James,
I've been trying to get high quality output from an Epson 7500 and
FieryX2 RIP for months without a lot of satisfaction. The ink dithering
algorithms of the Fiery RIP are very crude when compared with other
RIPs such as BESTcolor. Do yourself a big favor and forget the Fiery
box, it's no longer a "state of the art" solution.
