostScript pages from Konica Minolta RAW files for professional output
How It Works
The MRW file is decoded through LibRaw, demosaicing the Konica Minolta CCD Bayer pattern data and applying camera color corrections. The resulting image is embedded within a PostScript page structure using the image operator. Page dimensions are set to match the image aspect ratio at the specified DPI. At 6 MP, the PostScript page prints at approximately 10x6.7 inches at 300 DPI. Ghostscript handles the PostScript generation.
Quality & Performance
The image quality matches the demosaiced MRW output. PostScript supports JPEG-compressed or uncompressed image embedding. The 6 MP resolution limits print size to approximately 10x7 inches at 300 DPI for professional quality. The warm CCD color rendition of Konica Minolta cameras translates well to print through PostScript's color handling.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use PostScript only when your print system requires it — PDF is simpler for general printing
- 2The 6 MP resolution limits professional print size to approximately 10x7 inches at 300 DPI
- 3Test PostScript output with Ghostscript before sending to commercial print equipment
- 4PostScript files can be converted to PDF using ps2pdf (Ghostscript) if needed later
- 5For personal photo printing, JPEG or PDF is far more practical than PostScript
MRW to PS conversion provides a path to professional print production for legacy Konica Minolta photographs through PostScript-based printing systems.
