Digital BW, The Print

Bob  -
 
For me it was easy to decide.  I couldn't get the b&w that I wanted with the Epson drivers/profiles, or with the Atkinson profiles.  The next step was custom profiles, but I was still stuck with the Epson drivers.  So, I went to my local Epson WF dealer and they demo'd Imageprint on both b&w and color.  SOLD!.
 
But, this is very subjective.  Your personal tastes, bankroll, space, etc., all play into your decission.  On my machine the Imageprint b&w and color are excellent.
 
BTW, Colorbyte offers a 30 return policy.  I don't know if that applies only to purchases through them directly, or through 3rd part suppliers.  You could try it and see on your own machine.

Tom,

Now that I have got the IP Demo working with my 2200, I find that the B&W
works fine - better than I can do with a good custom profile. However, the
color prints I have made are nowhere near as accurate as those I have made
with a custom profile (ProfilerPro/Colormouse/Artisan). So for me the
question is are the B&W prints worth the money for IP, the color prints
clearly aren't. IP's canned profiles presumably don't take into account the
printer variations we get with the cheaper printers.

> I think that's a pretty fair assesment.  I elected the 'pay someone else
to do the work' approach.  I have a 9600 with Imageprint.  I don't regret it
at all.  If there is a perception that 'money is no object', then this a
good way to go.  (Actually, in my case, there was a difference of opinion in
the household on the 'money is no object' question, but the print quality
has helped smooth that over.)

download a profile from Colorbyte (at no additional cost over the RIP
price), it is spot on, and I can use it immediately.  This due in part to
Colorbyte's quality, and the fact that there is almost no variation between
individual printers in the 9600 and 7600 line.  I was under the impression
that was also the case with the 2200, but some posts on here indicate that
might not be the case.  So, if you're thinking about the 2200, you might
want to independently verify that issue.
