Title: Qimage and/or RIP software
Post by: russellsnr on July 01, 2016, 03:05:36 PM
Hi, Now I am just curious here as I have Qimage Ultimate already but  are there any benifits of having a RIP software to work along side Qimage when just printing for your own personl satisfaction at home?
As I say just cutiosity question as doing some research and looking at the prices for RIP software I don't think the boss would go for it!!!! ;D
Thanks
Russ

Hi Russ,
I just did a quick Google on Qimage vss RIP.
Most stuff seems to go back years and therefore do not reflect more recent improvements to QU. There are very few who say there's a big advantage with a RIP, in fact may say in addition to the cost, there are disadvantages like limited profile availability and more difficult to layout and crop.
Perhaps someone with direct experience will respond but I suspect the extra money would be better spent on something else.

Hi, Yes did a search myself but found nothing much on the subject and what I did find was like 3 or more years ago.
Maybe should just take the latest update to QU like I have done every year thus far ;)
