Re: Before deciding to give QuadTone RIP 2.0 a run...questions

Yes, GIMP is a major conflict with Epson drivers, at least in some cases. I
know one where
an Epson rep was driven to formating a customers drive to get rid of them.
There is a
GIMP uninstaller on the web that worked for me, but I hear that it does not work
in all
cases, golly knows why.

Also if you do want to go ahead with GIMP, they are on the 10.3 CD's, #3 I think?  and you 
can just install them without reinstalling the OS.  You might even already have them by 
accident from the original install.  I did.
