Re: [Digital BW] inks

Tom,

ImagePrint 4 is developed and sold by Colorbyte Software in Tampa.  I have no affiliation other than I purchased their product for my Epson 10000 in my office for color presentation work. As a result of it supporting the Piezo Inkset, I am using it on my 7000 as well with the MIS FS inks.

www.colorbytesoftware.com

BTW, they just released a MAC version and are releasing a desktop printer version.

When I compare prints made with the Piezo inks with the Piezo software vs. the IP4 RIP the blacks are blacker. I also compared the prints made with the Piezo Software and the IP4 RIP with MIS FS inks, the blacks also had increased density.

I think the RIP controls the ink channels to maximize the density. I am at a loss of how as I am not familiar with the RIP control process.

  Mike,  I am unfamiliar with ImagePrint 4.  Who makes it?

  Also, you weren't quite clear with what ink you get those wonderful blacks.  
  Was it with the peizo or MIS FS inks?  How does IP4 do this, more black ink?  
  Additional ink from the CMY position inks?
