Digital BW, The Print

i would also like to add that it has been claimed that this is the only 
rip in the industry that is more than 8 bits.

Almost all large format service-burea-type printers of the past use 
dedicated "hardware" rips so their decision to use a pc rip is not 
unheard of. It will communicate with macs just fine and allows you to 
leave them free for the photoshop work. I am a mac person myself and 
personally would have programmed it for a mac but then the pc people 
would be yelling even louder.

Also, in comparison, many rips out there cost many thousands of dollars 
and I am sure Jon Cone would put his rip up there with the best of 
them.
