Digital BW, The Print

Tyler, I needed to make a color print larger than I could print with my set
up; 4800. I am lucky to have a friend that just purchased a 7800 and also
had IP. We first made some test prints on the Innova Photo Smooth with the
Epson driver with the profile I got from Jim Doyle.  It looked ok, but it
took forever to spool. Then we tried the same file with IP. 

We went ahead and downloaded the profile from IP for Innova, I forget the
new number system that Color Byte is using, but I think it was one meant for
mixed light.  Since I have had IP for three years, I expected the detail to
once again come out in the dmax areas, but this was my first look at a side
by side with the new X800 series. I was not disappointed. The down side is
now that customer will want to see that in all her prints, so I may need to
pony up the fee for my IP and add the 4800. The print was over all smoother
than the Epson driver as well. 

I have IP from my 7000 that will run on the 7600 as well but I don't have
one or access to one with MK. 
 
I guess I have just not wanted to spend the extra money on more upgrades.
With new printers on the horizon, and RIPs that I still haven't fully
integrated into the workflow already loaded on the computer, time is lacking
in my day. Some times I feel this is one big money pit but there is great
promise as well. I grew up out in San Jose, CA aka Silicon Valley and was
told back then (that was in 1979) that I should give up film and start going
digital. Glad I didn't but the times are a changing. ...
