Convert PCL to EPSI

The PCL file extension, Printer Command Language, is a page description language developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in the 1980s. It is used to control printer features and describe the layout of text and graphics on a printed page. PCL files contain commands that instruct the printer on how to print the document, including details like size, layout, and resolution. Initially designed for HP's inkjet and dot matrix printers, PCL has evolved to support various printer types, including laser printers. Its simplicity and efficiency have made it a widely adopted standard in the printing industry.

EPSI, standing for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange, is a file extension used primarily in the printing and graphic design industries. It stores PostScript data along with a low-resolution preview in bitmap format, facilitating the visualization of graphic content in layout applications without needing to interpret the complex PostScript code. Introduced in the 1980s by Adobe Systems, EPSI files serve as a bridge between different software applications, ensuring consistent and high-quality output in various publishing workflows. Their efficiency and adaptability have made them a standard for exchange of graphic data in professional environments.
