Digital BW, The Print

If I am not mistaken there is only $95 difference between the Epson 
RIP and IP5.5.  The Epson sells for $200 and the IP5.5 LE sells for 
$295.  I have IP5.5 and there is no comparison between it and the 
standard Epson driver.  I have never used the Epson RIP so am not 
familiar with it.  From what I have read the IP RIP does a much 
better job when compared to the Epson RIP.
