I'll leave the pizza wheel tracks to others, but do have a view on the Epson
RIP - don't waste your money!

Subject: EX Problems


I have two questions that deal with the Photo EX.  The first is the lines
left
behind by the metal tracking spindles.  They leave uniform dots going down
the
image.  They are very faint and we assumed they would go away after some
use,
but they are still there.  The printer is still fairly new and I was
wondering
if anyone else has this problem and if anyone could offer any solutions.

My second question is about the RIP that Epson sells.  They have a RIP, for
the photo EX.  Is it worth it?  Does it have any other benefits besides the
handle of post-scripting?

Thanks for any comments.
