Hi The first version of Gimp-print 5 is now available (alpha as yet so be careful!)
The capabilities look to be much enhanced over V4.2 (which is pretty good) <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3#5.0.0-alpha1> especially in producing higher quality prints. I'm looking to get a 9600 in the near future and was wondering to what extent it might remove the need for a (none too cheap) RIP? ... especially since the printer will be for photo use. I've been looking at the excellent QuadtoneRIP <http://www.harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html> for the B/W side of my printing, which is similarly based. What does the list's colour management/printing expertise make of all the new features? Something to worry the RIP vendors? :-) bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
