Having spent a bit of time with a rip for a Roland large format inkjet
printer (the specific RIP escapes me at this moment, though Colorburst is
what comes first to me) and all the discussion of the Imageprint RIP - I am
wondering if anyone can clarify a point. One of the strengths of the RIP we
were using with the Roland was that there was no black box/driver, etc. we
had to work through - the RIP took total control of the Roland and performed
it's ink limiting, RGB to printer inkset conversion, CMYK to printer ink set
conversion, etc. based on a profile/environment. I'm assuming this was
possible due to the way the Roland was design; i.e. It allowed for this kind
of (external to it) control. The profiles/environments were specific to
substrate/output resolution/ink set.
Two questions:
1. I am wondering if there are Epson printers that allow for this kind of
control?
2. Is Imageprint getting the results they are because of this, or is it
still having to work through a black box built into the printer?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Mark
