Digital BW, The Print

Antonis/Joe,

FYI...I sent Bowhaus very similar questions a couple of days ago, but haven't heard a peep. It appears that this software company, as are many others nowadays, are simply not interested in the customer! I really cannot understand how these people stay in business. As the deadline is nearly upon us--tomorrow--it appears that Bowhaus will not be seeing my $179!

I am still thankful for the very complete answer by Antonis to my prior post. Perhaps, someday I will look at IJC/OPM again, but, for now, I'll be sticking with ImagePrint.
