[alt-photo] Re: Epson 3880 and Snow Leopard

[Marek Matusz]

Chris,

CHeck if Qadtone RIP supports 3880 and just load it and give it a try since Kees says there is an Apple version. You can download it for free to try it. As I mentioned there is no need for any Adobe or Epson interface and dozens of checked or unchecked boxes that can drive anybody insane. I would be happy to supply my standard printing profile. Since I do not even use magenta you should be able to print exactly like 3800 would.

The only (known, but annoying) problem I have is the 'no colormanagement option' that is not working in CS4 and Snow Leopard (with Apple and Adobe pointing fingers at each other). But there's a workaround for that: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/solving.shtml
