Re: Those using Bowhaus Rip with QuadTone Inks, any out there?

2009-07-25 by Tyler Boley

Scott is still at K2 as far as I know, perhaps he'd be willing to consult you. StudioPrint is great, but an expensive option considering you already have software. Also, Epson has locked multi density K support out of the RIPs for newest models, so StudioPrint may have a limited life for this kind of work. I use it and love it, but intend to limp along usable version Epsons for as many years as possible.
There is QTR as well of course, same print engine as IJC/OPM, but since few are using it for 3rd party quad setups any more, you'd be back to square one getting it set up. Still, I don't think that would be too overwhelming, and Amadou has just written a new user guide. Of course the price is right.
