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.
