Hello Joseph,
i have Best Designer Edition (and Photo Edition too) installed on G4/1.25 with 10.2.8, and use it with CanonW2200. Generally, i have no problem with printing color bar/job ticket but - my advice (from my experiences with many BEST products) is - carefully check setting of printing format, and all this preperties like fit to page and orientation - maybe bar is missing due to cut...
And speed - on my Canon (and HP10) speed is comparable to printing from other BEST products - i cant help you.
And last note - i had work with several versions BEST products, not only this one for Mac (which is of course my main and lovely platform), but with Colorproof, Screenproof, Remoteproof and Premium Option too - IMHO all this are a very good products.

Anyone out there used the Best Color Designer Edition 3.0 RIP for Mac

OS X? We have two MAJOR issues that deem this software unusable. I keep

getting the runaround in the form of really lame responses from Best,

which sad to say, has the worst for product support. So I want to throw

this out to the professional community in hopes of resolving the

following issues:

1) The control strip/color bars do not print. We have tried all

recommendations from product documentation and Best support to no

avail.

2) The print speed is terribly SLOW. The normal Epson driver prints

fast, even unidirectional. When the Best DE is controlling, it takes

about 30 minutes to print a medium coverage letter size page. There is

a hesitation after each line, the print head waits anywhere from 15

seconds to 2 minutes.

A proposed bug fix link directed us to the Best site, but no fix was

there. They mentioned an .exec file, so maybe this is only available to

PC users? Anyway, I logged in and went to downloads for DE and there

were none available.

We are using a G4 iMac with 512MB RAM running OS 10.2.8.

Given Best's reputation for quality RIPs, this one leaves me with a bad

feeling... even though it's a "lite" or "designer" edition, I am
>
starting to believe that Best has released a real dog in the

marketplace.
>
>
I hope someone out there can tell me different.
