I downloaded the demo of this RIP and will be setting it up in the next few days for both my 2200 and eventually the 9600. It looks interesting -- I imagine that, like ImagePrint, I would use it primamrily for B&W if I get it, as I'm satisfied w. the color images from Ultrachrome printers. Any current users have any feedback on it generally? Specifically, I found this statement on their website to be interesting: "ColorBurst utilizes Total Ink Limit and Black Preservation in pre-configured environments [note: they call profiles "environments."] The Black Preservation feature allows ColorBurst to achieve a deep rich black by not limiting the Black channel in relation to the Total Ink Limit. This feature enables users to get a great black with Epson's Photo Black cartridge even on Matte and Fine Art papers. " Is this actually true? I thought the photo black/matte black switching was necessary not only b/c of better blacks when using photo black w. glossy and matte black w. matte papers, but also because of "adherence" problems -- i.e., that using photo black ink on matte paper will result in "ruboff." (Or, is it only using matte black on glossy papers that will reuslt in ruboff? I assumed the problem ran in both directions...) Thoughts on this RIP generally or on the quote above?
