Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
A bitmap automatically removes any gray, so no soft edge. However, try increasing the resolution of your image before you change to bitmap, for instance, 1200 ppi, and though you'll still have a "stair step" they'll be so small you can't see them. Steve
I'm having a difficulty with the terms RIP and Bitmap used together. Don't they step on or tend to cancel out each other? What do I know, lol. My output from PS goes straight to a Postscript file for printing.

Some artwork just works and looks better (and is faster to separate) with a rasterized edge. Wondering if any printers out there print through their RIP with a soft, rasterized edge, but it's looking like higher dpi or vector are my only two options
