Title: Epson P800 Best Rip Software
Post by: Balafre on April 12, 2022, 05:40:21 pm: Hello!

Be keen to know user's opinions on the best ripping software to run an Epson SureColor P800 via Apple MacPro / OSX.
I'd appreciate any thoughts you might spare or pitfalls you can warn me of :)

Thank You

Or you're not ripping anything, you want another print driver?

Not exactly a RIP, but excellent nevertheless. https://www.binartem.com/qimageone/

Yup, I have a copy for Mac and it's very, very good.

I now use it with my Epson P900 and the results are the best that I have ever seen. The ImagePrint paper profiles are great and save a lot to time in testing. It’s not cheap, but if you print even a moderate amount, the times savings and resulting print quality is worth it for sure.

Can it? Does it dovetail with C1 ? (I'm being lazy here by asking but someone might have the answer immediately!)

Thank You!

Cheers,
