- Very important for Gilcee print making and fine art reproduction. On Epson's Photo Quality Inkjet paper, PowerRIP X actually has a 50% greater color gamut, than with our competitors' software RIP. This enables you to make a better low cost proof, that is more accurate.
- Keep in mind that new, your Roland lists for about $16000.00, while the most expensive Epson you can get that will even produce an image without a RIP is right at $5000.00. The important thing to keep in mind here is that your Roland is a solvent inkjet printer, and your Epson is an aqueous inkjet printer.
I myself use the epson driver with my Epson Stylus Pro 4800, I'm not happy with the Epson driver. I'm looking for a driver / software RIP combination to replace the Epson driver. Most of my printing is done from within Adobe Illustrator CS2.
Epson Edge Print and Epson Edge Control Dashboard let you get printing quickly and optimally
Epson has announced Edge Print RIP software, designed for F-Series textile printers. It’s bundled with new printers to help you get the best possible results, quickly, delivering high performance with Adobe’s PS core engine to process Post Script data for a variety of file formats. Running on Windows, with simple setup and no need for a dongle, it allows users to manage up to four printers with easy set up, providing simple file management, colour control, screening, step and repeat and nesting.
Epson Edge Print helps customers to get the best possible quality output by using Precision Dot technology, which chooses the optimum droplet sizes and screening patterns. It harmonises three key Epson technologies: Half Tone Module, LUT (Look-up Tables) and Micro Weave. Used with Epson’s own wide gamut profile to maximise colour gamut, it creates smooth gradations, delivers colour constancy under different light conditions, and reduces graininess.

Edge Print also works in harmony with other Epson tools, including the LFP Accounting Tool. With Epson Control Dashboard integrated into the software, it provides customers with printer status and the ability to download print configuration for their media from the Epson media library and send directly to the printer.

“In order achieve high quality output the customer needs to set print parameters. To aid this process Epson has prepared Edge Print validated pre-sets including ICC profiles that can be downloaded from the cloud,” says Neil Greenhalgh, textile product manager, Epson Europe. “Combined with the link to Epson’s LFP Accounting Tool, we can also help you calculate the value of each print, based on ink and paper consumption – giving you better visibility and provisioning on each job. This complete solution gives reliable, high-quality and accurate results, reduces wastage and allows scaling of production, which boosts business and speeds up production.”
Initially released with the SC-F9300, the new updated version to be launched in March will now support the range of Epson dye sublimation printers (SC-F6200, SC-F7200 SC-F9200) and will be bundled with every new printer. Available as an option for existing owners.
