Digital BW, The Print

It's a great printer and you really won't know if it will work out 
until you get it and put some effort into it.  Further, it isn't a 
dead-end.  Even if you do end up needing a RIP, you don't have to get 
Imageprint, there are others and you should definitely try the demos 
before buying the most expensive one.

have fun!!!!
