Need to Register?

amendmentpro · January 14th, 2009

I need some advice, I'm a screen printer that has started his own company and right now I've been doing my own artwork ( no experience). I've been using a HP Office Pro K8600 Inkjet because of the wide output, but now I need to print halftones. I don't think I can find any RIP software that is compatible to this printer so I'm left wondering if I should buy a different printer, price would definately be an issue. Can anybody recommend a good printer (laser or inkjet) with at least a 11X17 output or Rip software that is compatible (besides Ghostscript)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If one is looking for this, there is one of these listed in the TSF classifieds by outdabox. The title is screen printing and sign making eq for sale.

Epson 3000 is sheet fed & has poor registration, get a 4000/4400/4450, roll fed & very reliable.

We use a HP Laserjet 8000N that we bought from a Copier / Printer sales and service. It was a trade in and we paid $400.00, it prints 11 X 17. With Corel you don't need a RIP program, just a postscript printer to print halftones.
Good Luck, John
