Re: 2400 vs. 2200 w/ ImagePrint 5.6

2005-11-08 by Louis Dina

I can't see any reason to use ImagePrint for B&W or Color.  For color 
work, you can get better gamut and Dmax with the Epson driver and a 
custom profile, and for B&W, QTR, IJC/OPM or other solutions will 
give better output.  IP doesn't allow any control over ink limits and 
lineatization.  It is also expensive for what you get, and a license 
only covers usage with a single printer model.  There are better, 
less expensive options out there.  

I'd definitely go with the 2400 if it was a choice between the two.
