And me, I'd argue that to get full capability out of any printer, you need a real RIP, one that gives you control of the printer. And while it's a bit rudimentary, it does work. It's certainly not 'free.' The cost of it is built into the cost of every Roland printer. And because of the nature of solvent inkjet, it's not possible to run any solvent printer without a RIP, because media settings are so critical to even being able to print on a media at all.Īnd what Versa Works is is Roland's entry-level RIP that they ship with all their printers. Because what RIP's really are for - in my old and curmudgeonly view - isn't nesting and ganging up images and the like, but for taking full control of the printer, so that you can get maximum capability out of it on any media, in any condition. And that can be known simply because if your Epson was a solvent printer, it would have some sort of real RIP already driving it. The important thing to keep in mind here is that your Roland is a solvent inkjet printer, and your Epson is an aqueous inkjet printer. Keep in mind that new, your Roland lists for about $16000.00, while the most expensive Epson you can get that will even produce an image without a RIP is right at $5000.00. What really surprises me, honestly, is how many people expect to go online and find something of real value for free. Inspiration 9 Software Serial Keys on this page.

It seems alot of money needs to be spent on a RIP just to output a few stickers side by side, or to output a few jobs together via nesting etc. However, it seems that Epson do not have their own RIP'ing software, is that right or am i missing something? Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has any idea's on what software to use on a Epson printer? I used a Roland VS-300 at the moment which comes with Versa Works and we have managed to get this to produce good quality prints that our customers seem to like.
