Digital BW, The Print

Tom-

I have IP licenses for 2200 and 4000. It works great...but there is 
no question it IS klunky. But why? because Colorbyte Software is a 
very small company and they have limited development resources; so 
where do we want them to use the development time? more cool 
features? more paper profiles (last count there were about 150 "free" 
paper profiles that get updated and added to regularly)? or simpler 
UI? I want it all, too, but you must have patience, grasshopper...

As far as I know (would love to know if I'm wrong), this is the best 
solution available at any price for PC users. Expensive? all depends 
on how much time and material you waste making "trial" prints without 
a RIP...and how many prints you make overall...or how badly you want 
to improve your print...

Anyhow, my biggest fear is that some large company (Epson or whoever) 
will bring out a product that does a half assed job and puts 
colorbyte out of business and we never do see the perfect RIP !!!

cheers,

Tom O'Connell

if IP is such a bad product, don't put your money on the table to buy 
it.  I did, am I'm quite happy with it.  It's not perfect, but I 
don't know that I'd call it clunky.  And, look around, it's not 
anywhere near being among the worst designed pieces of software 
available.
