It is the same with the Epson SC 9000 on a Windows 98SE system.
And we use the Generations Pigment inks. The only time I really
need the Wasatch SoftRip is when there's Hahnemuhle canvas to be
printed, that needs more ink than even the Photo Paper setting
can provide. Epson could do us a favor by adding extra 'virtual'
paper settings (ink limit, GCR etc) that are more transparent to
the user. For printing we use the CorelDraw 9 suite. That has
better imposition controls than the Wasatch SoftRip.
