Re: PowerRIP. What is it? Request Settings for 1280!

2003-02-19 by danielstaver <daniel@petraflux.com>

I haven't seen banding in any of the prints I've made on my 2100, but
I don't really see why anoyone would want to use it on another printer
either, since the only useful thing it does is to get rid of
metamerism om the 2100 - if you're don't need Postscript that is. And
if it's really true that the Epson RIP produces prints free of
metamerism that is probably the better (and cheaper) choice.
