Hello Tim,

>is there a source for definitions of some acronyms you are using?  
>Such as the RIP term.  Not exactly sure of its definition.
 
RIP = Raster Image Processor - software that is used instead of the
standard printer driver.  Allows controlling each individual ink. 
Puts you in control of things.

QTR = Quadtone Rip, a popular and inexpensive rip ($50).
IJC/OPM = another Rip, mid priced ($250 I think)
IP = Image Print, expensive Rip, ($495 I think, and up for larger
printers) 

EEM = Epson Enhanced Matte
PR = Photo Rag

These are some of the common ones, anyone want to add to the list?


Regards,
Clayton
