For the record, I am a Mac user as well.  I have never used a PC in my office until I 
began this company.  I prefer the Mac for most of what I do, short of RIP'ing files and 
playing solitaire.

I wouldn't have a PC to this day either if RIP'ing files, plain and simple, wasn't best 
done on a) a separate workstation from your creative workstation, and b) a Windows 
operating system.  Windows is not my idea of elegant but, like you said, better that 
second workstation be cheap, productive and easily available.  I well sleep at night 
(sometimes) by recognizing the PC as the best tool for that particular job, period.

Regarding your requirement for a 2200 driver, I am still looking into the possibility of 
adding our screening for the 2200, thereby taking control of the individual ink 
channels and I will get back to you as soon as I have some information.  Until then, if 
you become impatient with my efforts and would like to contact me offline, I would 
encourage you to do so.

Cheers,

Robert
