Funny dual meaning here. "The RIP" (pronounced as a word) is what they called the PostScript unit on a high end imagesetter like a Linotronic or Agfa. It stands for Raster Image Processor.
John was a good dude. Brilliant, and the type of leader that was good to work for as an engineer, because he believed the engineering was the point of it all.

The story I always heard about Illustrator is that it started out as a program he wrote for her to make editing PostScript art easier. She also designed the original green Adobe logo, which the current red A logo is derived from.

It stands for Raster Image Processor. I'm happy to say the usage lives on in RIPs small and big, from wide format printers to digital offset presses.
