Still, it's fast and easy to do the manual rotations in pre-flight. However, I haven't yet figured out a way to get the RIP to automatically rotate when nesting to save even more media. There's even a grouping function and several media conservation strategies. Nesting is automatic and it's easy to put small crop marks everything everything and change spacings between stuff.

Single page PDF and EPS files are processed with the integrated postscript processor that is very fast and offers lots of customizability for output resolutions and anti-aliasing samples and even a selection between a square or triangle for a base shape.

My 9600 on most media at 720x720DPI bi directionally-printed - so over 30 square feet per hour - will actually appear smoother and sharper than non-RIP'ed Epson driver prints at maximum resolution with all multi pass settings on and a print speed of about 6 square feet an hour. The results are nothing short of stunning and the workflow is so smooth. I know that several patterns will not create high enough density in black so if you're reasonably intelligent you'll likely not profile these. The nice thing about this is that in the early phases of profiling you can tell right away if a pattern/rosolution combination is going to work out or not by looking at the ink restriction swatch and seeing if the dot pattern shows visible dots or not and whether or not you can get dense enough coverage. This one is straight forward: make sure colours expected are being printed as specified.ĭepending on how many readings you want to do for each square and whether you're reading in strips or individually, it takes anywhere from about one hour to over eight hours to profile a single media/dot pattern/resolution/ink print mode (Variable or fixed dot in the case of the Epson 9600) and ink combination if you switch between matte and photoblack or double matte. Also a highly subjective and completely non-scientific process.ĥ. I'm guessing this differs from the ink restrictions settings because it allows you to set different limits for different colour mixes. I'm still not exactly sure what this does though I know that one of the colour models is sort of a grey balancing thing where you use a colorimeter to scan in all of these boxes and the software chooses the most neutral box.Ĥ.
Linearization so that you get a consistent curve of densities from your printer for each ink.ģ. Highly subjective and often non-scientific process which a huge number of variables depending on dot pattern and resulution.Ģ. Set ink restrictions so you don't get any bleeding, feathering, or pooling which I found actually causes UC Photo Black ink to become a matte black and look really gross. This RIP has one of the most involved profiling processes I have ever seen in a RIP. Lexjet "Professional" Semimatte 10mil (looking for an alternative so I'm printing this cheaply and the RIP was helping out) I'm printing it cheap and clearing it out but the RIP makes it faster so I profiled it)īreathing Colour Brilliance I canvas (AMAZING canvas)
Anyhow, I ended up profiling the following media:Įpson PremierArt WR Canvas (Awful, glossy, sometimes sticky canvas. For those of you that are really into printing and were considering a RIP I'd definitely recommend it if you can drum up the business to justify the cost which will be anywhere from $1000 to $6000US or so depending on how you get it configured.

I've finally figured out how to add and profile new media with the Onyx Graphics Postershop RIP and the optional media manager thingie.
