Talked to R&D and the problem is I am using FastRip 9.0 which came with my Epson 3000 and he said there is no setting to adjust the ink deposit and it is putting down too much on the NWP film. Sooooooo anyone need a 13 X 100 roll of NWP film at a discount?

Wow, I thought that one of the selling points of FastRip was that one could adjust the ink volume.

In that same vein, if it is set a certain level (too high) is this indicative of the chemistry of NWP film drastically changing in the last few years? Perhaps the coating is not as absorbent as it used to be.

I remember when FastRip and a 3000 was the hot set-up.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Wow.. ppl still use Fastrip..  ???

GET ACCURIP!!

It allows ink control and has drivers for just about any worthwile Epson printer.. including the 3000  8)

I use the Stuff 4 Print Windsor film in my r1800 with dye inks and it creates incredible films.

I'm working on a 55 line job right now, 3 color all with tones from 5 to 70's and the dots are perfect.
1440x1440 res with 3 drops.

Probably an insultingly dumb suggestion but are you printing on the correct side?
Not insulting, but yes it was on the correct side.... Hoping the R&D will call today.

Well it is like this.... I have not had a problem with fastrip and it came with the printer in a package deal soooooo why fix something when it is not broken? I see no need in spending extra money on something that has been working for years. But if it does break and I have to get another Rip program then your right I am going Accurip. And Stuff4Print it is not your fault. I decided to go with the NWP film and do not hold you responsible at all, but if you will work with me that would be Great! but again I made the decision.
