Don't know about Quad RIP, but I'm using the Bowhaus driver for UT in my 
2200. It's mac only and they have an improved OS10 version that I like a lot. 
Having said that, there are not a lot of ready made profiles for this yet, and I 
have not mastered the art of creating my own.

I have not had the kind of clog problems with UT that I had with Piezography 
where I actually wound up putting my old 1200 out with bulk trash. In fairness 
to Piez, they may have solved these problems or mine might have been an 
anomaly. I'd suggest you monitor posts in both forums to see how many 
people are having head clog problems.

My feeling is that they're pretty accurate, however I'm not particularly happy 
about the productivity. I don't think I'm getting a lot of prints for my money.

I switch back and forth and typically do 2 cleanings. Probably could get by 
without, but why take the chance.
