Digital BW, The Print

HFL, Don't really have an answer for you, but as the printers get older,
there is less and less chance that drivers, variety of ink sets and etc,
will be available for them. The fisherman needs to go where the fish are to
eat, so do the suppliers.

Subject: [Digital BW] OS X+CS2+Epson1160 ???

 

I recently came back to B&W printing after a 2 year hiatus. My previous
system consisted of a 
Mac OS 9 machine, MIS quadtone CFS inks, PS 7, 22" CRT and an Epson 1160
(still in perfect 
working order.)

I'm now using OS X on a G4 PB with CS2 and MIS UT cartridges to get started.
Initial results 
were terrible. But thanks to Paul Roark, who developed the software for the
UT inks, I 
discovered the problem to be the GIMP driver for the 1160. Epson never
upgraded their 
1160 driver for OS X. Now, in order to print, I have to take the file back
to the older machine 
and reopen it in PS 7. Nor a happy situation.

What are my options? Upgrade the printer, change ink supplier, transfer
files back and forth 
between machines or what?

Any and all advice appreciated.

HFL
