![]() I update the computer I usually printed on to BigSur to which imagenest has. I am getting a -9871 message everytime I go to print. i have a ipf 8400 printer and use an imac with imagenest rip software. So, I am happy with this purchase, and definitely recommend ImageNest to anyone else looking to switch from Qimage who doesn't want to use Windows just for printing. I have a ipf 8400 printer and use an imac with imagenest rip. I confirmed with the vendor that these settings are only active if Color Handling is set to "ImageNest Manages Colors". Uprezzing was set to "Canon" and Sharpening was set to "High" (I think Medium would also work well). I set the Uprezzing resolution to the highest value in Preferences, and left the RGB Source Profile at its default "Relative Colorimetric". ![]() Using ImageNest with "ImageNest Manages Colors" and the "Generic RGB Profile" worked well for me, very nearly matching the Qimage output. I don't spend any time on profiling or custom profiles - I just tell the driver what paper I'm printing on. I print to a Canon Pro9000 Mark II, using Canon Pro Platinum paper. I did some side-by-side test prints with Qimage and ImageNest and found that ImageNest was able to come very close to Qimage's results, and I think I actually prefer the ImageNest output! (incidentally, it was blindingly obvious the difference between Qimage/ImageNest and simply printing from the Mac Preview application, so this is a worthwhile pursuit) (responding to this old post since I am switching to Mac after 10+ years using Qimage and I found this thread very helpful during searches) RIP stands for Raster Image Processor and any application that is a RIP can transform vector data into raster data. For the buck,it IS the most amazing software ever written in my humble opinion. Since I have used it for over 10 years, I am used to it's interface. ![]() Works very well with all the printers I tried from a 24' HP z3200 to an Epson 9600 using QuadToneRIP or the Epson driver. Since I already have Parallels, I use Qimage. I've just been testing the latest ImageNest RIP, that adds a RIP 'front end' to any Mac printer driver. ImageNest is a PostScript RIP and can work with almost any file type Including EPS, PDF, and all Raster (JPG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, etc.) Formats. I certainly found it printed better than from Aperture, clearly. Be aware it still does use the Epson driver so it is not a true RIP program. Although not as robust as Qimage, it has some technology to improve upon the Epson drivers. … JPEG is a standards committee that designed an image compression format.Considering you want to print out of a Mac, I would suggest you try a demo of ImageNest. … EPS stands for the Encapsulated PostScript format from Adobe.
