[X Newbies] epson RIP questions?

[David Miller]

Skip,

The ImagePrint RIP from ColorByte is renowned for its accuracy with 
Epson printers and papers. They have a driver for the 4000 available 
now. I have not used it yet (will be getting it when my 4000 arrives!) 
but it has been well reviewed at professional photographer sites 
(Michael Reichman's luminous-landscape.com). Introductory price for the 
RIP for the 4000 is $900 (raster-only, no postscript). Reichman's 
review of the 4000 is up and he says that the profiles that come with 
the printer are very good. Doubtless, outfits like Digital Outback 
Photo will have custom profiles for the 4000 and specific papers at a 
much lower price (about $100 per I would guess) if you are willing to 
use Epson's driver instead of a third-party RIP.
