PostScript basics

PostScript is a page description language, a protocol that is used to communicate between applications (like QuarkXPress, or MS Word) and output devices, like laser printer or imagesetters, that are equipped with a PostScript interpreter. PostScript can also be used to exchange data between applications themselves and it forms the basis of the PDF file format.

If you are a programmer or want to delve a little deeper, you will also find an interesting introduction to PostScript on this site.
