Different Tom, but....
Other than a couple of kown issues, I have never had a problem with IP that I didn't cause. Not to throw stones, but most of the posts about problems with IP appear to be either OS or operator caused. I do not, however, stress IP in the area of layout, etc. I just use it to arrange my images on the sheet, select profiles, and that sort of thing. So, there may be problems in the areas of IP that I don't use.
I can absolutely depend on IP to deliver what I expect on the print. Every time. Color or b&w.

Tom,
Just a quick question about IP. Why do you suppose that so many
folks have problems with IP software?
I'm not bothered so much by the cost as compared to the apparent
hassle it appears to just use it. I've looked into it several times,
but the amount of issues people seem to have is pretty friggin'
ridiculous in my opinion. I'd much rather be out clicking the
shutter... And, I guess I'll just continue to use the simple
approach of printer profiling, or BO, until CB gets it right(or a
competitor)...
Thanks in advance,
Steve
