> > Who sells RIPs, how much do they cost, and what's a good, easy-to-use one for > the 3000 and/or for the 1200? (snip) Pat Before you go buying a rip go to www.wasatchinc.com. Read their information on rips and color management. This will give you a very good education on why you should use a rip if you are going to do professional work. After you have done that then go searching for a rip. Wasach makes a couple of good ones but they have a good price tag with them. Depending what you want a rip to do you can find LE versions that are reasonably priced. Jim Davis www.visual-artists.com - Please: Stay on topic.
