"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
What I like about Separation Studio and Advanced T-shirts is they both have rip software and I used Corel and AI.
The latest Ultraseps has a 25-60 LPI Output Option. Pseudo RIP? However, I have used Ghost RIP for well over 10 years outputting postscript files from Photoshop and Corel. It's Open Source. Free for public use, and it works fine.

The big thing is proper RIP can be adjusted for the amount of ink to be deposited, can be linearized to create correct size dot and will drive the printer with it's own drivers rather than built in Windows or OSX software.everything we do can be done on a budget at the expense of efficiency and in some cases quality. As better tools are used it becomes easier to produce faster and with less monkeying around. I used GR for years until it was time to upgrade. We all move along at our own pace and have different ideas about what and why we are doing things. It helps to know what's ahead thus my comment on those programs not being true RIPs. Original poster should know what they are so he does not end up having to spend money twice. . .pierre
I don't understand why anyone on a budget or cheap (like me, but I'm retirement age anyway) does not look into GhostRIP. If anyone is interested in Ghost, I have already posted a set of instructions here several times and can probably be found on a search.

I created output from each one yesterday and looked at them using a loupe. The GR dots were much more distinct and clear in the GR. Sorry Steve.

I set for 60 lpi in both outputs.
