Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

First of all, this product is not the equivalent of IJC/OPM.  There is no feature for 
controlling the how the partitions overlap that I'm aware or.  Nobody claims that as far as 
I know.  There are many features I haven't explored yet, and there may be some 
capability there. I'm not particularly interested in dueling here, perhaps you should get 
yourself a demo and try it out, it's only $4.95 for shipping...

I'm not sure about that yet. You can definitely do split toning, and there may be a way to 
control the percentages of inks in the profiles, but I haven't discovered it yet.

Jon once stated that it alternated.  In any event it uses ink from those positions at equal 
rates. Perhaps this is a question for him...

7000 and 9000. No limits on paper sizes, you can mix images on layouts, resize by 
dragging corner handles, apply brightness, contrast and loaded curves separately to 
each one.  Lots of RIP-style bells and whistles, the interface is quite superb.

Also, as expected, it linearized both my printers to the exact same output.  Prints from 
either are identical as far as I can see, inkset variances aside.

Haven't run across that yet.  I'm still trying to figure out how to print my ProRIP legacy 
files.
