AccuRip doesn't support Epson 1430 with new Emerald?
Sbrem:
We still are using AccuRIP Black Pearl on our T3270, which is a fairly new printer compared to a 1400 or 1430, which is probably why we haven't had the end of life issue. But maybe I should do some homework here and see what they have on the horizon...

This is exactly why i ditched accurip - now use PrintFab XL with our 1430 no issues and cheaper.

Came in one morning to print seps and low and behold got an error EOL, so I got on the phone with AccuRip and found out it was End of Life for the program, was offered the upgrade so I decline and move to something else. I might look at printfab
cbjamel:
look at cadlink rip if ever going bigger than 1430 say t3270 go XL version.
I have used version since usscreen times.

The negatives to using this one is that the halftone conversion process is the same as using the bitmap halftone conversion you do in Photoshop. You can’t adjust the dot of a single color bitmap file for dot gain. That’s what a good rip does (at output). It enables you to compensate by reading a print out and knowing where your dots are and you enter those values into the RIP to compensate. With a bitmap conversion, yes, you get dots in a line screen at various lpi. But you would have to be a knowable separator to know how to adjust for compensation (in the photoshop file) before using those techniques. I mean you can, you can print dots and you can cut back on halftones areas in the greyscale sep in photoshop, but unless you have a densitometer and can read where you are on press or on paper or tee, you won’t really know. Most do just fine with them tho. Most don’t really want or care that the 5% is not a real 5% or that the 70% is filling at the shadow tones. They work with what they have. They just want a small dot there that holds in the screen.
