R200, Media Street Quadtone Inks, Quad RIP

2006-02-14 by Clarence Walker

Have set up the R200 & Media Street Inks.

I have just loaded Media Street Quadtone Inks and a new/refurbished Epson
R200 as well as the Quadtone RIP software. Per Media Street, I then loaded
the standard Epson Drivers.  When using the normal PhotoShop print routine
the Epson gives a message that the wrong ink cartridges are installed. In
running the RIP program, it recognizes the R200, but the print button is not
highlighted so it will not print. What is missing?

As an aside, I am not at all impressed with the customer support from media
street. How does their quad tone offering compare with others in image
quality, such as those by Cone? I want to get this one working and a clear
understanding of the tradeoffs in "systems" before purchasing just another
printer and ink set. Obviously, the quadtone name is widely used and I would
expect considerable differences between the Media Street quadtones and those
of the Piezo/Platinum/Metallic quadtones such as Cone's, OR NOT??

So, my objective is to first get this sytem up and working and then make the
step up to the next level. This is something of a learning curve and I am
experiencing some confusion with the marketing verbiage.
