Re: Roland ink made by Epson ? No, I've been told...

Dear Jon,

I have a question(s) that I thought I was clear on but a flurry of emails
on epson/inkjet a while back left me wondering but too other-focused at the
time to  ask.  Concerning the Prove It! and EZ Color.  A lot of folks were
talking about using them together in some way and here's a quote from one
person:
     <<<Buy EZColor with the colorimeter for $450, paying $200 for the
Sequel IV
colorimeter. Buy Prove It! for $50. Since they both support the same
colorimeter, I can profile my monitor with whichever package I like,
probably Prove It!, and use EZColor for my scanner and printer profiles.
What's wrong with this idea? Then buy a hopefully-cheap EZColor upgrade when
they add CMYK support. What RIP will I use? Adobe PressReady, when it comes
out this summer.>>>

Now, I was assuming from what you had kindly answered before that if I use
one, there is 'no place' for the other.  I think I used the term
co-exist--but it was before 5 minutes ago, so don't remember for sure.

I have EZ Color and the puck.  Actually used it for several days then had
to turn to the painting studio then some other projects, none needing
printing at the time.  So I didn't get many of the kinks worked out of EZ
Color, but certainly got fairly close with some Lysonic on Somerset,
printing twice--and experimenting with these as pastel underpaintings,
only.  They never would have worked as final prints in most cases due to at
times to color or to registration.

So, I'm wondering if I have $500.00 invested in EZ Color that will
completely go to waste, or if there is some use in profiling the scanner,
tho it did not seem to be successful in scans I did for a project.

Is the EZ Color puck the same as the Prove It! puck, as suggested in the
quote above?  I ordered the Prove It! with the puck, so if it's the same,
I'd don't need twins.

Finalllllly got the 3000 plugged in and ethernet running today.  Looking
forward to testing it.  Feeling rotten again, durn!  Cramps my style!!!

Looking forward to the September workshop!

And to Prove It! arriving.  Sarah advised of the delay.

Thank you so much for your trouble!
