I'm still
walking the fence on RIPs....
At an ASMP meeting tonight, I was told that ImagePrint "uses the
Epson driver engine internally and is an RGB RIP that is incapable of
independently controlling the ink channels" of an Epson 9600.
Fact or fiction?
Fiction. ImagePrint drives the Epson directly at the print head,
bypassing all Epson driver functions. What it doesn't do is to give
YOU control over the ink channels.
I
was also told that there is no linearization or GCR possible with
ImagePrint. Seems to be true from what I can find on the web
site.
The linearization and KGen have been done by ColorByte's paper
profiles.
There
were comments to the effect that the image layout features were very
good, but that the image quality was less than that of several
Windows-only RIPs (e.g. ErgoSoft's StudioPrint) because ImagePrint is
"limited by the internal use of the Epson driver code, which
limits the ink and therefore the gamut" of the
9600.
That has not been my experience in terms of the results, and the
explanation is certainly untrue-ImagePrint doesn't use any Epson
driver code.
