Dear Friends,
I have been very frustrated with my "first step" toward ColorSync
implementation: namely, finding a PostScript software RIP to use on
my standalone Macintosh G3.
I have an Epson 1520 (should still be serviceable) and have tried
Birmy version 2 and Epson Stylus RIP (which I suspect are pretty much
the same RIP with a different interface). Neither of them will
simulate overprinted colors, and both are generally just clumsy to
use, memory, and OS hogs. I have been reading pretty bad things about
PressReady. I would prefer not to use up a USB port with the dongle I
understand the new Birmy requires. Whew!
I don't think there is a PostScript card for my Epson 1520. Is
there any reasonable way to proof PostScript-requiring jobs to that
machine? (By this I mean the typical XPress or Illustrator file that
have EPS images placed in them.)
Thanks for any advice.
