Need a 13x19 inkjet w/ postscript - spacescape - 03-22-2006
Ok... I need to locate a GOOD POSTSCRIPT Inkjet that does 11 x 17 spreads... Anyone have any suggestions?
This is for a client of mine and seeing we have a nice canon color copier which has true postscript I'm a little clueless on what to recomend to them...
Oh, this will be hooked up to a Dual 2.0 G5 running 10.3.9.
Thanks!
Bill

what kind of speed does it need?
you can use a software rip with the epson r2400
Re: Need a 13x19 inkjet w/ postscript - jdc - 03-22-2006
or R1800, $550 (which i have) -- software is about $200 extra
do they have a budget? inkjet? not laser?
do you really need postscript?

Once you get the the setup all sorted, the Epson R1800 or R2400 + iProof PowerRIP works pretty well.
Re: Need a 13x19 inkjet w/ postscript - Jimmypoo - 03-22-2006
is the RIP available by itself?
I used to have a few different ones a long time ago, like T-Script and some other one with the word "Free" in it (don't recall right now, but I actually still have it somewhere).
They were processor nightmares.
Is it really that critical now ---- vs. rendering it as a PDF and printing it that way?
enlighten me!
:-D

I use iProof PowerRIPX with an Epson 2200 and it does an amazing job. You can get a list of printers that iproof supports on their website at: http://www.iproofsystems.com

I believe this is replacing a HP 1220 w/ HP Postscript RIP... I think their main printer is a HP 1700 w/ Software RIP... So, they want something similar to the HP1700 but possibly more efficient.
Thanks!

We have the earlier version that came with out Heidelberg proofiing system and it does a very nice job and works well.

Thanks for everyone's help... I think they are leaning twards the HP's because they had allot of issues w/ their last Epson... But, I gave them a list of ones along w/ information on the rips and told them to start reading up on them because I'm not making their decission.
