Sorry Scott,
I missunderstood you, you talked about our new ScreenProof Solution. For
this it is right, at this moment, we don't support the Epson5500. Please let
me try to explain why. We don't simulate the Screen, we use the original
Screening of the Imiagesetter (Platesetter)RIP. there is no descreening and
rescreening with lower resolution you don't loose any information. You see,
we need the original 1-BIT Files for the Imagesetter and I think the most
Image/Platesetters are now biger than A3+.
Ulf
