Digital BW, The Print

How long ago did you get your demo?  Was it for mac or pc?  Just curious.
What printer were you using?  My best results by far are on the 7000.
Desktop support is brand new (at least for the mac)...I think I got the very
first copy.  So far I'd say that I favor Piezo for desktop...but the ability
to get profiles made is really attractive.  Imageprint has the definite
advantage of not being a plugin...and allows you to run multiple jobs
simultaneously...I've had three printers going with no significant
performance hit.  Both products have their usefulness...I'm certainly not
planning to sell my piezo license.  I think that the piezo plugin is
unbeatable as a way to get started in quad printing...but for power users I
think imageprint is worth a look.
