Re: RE IMAGEPRINT EXPERIENCES

2003-09-24 by Patrick Cook

This is not the case. ImagePrint does not "demand" that you store 
files in RGB. I send 16 bit greyscale files to ImagePrint for B&W 
printing - no color casts this way.

With regard to the "difficult" install, I'm in the habit of 
rebuilding my PC every 3 months or so and have to reinstall 
ImagePrint every time. I've never had a problem.
