Robert - I can not answer the question about 1280 vs. 7000 quality yet because my 7000 has not yet arrived (expected any day now with the intention of running MIS FS inks w/ the IP RIP). I can provide some preliminary information regarding ImagePrint and the 1280. I am running a 1280 w/ Generations 4 inks. My testing is still in the early stages but I've compared output from the 1280 using Epson, ImagePrint and the Cone driver (despite color ink, an interesting diagnostic). Comparison is difficult because I'm using color inks for all and the IP RIP is not yet well profiled. However, I would say that the Epson driver is hard to beat for detailed color work because of its smoothness. With close examination, the dither pattern of the IP RIP and the Cone RIP are a bit more obvious. I think the nature of the IP Rip will make it easier to get a high quality color profile but I'm still undecided as to whether I'm going to build my color workflow around the Epson driver or the IP driver. Large prints might favor the IP driver (color mgt over dither), small prints might favor Epson. In addition, I'm using the IP on a Mac system and the IP Mac version is pretty new. I am discussing the dither issue w/ them to determine whether my IP results show the software at its best. I expect this dither issue to be much less important for quadtone on the 7000. I can't answer your comparison question directly but I would say that the 1280 is a pretty amazing printer. - Tom --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@y..., Robert Morrison <rmorrison@p...> wrote: > Mike, > > What are you running in the 1280?
