Digital BW, The Print

Hello All,

I am working with an associate who I helped over 2 years ago, I had set up the
Bowhaus Rip using Cone Piezotone inks on a 9600. He has had good functionality
and results. I have been given the task of re-linerizing and retuning. Given the lapse
of time are there others in the printing community that have experience and knowledge
with this type of set up? 

Cone still does not officially recommend the Bowhaus Rip, but privately says that it
can do the job. The only other is StudioPrint, which I had and used some years back.
My client needs the simpler functionality  and lower price of Bowhaus.

I would welcome any suggestions and contact either on line or off line. Also we would
be willing to pay for someone's contribution.

Even though I have been a bit distant from the printing business these past years, I
have continued to read and enjoy this site, and the generally high standard of
discourse.

Thank you, Tom

I would contact Bowhaus-
http://www.bowhaus.com/index.php4

there are some links on their site that indicate the product may still have some support, as well as a newer product called True Black and White that seems an evolution from IJC/OPM.
If all you need is input about relinearizing it seems least problematic to me to not switch software at this point.

 Thank you for the help. It is not the linerizing that is the issue, it is the fact that a few years ago when I set this up, I was the only person on the planet that needed to partition
a 9600 for Cone quad inks (3 WN and 3 Selenium carts). Even with the modest help from Bowhaus I had to invent curves and recipes that were a bit beyond my skill set. I had some
help from a Scott King in Austin that was the most effective. 

So I am looking out to the horizon for any person with similar experiences.I hope this
all makes sense.

The journey continues, thanks, Tom

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.
