Digital BW, The Print

Cone Piezo24 uses a RIP. If you are printing big prints on a large format
printer you really need a printer dedicated to the printer. Also it has
benefits in allowing multiple smaller prints to be on a roll of paper. The
cone rip benefits from the profiles. However, I gues that if you use only
one or two kinds of paper, icq profile could be custom made. BTW FS really
is pretty close to ppiezo inks, slightly cooler, and you need to do a slight
curve action to reduce contrast on files done for piezo inks, but once you
have the monitor working space set up it is plug n play. The downside is
that you can't then moan to IJM tech support for problems! You pays yer
money and takes yer choice!
