Re: Good RIP for the Epson 2200??

2006-04-16 by Nick H. Nugent

I have used Wasatch SoftRIP for almost a year now but only on my HP
Designjet 30 which is the smallest HP printer they support. I
purchased it so I can use more media on the HP that Epson can support
rather easily.

Wasatch can produce amazing results but the learning curve can be
steep.  Since my printer profiling solution is an RGB only Gretag i1
Photo, Wasatch definitely came to the rescue when I tried to use some
of my favorite Epson media on the HP.

With Wasatch I get significantly better results than even HP's own
paper/ink combination which is already pretty amazing. This I didn't
realize after I "successfully" made a profile via Wasatch and placed
the prints side by side.

Wasatch's power is in its separation rules engine which allows you to
perform very sophisticated ink limitting. But it was this rules engine
that took me a long time to learn.

Will Wasatch work with the Epson 2200? I don't know. Will I recommend
Wasatch? I'm hesitant as I know it has a VERY steep learning curve.
But armed with Wasatch I know I'm getting the kind of output that
otherwise would be impossible.
