Hello,
Please feel free to evaluate our package by downloading it from our web site,
if you feel comfortable by evaluating a RIP package on Linux... On Epson,
we use our stochastic screen to obtain great result when it comes to
imaging. Our pricing is modular and it depends on which package you decide
for. The most common package used for RIP purposes is VisualRIP.
As we are ICC compliant, YES we can use third party ICC profiles.
We also usually provide profiles for most printer manufacturer "official"
papers for free, and we design 5 specific profiles/per package for other
papers on request for free, with the sale of our solution. You can also create
your own profile if you wish to.
It cost only if you ask for one every two days... That is why we have to fix a
fee in order to calm down wild request for ICC profiles, because it can be
hard to design profiles all the time, especially when they are already
available with the solution...
I do not think we have less profiles than Wasatch. I will say we have the right
and tested ones...
Best regards,
Joseph Mergui
