Digital BW, The Print

Hello Michael,

>My question still stands, will the ImagePrint or StudioPrint RIPS 
>make "better" black and white prints with the Epson 4800?

I have a 2400, and via print exchanges over the past few years have
seen prints from just about every system out there.  Based on this
experience, IMO the K3 printers are producing as good as anything I've
seen so far that uses color inks.  I think that if there were any
improvements to be had with a RIP, there would be some question as to
whether the degree of difference would be worth the extra time, hassle
and expense.  

On the other hand, it is also possible that these printers might have
some advantage (either aesthetic or in longevity) if they were using
grayscale inks, in which case it might require a RIP to control them.
Just food for thought.

One thing is for sure, nobody is going to turn up their nose at what
your 4800 can produce right now, so count your blessings <g>.


Regards,
Clayton
