Due to the size of the image to be processed is generally relatively large ( larger image size or even a few meters to reach tens of meters ) , consuming system resources, so in order to save processing time and improve efficiency with a high-performance computer is necessary. Recommended : P4 class CPU, 1GB DDR memory and 160GB more than the 7200rpm hard drive is required. Especially the hard drive capacity to fully leave room - there is an unwritten industry standard, that do a one square meter of the required figure in more than a dozen MB of hard disk space or even higher , this is the output resolution is set at 75dpi when the situation around . If you have the original text , it must increase output accuracy (eg 100dpi), then the required disk space is even greater. Of course, this is also used by the file format relationship (RGB or CMYK). Also taking into account the requirements of rendering images , graphics memory large enough (128MB DDR above ) , recommended 256MB DDR video memory , save rendering time , is to improve the work efficiency.
