[Digital BW] Re: Piezo2 vs ImagePrint RIPS? Mike K.?

Julian,

My last message got lost in cyberspace...This duplicates it...

Nij of Mwords kindly showed me a print made on a 7000 using the new 
Piezo2 RIP this morning, and let's just say that so far as I am 
concerned, the jury is out at the moment on whether Piezo2 print 
quality matches Pro24 / PiezoB&W.  This is (if you'll excuse the pun) 
still a grey area...

Print quality is what ultimately matters most to me, and I would want 
to see more examples before moving to the new RIP.

As to more general comparisons with Imageprint 4, it is pretty 
obvious looking at the interface that Piezo2 is based on Imageprint 
4.  For more general info, all you can do at the moment is check out 
the Piezo2 details at  
http://www.piezography.com/piezography2.html
and the pages linked from there, or you could try emailing Jon (good 
luck!)
