ImageNest RIP and Epson Advanced Black and White Mode:  Epson€™s advanced black and white mode functions without any ICC color management so any output (printer class) profile should not be applied.   Clicking on the €œEpson Color Controls€ will allow the Advanced Black and White to work properly.   Epson€™s Advanced black and white mode will not work if €œColorSync is selected as the ColorSync controls will try to apply an ICC profile which interferes with Epson€™s Advanced Black and White mode which is a non-ICC process.

To set up your HP Z series Leopard driver correctly first make sure you have €œPrinter Manages Color€ set as the default in your ImageNest preferences. The first settings to configure when in the print dialog is the “Color Matching setting. Once configured remember that all settings can be saved under €œPresets€.

Pull down the €œProfile€ menu and choose the profile for your printer and media combination. With this method only profiles made by Hewlitt Packard will show up and be available. If you are using a custom made profile scroll to the bottom of the list and choose “Other Profiles”. This will load all the profiles in your ColorSync folder and make them available for use with the print driver.

Next, go to the Paper Type/Quality setting to configure your paper type.

The paper type you select needs to match the profile selected in the previous step. If using a custom profile, be sure to use the same setting that was used when creating the profile. The Paper Type/Quality setting has a large effect on color. If a profile is used for the incorrect setting color results will be severely compromised.

Once you have made your Paper Type/Quality setting you can save all the settings you have made as a set. Now you can select the setup whenever you wish to print without having to redo your settings

Always remember that ImageNest can print to any printer you have.  We are a Epson RIP, Canon RIP, and an HP RIP

The Epson drivers have taken a huge leap forward and are now CUPS based (Common Unix Printing System) . The former technology called TIOGA was far more limited and did not have the ability to use true 16 bit or to easily use custom made profiles (Not impossible but not easy). (more…)

Just like Epson and Canon printers we support any HP Printer that currently runs on OSX. Here is a listing of some of the popular photo and graphics arts printers made my HP that we support:  We are committed to being the premier HP Rip on the market and will continue to make improvements until we are.
