This forum has dozens of posts describing Postscript output from your graphics programs. Search for R1800

tpitman doesn't explain his problem with EPSON printers but among ink jet printers, EPSON are the only printers where the variable size dots can be controlled by the programmer. HP and Canon inkjets use thermal heads that heat the ink to make it jet. EPSON's use a piezo head that vibrates and jets the ink without heat.

Without help from a RIP, EPSON printers can't achieve UV density greater than 1.60. With a RIP, they can translate Postscript output into the complicated shapes and increase UV ink density to 3.0 when printed at 1440dpi.

RIPs for the R1800 cost $US495 - $SU595 and FastFilms costs $US995.
