Digital BW, The Print

I would add though that if using a Mac, it is well worth investing a little
time and setting up QTR first.  The RIP, thanks to Roy¹s generosity, costs
$0 and produces fantastic B&W prints with OEM inks let alone, say, MIS UTs.
Imageprint is severely mis-priced, even at $395 + tax (outside of the US it
is simply insulting), particularly when compared to the cost of the printer,
PS or even a low-end Mac to run QTR!  I agree that if you have no choice as
a PC user it gets the job done but it is unique in its ability to extract a
heavy premium for doing so.

I think you can still get it for $100 off if you order a bunch of paper at
the same time as well - so order the Imageprint and say $100 worth of Photo
Rag
