Digital BW, The Print

Hello

Several months ago I experimented with iproof's PowerRIP on the Mac (V6 -
but the version without 2100 support) and was not terribly impressed with
the print quality on an 1160. After getting little response from this group
I queried the UK academic Mac-supporters group. One user said that they had
found it handled odd postscript very well, but the screening was rather poor
for images -- but for huge posters viewed from some distance it was fine.

I asked the UK distributor about this and they agreed that it was for
proofing and not really meant for photo work.

The web site suggests that there is a whole new version for OS X. Has anyone
tried it? It is available as a demo version
<http://www.iproofsystems.com/PowerRIPX/PowerRIPXhomepage.htm>, which I've
downloaded, but not yet tried.

Incidentally their demo versions come with numerous profiles, documentation
and ppd's that people might find of interest.

Any comments appreciated

bye for now
