Digital BW, The Print

Tyler, thanks for the endorsement.

Richard, we've been using IJC/OPM for a couple years now are are very, very happy the 
results.  

At the time we selected IJC/OPM the only other serious option, IMO, was StudioPrint.  We 
are a ColorBurst shop for our color work so adding the expense of another full featured 
RIP was not desirable.  Compared to QTR, IJC/OPM offered more select control over each 
channel via a more intuitive (but not perfect) user interface.  For what it does, the UI is 
actually better than StudioPrint, again IMO.  All that said, the real quicker for me is the 
transfer curves are applied in 16 bit.  

At the time I did the selection, QTR was applying transfer curves in 8 bit.  I haven't looked 
at QTR in a couple of years so that difference may no longer exist.  We do have a license 
for QTR and use the utilities for creating soft-proof profiles of our IJC/OPM curves.

** Also let me say, just in case any person (troll or otherwise) wishes to engage in 
argument about the merits of 16 bit vs. 8 bit curves, I will not participate. **

We will probably purchase a Canon printer in the near future and I look forward to using 
the newest beta of  "True Black and White".  It's the latest iteration of BowHaus work.  If 
you haven't seen it, check it out... http://www.trueblackandwhite.com/

With IJC/OPM we push K7 inks through a 7600.  Have also used it for a 2200.  Neutral, 
Sepia, split... it don't matta'.  What ever you want, with the splits and blends where ever 
you want.  IJC/OPM can do it.
