Chris,
Neil Snape has pretty much summed it up. But if you can't go to any RIP to
drive this printer and you're anxious like me to sqyeeze every bit of
control out of the BEST OSX driver for this printer, it isn't going to
happen. You're basically stuck with using their BaseLine profiles and to
make this works, you're going to have to get BEST media.
The only hope with this printer is *when* HP gets around to ship and OSX
version of their RIP. But even then, with the awful problems of ink shifting
colors over a period of 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours, I don't see how an OSX RIP
will make things better.
And say that in their new "Heidelberg RIP" they have the same dismal
controls their other mac-based RIP ships with? Wake up HP! I mean for the
extra amount of money one would pay for this "hot" RIP that runs under Win2k
they have not eve bothered to include any linearization / calibration
functions beyond what they ship on the Mac!
Too bad HP. You've missed a nice market opportunity here. Nice printer. Nice
image quality. But no color stability and no linearization tools: I'll keep
my money with EPSON 2200 for now.
