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.
The Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a flexible and adaptable image file format widely used in professional environments due to its ability to store high-quality images with rich detail. Developed by Aldus Corporation in 1986, TIFF files support various color spaces and compression methods, making them ideal for archival purposes, high-resolution scanning, and desktop publishing. Its versatility and robust metadata handling ensure that TIFF remains a staple in industries requiring precise image fidelity.
